today i shall talk about Project Superstar and its sub programs(e.g: campus superstar)
what is it: a singing competition for superstar wannabe`s to participate. i think they can get a 2 year plan with mediacorp if they win and they stand a chance to release their own album too
where is this program being aired in: singapore duh.
why is this program being made: i think this sort of program is to CHEAT End consumer`s money. as you can see, they have those sms vote thingy, and many (not all) singaporean girls will definitely send tonnes and tonnes of smses to support their "superstar". And this is what mediacorp wants! to MAKE more money~
when is this program being aired: today, sunday 4th of february 2007
i have actually been thinking for quite sometime, how can parents stop their children from sending these expensive sms especially if its the parent themselves that is paying the bill.
i can expect to see the child showing a irritated face and saying "aiya so cheap dun complain la".
in actual fact its cheap! 60cents per sms w/o gst only mah! send a few wont die one!!
but what the silly child never thought of is, how many sms will she send for this superstar thing AND how many sms she will send for the whole month. not forgetting phone calls. all these can sum up to about $300++ per mth if you are a avid sms supporter to superstar.
of course, not forgetting that some students might go to mediacorp to support these people, these shows are live mind you. and by the time they finish, time shld be ard 10++pm. on a sunday 10pm, to make it worse, these "fans" might stay around the area to try to catch another glimpse of their idol. and by the time they reach home sibeh tired. so they sleep all the way till the next day, alarm ring, off it and sleep till probably noon or something. therefore, affecting their studies.
sigh...i believe what outside people claim is right. singapore way of governing is worse than or same with North Korea. only know how to plp those ang moh IMF delegates, PLP those tourists, especially rich ones, and rather offer jobs to foreign ppl rather than locals due to they are willing to accept low pay.
SAVE ME!! >.<
PS: this post is not in anyway real or criticising something. just something i typed out of boredom =)
