If you asked me

I’d tell you who is just as cul­pa­ble. Your friendly neigh­bour­hood broad­caster.

For accept­ing NKF monies to pro­duce toopid char­ity shows. (I don’t blame any of the artistes, such as Tay Ping Hui, who are on a con­tract with our friendly neigh­bour­hood broad­caster and as a result, are oblig­ated to walk on wires wear­ing only stilet­tos and a g-string for the shows, being made to believe that these are called ‘dan­ger­ous stunts’.)

I haven’t read the 400+ page report so I don’t know if it reveals how much money went to the broad­caster for their infer­nal annual NKF shows. But let me remind all youse res­i­dents of this good coun­try: You pay Tele­vi­sion & Radio Licence Fees. $110 per house­hold. Addi­tional $27 for motor-vehicles. Per annum.

So even if you didn’t begrudge our broadcaster(s) for con­tin­u­ing to receive adver­tis­ing rev­enue on top of licens­ing rev­enue, you’d at least be ask­ing how much money they asked from a char­ity to do a char­ity show.

They can’t tell us like we tell read­ers, ‘Don’t like, don’t watch’, because we’re oblig­ated to fork out the fees. C’mon, fel­las, we know the UK has licens­ing fees too, but at least they have the BBC.

Lid­dat can already! No need to do stunts one. Besides, this chick looks bet­ter in heels than Tay Ping Hui does!
