  • Canon and Vimeo are attempting a video-equivalent of a Twitter novel. What probably excites me most is the fact that these short films – or the first one at least – will be shot on Canon SLRs, in HD.

Indonesia’s can of whoop-ass

Last week, Indonesian rebel group BENDERA (Benteng Demokrasi Rakyat or People’s Democratic Defence) started sweeping Jakarta’s streets to find, and wave sharpened bamboo sticks at, Malaysians in their capital (Read all about it here.)

BENDERA then outlined their plan to “invade” Malaysia. Say WHAT?

Indonesia’s population is estimated to be around 229,965,000. Malaysia’s comes in at around 28,310,000. Why would we want to piss our LARGER neighbour off?

Between His Royal Highness Ike Turner, maid abuse horror stories and Malaysian ships in desperate need of some freggin’ GPS, I’d say they have plenty of reasons to hate us.

Still, I would appreciate it if they made it a little easier for us to take them seriously. My countrymen need to learn their lesson. But if the reckoning coming is going to look as ridiculous as BENDERA does right now, Malaysians won’t change a damn thing!

Please stop breaking blocks over your head and sharpening Satay sticks. We need the fear of God knocked into us, people! And an angry mob that can be stopped by scheduling problems, isn’t a mob worth fearing at all.

What do you mean the invasion’s been postponed? Did your day job hit you up on your Blackberry?

Know what…it’s a tactic. They’re trying to have us in stitches so we don’t see what hit us when they do come.

O and did you happen to catch that “satu rumpun” mess? “Satu rumpun.” “Satu Malaysia.” When did our government turn Buddhist? Typical totalitarians, they wanna be one with everything!
