There is a Metro news on The Star today
Heck, I’m sure at 9 inches long, he’ll have all the adventures he want. Who would miss a chance for… ahem… learning, right?
SPOILER: Read the mouseover text to find out what’s really happening.

Ken’s Kinky Adventure
Oct 22
Bad Translation
Yes, that is an actual sign found in a secluded place in The University of Melbourne. It’s almost as if someone insert the Mandarin phrase into an online translation service and just copied the output.
Almost… as Google Translate gave even worse results:
Equally bad translation
Pondan brand Cake Mix?
Oct 20
Not to be confused with "Pondan" in Malay language. Product found in Indonesian supermaket in Melbourne.
Yea… coz’ apparently the word Pondan doesn’t mean the same thing in Indonesian language and Malay language. Heck, the word doesn’t even exist in the Indonesian language. And no, I am not making this up. Check it out, they have a whole range of Pondan product available.
Don’t get me wrong – I am not a homophobe. I really do want to see this kind of products made available in Malaysia, all Pondan products. I just hope they have a better marketing/branding team in Malaysia, lest they make the mistake in the urban myth of the Chevy Nova.
Malaysia IS a country?
Oct 19
I can almost imagine what goes on in the minds of people who made those searches:
Hmm.. Malaysia? Vaguely familiar name. Let’s see which country it’s in..
Oh wait.. You mean to tell me Malaysia IS a country?
Seriously? 165,000,000 results for “Malaysia is in which country”?
Also note Malaysia is/is not an Islamic state
Also interesting is the Islamic state search results. 3.93 million results for “Malaysia is an Islamic state” versus 1.03 million for “Malaysia is not an Islamic state”. I have less faith in Malaysia now.
So, you now know that when you park your car illegally, somebody is going to take a picture and upload it onto the Internet for the world to see. And next time, the number plates won’t be blurred so inconspicuously. =)
