Queer Happenings

It's been a week since I finished my latest reservist training. While still trying to tune back to normal civilian life, certain stuff in the news have been anything but normal.

Happening 1
A local book was launched recently by the "queer", for the "unqueer", presumably to gain acceptance by "coming out". Kudos.

Happening 2
Our beloved SM also came out and said he was trying to find out why aren't Singaporeans producing as much offspring as the last generation. Well, the above could be part of the reason --- ok bad joke, sorry. Back to the riddle. Now, if a friend were to bring this topic up to me at a coffeshop, my reaction would be,"Don't be stupid and act blur la!" But since I'm not at a coffeeshop and most unfortunately not his friend, I can only offer an alternative solution here. Why, you say? Well it's due to the cost of living! All you need to do is reduce the cost of housing and cars and I assure you before you can say "Tax Relief", there'll be thousands more rascals coming out of wombs. The policy planners can then take their Tax Reliefs and shove them up somewhere where the sun don't shine.

Did anyone read Saturday's TNP? Kumar is Uncle Agony!? My God, drag queen humour and real-life issues don't mix, sista! A married lady was worried than her 40-something year old husband does not have any ambition and has been jobless for sometime; however, their sex life is not affected. Lo and behold! The joker says she can't have the best of both worlds and suggests that they should just keeping humping so she doesn't have time to think about the painful reality.

A young lady who's the sole breadwinner of a 3-member family nucleus screams "Help! I'm a shopoholic who might end up bankrupt soon!" Mr Kumar skips along with his brush and paints a rainbow across the horizon and encourages her to enjoy shopping and live for the day, trivialising shopping addiction as wholesome activity compared to drugs.

In a time where Mr Brown is being lambasted for irresponsible abuse of his media reach, here we have a popular drag queen comedian peddling nuggets of family advice. The lines of fantasy and reality have definitely been blurred.

Finally, last but most certainly not the least, in fact, saving the best for last... Zoe swallows!!! I knew it, how else would the queen of Caldecott Hill remain so youthful looking all these years? Ahhhhh, Imedeen pills. In Saturday's TNP alone, a handful of writers had their field day, not to mention the unmentionables on the internet, criticizing the queen for the sexually charged ad.

Bullshit, I say! I dare venture that 99% of these "saints" perching themselves on imaginary higher moral grounds would swallow the real deal for half the endorsement fee she received. That'd be really queer then...
