It's No Wonder Why I Don't Like to Watch Malaysian TV.....

Imagine... watching Desperate Housewives

... The episode where Gabrielle and Carlos are attending Sunday mass. The pastor suddenly announces the return of Sister Mary Bernard from her missionary work in Africa... And then... A LONG SILENCE... censored words that remove the humour from the joke. And you get frustrated trying to figure out what was funny about that!

Apparently, the scissors in Malaysia seem to be cutting all the good scenes, albeit the profanity. If u r going to cut too much... why the rating?... Might as well censor everything and give a "U" rating. The censorship board thinks that Malaysian adults do not have the mentality to watch such things.

Thank the Heavens I do not need to put up with such absurdity anymore... technology is advanced enough for me to obtain the shows I want to watch... ke ke ke.

And even better, while everyone is watching "pre-historic" seasons; I'm watching THE latest of them all.

You see, Malaysian TV is showing Season 2 of Desperate Housewives, Season 2 of Grey's Anatomy and has ended Season 2 of Boston Legal. I'm in the midst of Season 3 for all of them... hah! The only show I watch on TV is The Amazing Race; and that is becoz AXN is smart enough to air the show hours after they have aired over in America & Canada.

Oh and so u know... THE LONG SILENCE... was actually Gabrielle screaming "SON OF A BITCH" upon seeing Sister Mary Bernard... then realizing what she had done, she 'sshhh's the old lady behind her... and trust me! I fell off my chair laughing.

Recommended New Series: "Heroes" which tells a story of ordinary people who eventually wake up to new super-power abilities that will be required to prevent a catastrophe and save mankind. Starring Hayden Panettiere (as Claire Bennet; we last saw her as Ally McBeal's daughter), Masi Oka (as the lovable and charming Hiro Nakamura), Adrian Pasdar (as NY congressional candidate Nathan Petrelli), Milo Ventimiglia (as Nathan's brother, Peter Petrelli) and many more.

Oops... I forgot! Unless u r IN with the technology thingy, you'd probably have to wait a year or two before it reaches our shores and get subjected to the misdemeanour of the Malaysian Censorship Board!
