Sultan of Swing

In Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, the Germans able to persuade the Sultan to agree to give them supplies and support by offering him....the Mercedes. Just like how a leader who voiced out the rakyat's consent by driving a Jaguar.

Optimus

Image
As usual the marketing idiots in Hotwheels strategically make the adults buy their stuff. When you thought you going to have another Delorean, they released Optimus Prime. One with the trailer and one without.  Different size. Then they released his insecure friend - Ultra Magnus. Like the Proton Saga, forget finding this in retail stores as scalpers got this and sell it in the secondary market.

rather than acting out or delivering results on key issues, this guy is fantastic in selling special car registration plate numbers.

The Feet and Janggut

i was taken by surprise of how our local teledrama directors and producers here pushing the limits of controversy, strategically using them to generate some "cheap" sensation so people will watch their garbage. Here we can see the actress acrobatically arouse a lebai in a telemovie entitled Bidaah. what the fuck man? the scene is criminally weird and absurdly funny ( to me ) as we still havent recovered from the GISB controversy, where the members of the cult caught drinking beard flavored water.  The GISB supreme leader named Abuya apparently pulled off a hair or two from his beard, soaked it in a water, and have their followers to add in more water for medicine or commercial purposes e.g to be sprayed to their bakery products. Their followers believe the water will cure them from disease.    Anyway back to the feet topic - Quentin Tarantino likes to shoot woman's feet consistently too.  click more here if you have nothing else to do   https://en.wikipedia.org/...

Again its baffling seeing companies linked to the government got an easy way out by having multiple bail outs.  the problem about bail outs is - the money is used is citizen's money. Might as well you drag all those highly paid CEO's to dig their own pocket to pay their shit or take responsibility of the mess they created.  Meet Sapura, in 2018 they got MYR 2.68 billion to clean up their mess, yet still is debt laden and now in 2025, they got another MYR 1.1 billion. Total bailout is MYR 3.7 billion.                                                        Now meet Marvel, in the 90's, they were struggling hard. Eventually they have to sell off Spidey, Ghost Rider, Tho...
