Adios, Instant Cafe Theatre
I'm still trying to convince myself that the story running on the front page news of The Star is nothing more than a bad, bad joke.
How could it be?! I was already praying for a sequel right after I stepped out of the theatre! After some more reading, it was this ridiculous complaint that sparked everything.
"Bolehwood Awards teater komedi yang melampau" my ass! Get real, if it really was spreading social ills, i'm pretty damn sure a racial riot would've broke out there and then! Very Malaysian, isn't it? Find a little bit of Westernism, release the dogs.
This does not bode well. Is it just a matter of time before the censorship board get their hands on local theatre?

Hey, good that you read about it! I was absolutely in shock. It's a darn good thing we caught it before this happens. I actually thought Malaysia is finally 'stable' enough to accept jokes such as those but guess what? I was sooo wrong... Goes to show some things do not change.
