just minishorts.

I am a TV addict. I find it hard to live without the idiot box staring back at me at the end of a tiring day. But if you were to ask me what my favourite TV drama is, I would be hard pressed to name even one.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, no? Similarly, a soap opera by any other name would stink as bad. I abhore soaps, and some so-called 'TV dramas' these days are just as bad. Not surprisingly, as the majority of people are usually morons, I seem to hold the minority opinion and hence I cannot understand the craze behind some of these 'soaps':

1) OC - One fine day many moons ago, someone decided to make a show about rich people whinning about their miserable lives. They called that show 'Dynasty'. Boy, that was a huge hit. And now, some blokes decided to revive a soap to remind everybody how mediocre their lives were compared to those rich people. Would you watch a soap called PJ? I thought not.

Redeeming points : Great soundtrack. I'll give them that.

2) Smallville - A show about Superman as a kid. COOL! That's what I thought when I first heard of it. Superman is cool, and hence a superman series should be cool. Boy I was wrong. I watched one blinking episode of it and hated it in an instant.

Apparently, Superman did face loads of juvenille problems in school…the same problems every other teenage kid faces. But wait..Superman's not every other kid. He's goddamn Superman! If you were to travel back into time, think of all the problems you faced as a teenager. Now, if only you had Superman's powers……..

Redeeming points : It's still essentially a Superman show which saves it from being a flop. Oh, and apparently some girls think that the bald dude is cute. *blueak*

3) WWE - No kidding. This has got to be the longest running soap opera that went under the disguise of being a sport. It has everything a soap should have. Power, hate, betrayal, revenge and even love. Oh, and sheer lunacy. I'll admit that it did fool me when I was a kid. The plot is blinkingly stupid and the acting is so bad it makes Keanu Reeves look like a good actor.

Redeeming points : Big breasted women wrestling each other.

4) Desperate Housewives - I kid you not…when I first heard that people were downloading episodes of this show off the net, I thought that it was a title of a very cheesy porn. This show is pure evil. It deludes housewives into thinking that they can be as hot as Teri Hatcher when they grow old. It deludes the guys into thinking their wives can be as stunningly beautiful as that when they get old. Oh, and did I not mention the ridiculous plot?

Redeeming points : Eva Longoria.

5) One Tree Hill - Why so many people watch this show is way beyond the scope of my puny brain to process. The title says it all. There are already too many soaps on brainless teenagers. This just adds to the junk that is already out there.

Redeeming points : None at all.

Oh….did anybody realise that Japanese Animes are actually another name for 'Cartoon Soaps'?

It's up. Finally. It's been in the talks for a few months now, and we've had meetings, midnight talks, and illegal mid-office hour bashings just to get the thing up.

But yes, finally. It's up. And bloggers get to finally, have their say. BlogsMalaysia–the blog about bloggers, by bloggers, for bloggers.

I'll take another post to explain the voting system. For now, however, you might want to test out the spanking new BlogsMalaysia. We need content, and obviously it will come from YOU!

How's that for a promo, eh?
