mercredi, novembre 01, 2006  Fun lah. Obviously not for the faint-hearted; I found myself wishing that the lawyers would make it more fun by actually doing the penalties instead of trying so hard to make their point. The point of the entire debate was NOT to win, the point was to have fun, which the media team did. The lawyers looked like a cross between being constipated and trying to have fun because their mothers told them so.mrbrown was the chairperson, and I hope he had fun. He didn't look like he was having fun; could have been his deadpan expression. One thing which spoilt the whole entire evening was the utter shocking rudeness of the 4th speaker on the panel for the media team. Mainly because he shouted, extremely seriously "SHADDAP!" twice in the session. You know how people sometimes say "oh shut up!" in a blase manner, and you know they don't mean it? He was deadly serious. First to the timekeeper, Sandy, who was just doing her job as she rang in his time to wrap up, and next to some other member of the audience for daring to raise a point about Singaporeans while he was caucasian. He also said it in the exact manner that I wrote it - not "shut up", but "shaddap". Poor showing, that. If I were adjudicating, he would have gotten negative points for style, completely nullifying Hamish Brown's brilliant posing, and then some. I think the entire audience was shocked to silence when he screamed at the poor timekeeper. Rude, just rude. [Rematch: Law-Media Debate] |
