Movie Ticket prices are going up! Low Birthrate crisis over! Piracy Sales hit all time High!

On March 30, 2005, the heads of Shaw Organisation, Eng Wah Organization and Golden Village met up in a private meeting to think of some "cock & bull" stories to sell to the public. Try to con their way into Increasing Movie Ticket Prices with a "just cause"!

In the press release on the same day, they mentioned that with effect from May 1, 2005, film-goers here have to pay more to watch a movie at their cinemas. These 3 cinema lines will increase weekday tickets by $0.50 and weekend prices by S$1. Which make our weekday tickets increase from $6.50 & $7.50 to $7.00 & $8.00, and weekend $8.50 to $9.50. This is what we get after helping them "be original, fight piracy"...kinda feel like I was bitten by the dogs that I fed.

Here's the part where they insulted our intelligence. There are 3 main reasons for the increase.

1. Raised GST
2. Increased Power Supply Bills
3. Credit & Charge Cards Service Charges

Now, I think that I can't argue about the GST issue, it's a fact...*but 2% of $8.50 is less than $0.20! Failed Maths huh~? As for the other two...*Hehheh~rubbing palms~*, I shall name reason 2 as "cock" & 3 as "bull"!

Following the day when cock was born, our Power Supply announced that we will be seeing a drop on our utilities bills. Hah!!! A big kick in their "cocks", I would say!

As for bull, it's a total "bull-shit"! Why should everybody bear the charges of card users!? On top of that, I'm already paying an extra fee of $0.50 to $1.00 when I purchase tickets by cards! Who the fuck are they tryin' to "cheat"!!??

Haven't these muthafarkers earned enough from their pop corns, nachos & drinks sales. A set of these junk food is more expensive than a ticket! Checkout the prices of these items elsewhere, and you do the maths!

Well, if anyone asked me, being a movie lover, this is a very bad news. But from a society point of view, "It's All Good Baby!". Why? Read on...

Our officials are currently desperate over the fall in birth rates. With the movie ticket price hikes, during their leisure, couples may reduced their frequency for movies at the theater. The best alternative will be to stay home & watch them on DVD/VCDs. As most sporean rooms are equipped with TV & players, they will enjoy it in their privacy. One thing leads to another, they'll be acting up an episode of "Animal Planet - Mating Season" & "BOOM!!!" *shot gun fired~* & *Tadah~* "BABIES"!!! Be it they're teenagers or underage, spore need babies!!!

Secondly, there should be a drop in crime rates such as robbing of ah-mahs, aunties or taxi drivers, as well as drug trafficking & gang fights! Once people choose to stay-in for home entertainments, they'll want all the latest movies. Where else beside "Pirated Disc Shop" can you find these selections. When demand increases, business increases, & more hands will be needed to help run all the "franchised outlets". These hands are the ones that will rob your ah-mah, sell drug to your son & have gang fights infront of your dad's foodstall if they hadn't the secure jobs as "Pirated Disc Shop Managers".

Hmm...talk about piracy...*Hello Shermy! U Mah Fwen! Ha!*

Don't get me wrong peeps! I support Intellectual Properties...until some ass"O"s try to fuck me with their "cock & bull" stories! Keep watchin' till May 01, 2005...
