Well, this week's strip isn't meant to be funny... (in case any of you don't get it! 
) It's more of an awareness of the power of media...and that they should think twice before airing anything.
Recently, I saw a local coffee commercial on the
and I felt it was rather distasteful. It was meant to be funny but it really wasn't. The commercial shows a man drinking coffee 
and suddenly realises that an angry mob is after him (presumably some gangsters wanting to collect a loan? 
) So the guy splashes his hot coffee on the mob. Upon tasting the delicious coffee on their faces the mob started to sing and dance (yes, Saturday night fever style 
)... and the man also dances with them. 
That commercial reminded me of a news report sometime last week or so about a man throwing acid at several ppl in the mall.
I remember watching the scene of two ladies with their faces covered with a mask (I think alkaline masks~ looks like those you use for facial!) and being wheeled into an ambulance. Imagine the damage on their faces...
Just imagine a child watching the commercial earlier and thinks it's alright to throw hot coffee on ppl's face... Hot coffee that can cause burns and scars for life...
