Dotards

For this ill-informed,"Dotard" is yet another word ive discovered over the years,one of those classy curses you can throw at people with the lack of enough cursing vocabularies in their minds.

Anyway,"Dotard" merely means a person in a state of dotage,which also means a person esperiencing a deterioration of mental faculties.Going mad,becoming stupid,retard.Basically.

Anyway,it is a strange word indeed,to use as the topic of this entry.However,i must stress that the usage of such a word is totally justified,in today's context.

"In today's context?",you must be asking.Oh well,let me begin my explanation with a little story.

So,i was having lunch in camp with my friends as the television blared above our heads.Usually,i wouldnt take too much attention on whatever they show,since it is most of the time Channel 8 trash,or Channel U waste.Anyway,so my eyes came upon an advertisement for some show on that night,right?And it was some talent show(What a surprise),with the contestants who got kicked out in the first round,coming back for a second chance.Why?Because they were just too dam awful,and that the guys at mediacorp just wants to make as much money out of these schmucks as possible.But anyway,so the advertisement had the usual funny scenes,which included horrendous people singing horrendous songs,horrendously.Or,some joker dancing to stupid music worst than the sound of finger nails over chalkboards.What a surprise,it was for me to see Steven Lim being one of those losers dancing away in a strange superhero like outfit and a lame-ass dance move.

Okay,so here's what i had in mind the moment the advertisement ended.

So just what the fuck were you guys thinking?

Seriously,look at yourself on television.Look again,then again with some sense.Now,what do you think about your performance.Was it really worthy of you,taking a cab,MRT,a car down to the audition to waste the judge's time,to waste everybody's bloody time?

Look,by presenting yourself on television you have a responsibilty.The whole nation is watching your every move,listening to your every word,and most of all judging you as a person.You dont present yourself on the national stage and make a fool out of yourself by dancing hysterically,singing absolutely out of tune,saying something extremely stupid just to make your fifteen minutes of fame.Yes,the studios are probably going to bring you back on one of those "Specials" shows.But if you think about it,they are making use of you to make more money,to make fun of you because you looked so damn fucking stupid on television.So where the fuck was your pride when you went up in front of those judges and...well,did whatever you've done?

I wanted to smash the television then.I really did.I saw Steven Lim once on Orchard,and he was in a tight pink top and jeans.For some reason he was distributing flyers outside of Tangs,and at that time he was just a lunatic.Now,he is a stripping,and stupid lunatic.If you happen to read this Steven,my words are never going get past those muscles,those thick skin and most of all,the thick skull of yours.Perhaps my words are too sophisticated for you,or perhaps the word "Swine" or "Dotard" doesnt ring a bell.To make things a hell lot easier for you,i shall just sum up my thoughts in one single phrase,involving an internationally recognised word.

Go fuck yourself.

Goodnight,and good luck with your ever growing fame in stupidity.Loser.
