As much as I hate China for their relentless copying of other people's products such as the
Nokla, Dongfeng MPV (BMW), BlueBerry and HiPhone (don't be mistaken, this is not the end, the list goes on forever) and passing it off as their own product, at least they didn't copy someone else's idea for their national day celebration.
Even if you really, really must copy, at least choose a more suitable song to copy. Bad Romance is not exactly a patriotic song. Unless of course, we are suppose to treat the independence of our nation as a, well, bad romance. And that's not all, the organizing committee didn't know they had to apply for permission to change the lyrics of the song, which might land them in trouble with copyright laws. Instead of "didn't know", I believe its more "can't be bothered to check thoroughly".
Sigh. Do we really have no talent to compose a proper song? No doubt this Fun Pack Song is not the theme song for this year's NDP but still, its part of the performance to celebrate our independence. Some national pride is in order.
But WAIT! That's not all!
The Taiwanese media has picked up on this juicy news and criticized the NDP organizing committee for coming up with such a stupid song. I don't blame them for it. Because we really deserve it for doing stupid things.
This makes me wonder, will the Colonel who planned this year's NDP get promoted after August 9th?
