  RIP, My Favourite Weekend Companion...:-(

Masuk ni, genap la 2 minggu aku tak baca Weekend Mail. Sebabnya?
Keluaran 4-5 November 2006 nih…

Seperti juga Galaxie, aku dah baca Weekend Mail sejak awal 90-an lagi. Masa tu namanya Malay Mail / Sunday Mail masing2 untuk hari Sabtu dan Ahad. Tak pernah miss, sebab it’s kinda like a tabloid. Even kalau aku balik kampung pun, ayah aku tetap akan belikan aku senaskhah sebab dia tahu, aku suka baca paper ni. Sejak imejnya bertukar menjadi Weekend Mail ni, aku rasa ia lebih seronok dibaca dengan kertas yang lebih berkualiti, tapi pada harga yang sama (kinda like reading someone’s blog, i.e Amir Hafizi, Fly Guy & Fabes, etc), cuma aku kurang senang dengan feature terbarunya iaitu Campus Babe (awek2 student yang seksi2). I dunno why they kept pushing the envelope by publishing the said issue on sex (you’re asking for it, man!); you have to admit, media Malaysia tak sesuai untuk benda2 mcm ni.

Tapi ada sesuatu yg buat aku mcm tak puas hati, iaitu komen TPM tentang Weekend Mail, something in the line of “Diorang tak sepatutnya siarkan artikel2 macam tu. Sekarang ni, apa yang orang tak tau pun dah jadi tau.”

I beg your pardon Sir, tapi bukankah ITU matlamat education? Memberitahu kepada yang tak tahu?

My fave feature in that issue ~ elaborate terms about sex, siap dengan maknanya sekali. You learn something new every day!

I’m definitely gonna keep this paper as a memento.

R.I.P, my beloved weekend companion, at least for now. I’ll miss you. :(

Zack!! I'm gonna start reading them from this weekend onwards!!!
 
Allo kawan, ni sure tak baca paper nih. Weekend Mail dah diberhentikan penerbitannya (oleh KDN kot) sebab isu sex ni la. Aku harap2 temporary.
 
Dah lama aku tak beli Weekend Mail, sbb aku prefer Star. Tapi nak dijadikan cerita 4 Nov aritu Star kat kedai mamak bwh apartment aku dah habis. So aku pun beli Weekend Mail tu. Hehe. Dah boleh jadi collectors item. Aku simpan paper tu..

Tapi kalau nak diikutkan, isu sex yg dikeluarkan dlm weekend Mail 4 Nov tu setaraf dgn majalah FHM aja. Dan diaorang buat legitimate survey tentang sex among Malaysians. Aku rasa takda la mcm risque sangat topik tu. Maybe some of the pictures not suitable for newspaper kot.

But nevertheless it's information. so what's wrong with that?
 
Dah tentu ni dunia moralis, Edd. Kita ni numpang jo.
 
Moralis? Ah, bayangkan kalau media Malaysia ni dipenuhi oleh Akmal Abdullahs instead of Amir Hafizis... tak dapat aku bayangkan!
 
oh well... sex education is still a taboo for those Malaysians. information is information but sex tu way out of the league, bagi diorang lah.
 
TPM cakap macam tu? TPM yg baru dapat menantu tiri tu ker? Masa dengar berita yg Weekend Mail ni kena suspended, housemate aku boleh cakap, kan diorg dah publish issue ni, macam mana nak tarik balik? Aku rasa dia ingatkan kita kena bagi balik suratkhabar tu kat KDN kot?! Hahaha... rupa2nya tarik balik utk the next-next issue..
 
Mensh, ada TPM lain meh? Dia la tuh...

menantu tiri? Pandai kau....:)
 
that issue sudah sold-out lah! beriye-iye je aku suruh yatt tanyakan kat opis dia. leceh betui. tapi aku rasa byk lagi mags lain yg lebih direct.heh..mcm2 la.
btw, ed malay mail tu dulu ed fhm kan? haha..no wonder lah.
 
btw, honestly, aku rasa malaymail/sunday mail sucks nowadays! takyah baca pun tak rugi (except that issue lah..haha). habis sume good music columns kena cantas. sigh.
