Silly News About Prince Charles And Camilla's Wedding
In case you happen to be living under a rock, Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles finally married last Friday, thus effectively ending Prince Charles' run as the world's most eligible bachelor.
I'm not gonna diss Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles' matrimony. What needs to be said have already been said by others. At the end of the day, I have absolutely nothing against a royal 57-year-old donkey-face marrying a 58-year-old husband-snatcher on the day of Pope John Paul II's funeral. Its not like what they do has any effect of me anyway.
What I am gonna diss however is the newspaper reports that cover this wedding, sensationalising it to the point of absurdity. Everyone knows that I'm not a big fan of local Malaysian newspapers. The day newspapers here STOP publishing photos of politicians shaking hands at some bloody pretentious VIP event is the day I'll celebrate by shaving the hair off my legs and cook soup with it.
But this one is just beyond ridiculous. Have a look at this headline from news.com.au.
The original story was from News of the World. In case that link doesn't work, I've mirrored the page here.
An excerpt reads: "We hired professional lip-reading experts who spent two hours decoding exactly what was said as the bride and groom walked down the stone stairs to face photographers."
PROFESSIONAL LIP-READING EXPERTS? I can so imagine a couple of nerds with thick glasses practically glueing their face to the TV monitor for two full hours trying to decode what they're saying.
The entire article focuses on how cold the Queen was towards Camilla based on the following series of captioned photos. I've editted the captions into the pictures for better readability.
Gee, I wonder how much they're paying these so-called "professional lip-reading" experts to write a couple of crappy lines that MAY or MAY NOT be what the royal family said. I mean, who's watching right? For all I know they could be playing Solitaire for two hours before they come up with some smart-arse guesses as to what the royal family was possibly saying.
To steal a quote from William Hung, I have no professional training in lip-reading. But what I can do is spend 2 minutes instead of 2 hours "decoding" what they're trying to say.
See?! The Queen LOVES Camilla Parker-Bowles!
So much for professional lip-readers. How the heck can they simply decide what people are saying just by looking at a video? How do they even know they're speaking English? For all I know, they could be conversing in Hokkien.
Did you look at the way Prince Charles and his mother looked at each other? I swear that's not the way a mother and son would look at each other! I don't know about you but I think there might be something more to their so-called mother-and-son relationship.
Stupid professional lip reading experts - think they know everything, but I know better.

*in hysterical fits over hokkien jokes*
PANG JI LIAP BOMB!

btw NSDS3, the hokkien convo can be loosely translated to [bear some of the direct translations]:
*queen accidentally farted*
Queen: Shy, your mother just let out a bomb of a fart.
Charles: Walau!
Queen: How? Can let out or not? (fart)
Charles: Crazy woman! You want to use poison gas to slay me to death ar??
:: end translation ::
..... but it kinda loses the effect once translated to english, no? =/ or maybe kenny can do a better job of it. ^^

The first two were good, but the 3rd really spoiled it for me...don't think the area of incest is a good one to venture into when it comes to cracking jokes.
But, still had a good laugh especially from the hokkien part. Yours is a daily read for me now.

In an effort to defend (professional) lip-readers....
It is another form of communication, especially for those who are deaf and other than sign language, they do lip-read.
Nevertheless!
It can become a major intrusion of privacy.

Now that these horny bunch of clowns have settled down, perhaps they should start thinking about returning the oil they have stolen from Miri.
And then apologizing for signing Sarawak away to the peninsula.

Wahhh… so many comments. I dunno how to reply all lehhh.
Thanks for promoting this site lah. Glad everyone had a great laugh. At the end of the day I just wanted to make fun of those tabloid newspapers who love to jump to conclusions after observing really really subtle things. Eg. A quick glance = a cold stare. Hands on tummy = pregnant, etc etc.
Apologies for the incest joke. Yea I know its in bad taste, but whatever lah. ;)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
JY, you Singlish-ized yourself ar? Hahaha
Hsin Ee, thanks for the translations. Though “Am Jua? Eh pang boh” actually meant “How? Smells nice or not.” Heh, sorry my Hokkien spelling isn’t that good. I need to attend more Hokkien class.
Debster, I know, but lip-reading is still very much a 50-50 guessing game. I just doubt those so-called professional lip-readers can lip-read from images from a TV monitor, which were shot on a camera several metres away from the actual speakers.
Pope, “And then apologizing for signing Sarawak away to the peninsula.” Waseh! Don’t play play!
Sunny, *hugs*
Wilson, sometimes I just read an article thinking “This is just bloody ridiculous!” Then I thought a bit more about it and it ended up on this blog. :)
TBM, thanks for the concern. I’m ok really, I wasn’t feeling down at all.
fish fish, HEH! When I make my jiao-mao soup, I’ll make sure you or Eddie to be the first one to write a food review about it!

Kenny,
(Okay, I'm just being extra silly) but anyway, isn't that how some people watch the news - by lip-reading off the TV?
Then again... you could be right, very 50-50. Only Charles (pardon me, HRH Charles) would know what he really said.
Anyway, don't mind me... I'm just reading too much off the "issue"... ;)

Hokkien version had me laughing until i spit all over my comp screen!
=P
The incest was jus sick n gross tho..
