OK I'm going to rant now.
Why? Because I'm quite high today after finishing drama. Booyah! And also, I scrapped my knee during my drama performance, so the stinging red patch on my knee is sort of giving me a kick in the arse to say something.
But the main reason why I wanna rant is because a certain group in Malaysia is TRYING TO
BAN MICHAEL LEARNS TO ROCK from performing in Malaysia.
MICHAEL LEARNS TO ROCK, okay.... Ban the Pussycat Dolls, I can understand (even though I don't agree to any banning of concerts), but MLTR?!?!?!?!??
Honestly, I can see no reason to ban Michael Learns To Rock. They're like legends of love songs, not promoters of satanism and sexy clothes (not that I mean satan wears sexy clothes of course).
Like come on....
They're certain things in Malaysia that I don't agree to, but I can understand why they happen.
For instance,

I don't agree with the level of enthuasiasm at this rally, but maybe it was a hot day and the people there were too tired to show their support. I understand.

I totally disagree with a Chinese guy with a belly in slacks playing an electric guitar, but heck maybe it's his dream to be a rock star. I understand.

I totally oppose that dude's someone-just-poked-my-hips-and-pulled-my-scrotum face on that cover, but it's probably a marketing strategy to sell more books. I UNDERSTAND.
Ok, I'm feeling a little lazy to continue explaining further cases, but here's a few more examples of stuff that I think shouldn't be banned in Malaysia but can understand why they are. You probably can work out the issue I'm talking about.


If your IQ is that of a baboon or you're Chay Ann, I'll give you a hint: the pictures are dealing with the same issue. Oh, btw, if you're reading this....What's up Chay Ann? :) haha how's life? lol
Ok, back to the main point. If My Chemical Romance was allowed to perform in Malaysia, I can not, I repeat, can not not not not not not not see a reason why Michael Learns To Rock can't.

I mean, those people who oppose MLTR performing probably can set some performance rules for them like they did for Linkin Park, but I doubt MLTR can even come close to breaking any of them (except rule number 1. Hell, I break rule number 1 every day of my life in Malaysia).
So let's try putting MLTR through the Linkin Park rule checklist.
Rule Number 1:
NO WEARING SHORT PANTS TO PERFORM. ALL PANTS MUST COVER THE LEGS FULLY.
Rule Number 2:
NO SCREAMING. (lolllll??? I wonder how Linkin Park abided this rule)

Rule Number 3:
NO JUMPING. (yeah statue rock concert!)

Rule Number 4:
NO RUDE GESTURES

In my opinion, rule number 4 is pretty reasonable, but I would still prefer no rules to be placed at all. And as a matter of interest, if me and any of my friends were to form a band that sings love songs, I think we'll probably be in jail getting rotan lashes right now.
Neways, except for rule number 1, I think MLTR can easily obey every other rule even if they have voice amplifiers implanted into their throats and springs attached to their shoes.
So my final and obvious verdict:
JUST LET MLTR PLAY IN MALAYSIA LAR. doink
Alright done. Ranting mode over. Sleeping mode on.
buhbye
