A Day In The Life Of An Oblivious Ape.: Protest this.

I've been watching the news on the teevee these past few days, and I've fucking got something to say to a certain group of people: the protestors.

Damn fucking right it's serious.

I don't care; be it the pro-Tibet/Beijing Olympics issue or the Myanmar constitution issue.

Yeah, I'm sure it's a serious cause you guys are committed to...

...but don't you people have a freakin' JOB to go back to???

Oh right, you'd rather go PROTEST than earn a freakin' INCOME.

"Hey, Bob. You wanna head down to the protest that's going down across the street? I don't know what they're protesting but it sure looks like it's straight out of 'Girls Gone Wild'..."

"Nah. I have tonnes of paperwork to get to."

"Oh, c'mon Bob...I hear they're giving out free beer at the protest..."

"Beer??? FUCK YEAH, I'LL BE THERE!!!"

Picture this:

- On one hand, you've gone a stable job, that pays you well and regularly, and has a nice pension waiting for you when you turn 50+.

- On the other hand, you're devoting your life to a 'potential' good cause, that's probably gonna get you beat and battered by local police forces, land you in jail AND with a criminal record.

I don't know about you, but in this case, I'd gladly sell out my values for some moolah in the bank.

Although you could call me once those pro-Tibet people actually pay you for what you're doing.

What?

I'm Singaporean.
