Why I'm a dork

I just can't stop.


I've been sick for almost a week now, and it's just getting worse. My fever is rising, my coughing keeps the upstairs neighbors from getting sleep, and my doctor suspects that I have pneumonia. And what am I doing, you ask?

I'm reading Malaysian newspapers.

Did you know that the official opposition leader, who is getting pretty popular with people is being accused of sodomizing his aide, by his aide?

And the fun doesn't just stop there... it's like a friggin soap opera. Here's the run down:

Characters:

Anwar Ibrahim: The opposition --- played by Morgan Freeman
Saiful Bahari: The 23 year old Aide accusing him of these acts--- played by that white snivelling skinny kid thats always the weird criminal in those crime shows
Abdulah Badawi: The current prime minister--- played by Jim Carrey ( I have no reason for this, neither logical or comical)


Setting:

Malaysia.
Muslim Country
60% Malay majority who are pretty much favored in every respect. Jobs, university admission....so on....

Plot:

So awhile back, Anwar (Freeman) was all into politics and what not when someone randomly accused him of sodomy...for which he got 15 years in prison since it's illegal in Malaysia. He still maintains his innocence... as does his wife. This guy had major supporters and tens of thousands of people took to the streets in a major upset.

Now, on the eve of a new election, where it actually looks like Anwar is going to take a vast majority away from the current PM, Badawi (carrey), all of a sudden his former Aide (skinny white kid), who happens to be MALAY (the ethnic group that has the most to lose if he is elected) is accusing him of forcing it up his ....ummm......... well yes.

Also interestingly, the first doctor to examine him says that there was nothing, nor has there ever been anything up that aides bum. Interesting indeed. No one can find this doctor anymore and a second opinion has been sought.
Furthermore, the PM is getting pretty vocal about seeking justice for the aide.......

really? Seriously? Last time I checked, it takes two to participate in bum sex, and yes of course there is rape....... but I dunno, maybe it's my background in forensic psychology, but it just seems unlikely that a senior politician would force himself on his young aide, whom he has to work with every day in the media spotlight. If he WAS going to participate in a sodomatic act with someone, it would be with someone that he trusted, had convinced to trust him (if he were indeed a predator and not just an in the closet gay male)....

I just find the image of Anwar forcefully bending his aide over a boardroom table, sodomizing him (Which is NOT a pleasant experience when someone is unwilling... therefore is NOT a quiet experience), while all the other aides and secretaries went about their daily routine out in the office.
No one called Lewinsky a victim of sexual harassment.


I smell a rat........

Well back to the land of the undead for me... aka, my bed.

KK.




FYI
The term sodomy refers to the homosexual activities of men in the story of the city of Sodom in the Bible. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah because of their residents' immorality became a central part of Western attitudes toward forms of non-procreative sexual activity and same-sex relations. ***************

******* Actually... Sodom and Gomorrah was a Hebrew folktale about hospitality. People just interpret it in a modern context, which is where this idea comes from.
