Of Beyonce, Siti Nurhaliza, Fella-doing-a-Horatio and Cunning-linguist?

It is absurd that we have Malaysians dressing up as sexy or even sexier than Beyonce walking in the streets but we want to impose dress code for Beyonce to perform in Malaysia.
It is absurd that compromise means we are expected to get lesser deal, a watered down version of Beyonce. Instead of Beyonce as Beyonce, you have Beyonce dressing up as Siti Nurhaliza. Or is it Siti Nurhaliza playing Beyonce? I’m confused.
Compromise is a must for we are living in a diverse, complicated and overly sensitised society. But in my opinion, compromise should be made among parties who have disputes over a deal, not the deal itself. The original deal must be remained unchanged. The trick here is to let people to be free to make their informed choice, based on their level of acceptance, cultural and religious beliefs, sensitivities whatever.
The right decision is to let Beyonce performs as Beyonce as long as she is not breaking the laws and as far as I know, dressing provocatively, being sexy and shaking your booty is not a crime in this country, yet.
So, spare the moral teachings, cultural sensitivities and your creative definitions of ‘provocative’ and ’sexy’ to yourself because those things are subjective. It is ridiculous and unwise to impose something which is subjective in nature, for many of us do not share the same set of beliefs.
As for the conservatives – allow me to call them the anal retentive bunch (only in my worthless opinion) – they are free to make their voices heard and let them preach to their supporters or convert non believers. They should stay away from the concert together with those who believe in their cause but shouldn’t disrupt the concert itself from going on. They can boycott the concert by all means, just let people choose freely whether to join them or not.
As for those who bend on enjoying their worldly pleasures – the hedonistic hell seekers (again, only in my worthless opinion) – they are free to enjoy the performance by the sexy, provocatively dressed, booty shaking Beyonce. No judgement should be made against them for going to the concert, because it’s their own choice to make. It is interesting to note, personal choice is becoming extinct in this country.
By this arrangement, the anal retentive bunch will be happy because they are allowed to voice out their displeasures over the act and together with their followers staying away from this unhealthy distraction and getting their faith intact. The hedonistic hell seekers also happy because they are closer to hell now. Beyonce is happy because she doesn’t have to dress up like Siti Nurhaliza. Everyone is happy, isn’t that what we want?
You know what else is absurd in this country? It is a crime to have fellatio but somehow it is not to have cunnilingus. Read on Section 377A of the Penal Code. Wait, fellatio what? Fella doing a Horatio? Cunnilingus what? Cunning-linguist? Well, fellatio – blowjob. Cunnilingus – dining at the V. Still don’t get it?
Blowjob – The stimulation of the penis using the lips, tongue and inside of the mouth, either as a prelude to further sexual activity or as a means of inducing orgasm and ejaculation directly. Dining at the V – an antonym of blowjob, in this case the act of oral stimulation is performed on the clitoris or vulva of the female.
I am sorry, I may have shaken your faith there with my overly detailed descriptions but I already tried my best to make it sounds as scientific and boring as it can be. Stop imagining things now! *snapping fingers*
Welcome to Malaysia, where absurdity is overrated.
ps: I don’t quite get the crotch hugging swimsuit ‘dress’ that many female artists wearing to perform lately. You guys sure have noticed Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Shakira, Beyonce, Madonna wearing it.
Fugly piece of clothing. Too much focus on the camel toe, erk. Especially when these women move in a BIG way. *shudders*
