Who Says YOU Got It All?

One of the signs that shows you are wayyyy too bored is when you start blogging more frequently than you should. As the holidays enters the second month, I can slowly feel my mind slipping from the consciousness of reality, whiling the days away. Night becomes day, and day becomes night and the struggle to stay awake in the day time during weekend jobs becomes a chore. Is this what I get for all those late nights during campus days? Well I wouldn't be complaining that much if there was something that I could do to fill my time. But still, holidays is always so much better than stressful work, and while I'm still studying, I'd my as well enjoy the last 6 months of it before entering the cruel world of work and corporate scaling.

Today....was a funky day seeing on how I actually watched to 2 shows in the cinema back to back with some old buddies of mine. Acting like as if money grew on trees, I braved the lame jokes of Superhero Movie and laughed my ass crack open by watching a snail humping a kid that has pheromones sprayed all over him. And after that, it was tomb raiding and whip cracking as Indiana Jones took over the screens. And yes, there is one crazy fetish I like doing and that is watching cinema ads. The beer advertisements, the sneak peaks for upcoming movies, and the occasional hot model spokeswoman speaking memorized lines in the most mesmerizing way.

Then there were the Celcom advertisements. There were so many of them you couldn't help but feel like as if they were trying too hard to compete with the likes of Maxis or Digi. There's the add that shows you the class of the show; whether it was rated U or 18-SG, etc, but the one that really caught my eye was the ad that asked and challenged on who's got the best services to offer among the network companies. They then went on to claim themselves that they have the widest coverage, services, rates and other bullshit that consumers wont usually use. Now that got me thinking...WHO the fuck says YOU got the best services to offer?

Now hear me out on this one. Coverage....tell me one thing. Most mobile phone users are living in urban or suburban areas that has either transmitter towers jutting out everywhere or in flat plane lands where it's easy to receive microwave signals. And unless you are going to the middle of nowhere, which most Malaysians don't, you wouldn't be needing that "extra" coverage now would you? It's not like you are in a war or something. And when people actually do go to the middle of nowhere for holidays and relaxation, they would want to keep their handphones as far away from them as possible. So point taken....you have extra coverage...but who gives a fuck?? As long as my service bar is full anywhere I go in the city, everyone would presume that all the telco companies are equally as strong, and unless there is a sudden holocaust to force everyone into the jungle, Celcom's marketing department can lick my small hairy balls.

Ok second thing, rates. Celcom claims that it gives the best rates in the business for both it's postpaid and prepaid services. Hmmm....now let me see here....a little checking....oh what the fucking hell?!?!?! YOUR WEBSITE IS DOWN?!?!?! What kind of bullshit is that? You claim you have the best, of the best, of the best shit and I cant even access the most basic of your interactive services? Even the shitass of the fat yellow man Digi keeps their web portal updated and serviced all the time. So much for having the best services in town. And judging from the rates that my friends tell me, apparently Celcom is more expensive than other plans like Maxis. Hell even the shitass of the yellow fat man coughs out better deals than this purple retarded pimp. And for prepaid rates, unless you can come up with something better than a RM2.00 talk-all-you-want-for-the-whole-night deal, don't even bother to swindle the public with cheap shit ads that feature punkass wannabe models and lame copycat tunes Timberland mumbled out in his sleep with Keri Hilson.

So really....another thing that really adds salt to the wound is....after all those advertising and promoting and event organizing and road shows nationwide....why is Celcom still number 2 to Maxis. Awww now now now, don't feel bad about it...just so you know, the public isn't that dumb nor gullible anymore these days. Entering an age where marketing is no longer the main selling point of a product or service, it's either your product stands out in quality and integrity or perish in bankruptcy. And for Celcom, all I can say is....the power is in their ass.
