Fingering Scarlet to Turn Her On

I'm sure most of you have seen the tv adverts of LG's hit new series of LCD tvs aptly named "Scarlet". So what do we know about scarlet? First off it's a new high tech tv, capable of sensing the surrounding ambient lights and adjusting the color and brightness of the screen accordingly. Besides this, what else do we know? Why did the designers call it "SCARLET?"

Well one thing is for sure, The Scarlet series has a striking appearance, utilising a bright red design which will appeal to viewers who want a TV that is attractive to look at as well as to watch. What else? Well after seeing this tv in person, I can tell you, Scarlet is an all round sexy bomb shell. The Koreans have certainly done their homework. Hahaha why did i come to this conclusion? Because the majority of their target audiences are male?

Let me ask you. How do u normally turn on a tv? By remote or by pressing a button on the TV itself right? So let me ask you again. How do you turn on a scarlet tv? Well for one, you can turn it on via remote. Besides that?

As you can see, the image above shows the front end of the Scarlet Tv. In the middle, we see a "round aperture surrounded by LED lights". Hahaha still not getting it? Well this, ladies and gentlemen is how you turn the Tv "Scarlet" on besides using the remote.
"You stick your finger into the hole, and rub the sides in a circular motion." Yes you heard it right people, you stick your finger into the hole, and rub the sides in a circular motion. Still don't get it? Well let me spell it out for you.

"YOU FINGER SCARLET TO TURN HER ON"

HAH! Koreans! Effing Geniuses!

Random Citation

Yawns, just another weekend flown by and followed by another week to come. Did me some random reading and came across a real witty post which I'll just feature here =3

p/s - no harm intended as it is just for reading pleasure, you be the judge of it ;)


When girls don't put out!!
This was written by a guy ... it's pretty damn smart.

Girls -- Please have a sense of humor!

I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart.

FOR EXAMPLE:

One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, 'I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me.'

I said, 'WHAT??!! What was that?!'

So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear...

'You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man.'

She responded to my puzzled look by saying, 'Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?'

Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.

The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which one to take, so I told her we'd just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said, 'Lets get a pair for each outfit.'

We went on to the jewelry department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings. Let me tell you... she was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis.

I think I threw her for a loop when I said, 'That's fine, honey.' She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation, she finally said, 'I think this is all
dear, let's go to the cashier.'

I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, 'No honey, I don't feel like it.'

Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled, 'WHAT?'

I then said, 'Honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman.'

And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, 'Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?'

Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either....but at least that bitch knows I'm smarter than her.

A Tribute To The Best Vol.2

So, after much thought and consideration, I've decided to make "A Tribute To The Best" my trademark post in response to Old Turtle's "Entertainment Weekly" and Ah Beng Turtle's "A Slice of Life".

Today, I'm going to touch on a subject - quite a sensitive one, at that - that's been niggling at the depths of my mind for quite some time now.

This post is dedicated as a tribute to an actor who played a role so well that people had trouble differentiating between character and actor. It is dedicated to a family man, a father, a brother, a son and an outstanding actor who wow-ed fans and movie lovers all over the world with his masterclass of a performance in one of his last movies (The Dark Knight) before his passing - as the reincarnation of Batman's ultimate arch nemesis, The Joker.


This post is dedicated to Heath Ledger and The Joker.

Now, I'm pretty sure that one of the first things that came to mind when you saw that picture was probably something along the lines of,

"Why...so...serious?"

Or, "Let's put a smiiiile on THAT face!"

Right?

Now, I won't lie to you, I had my doubts when he was initially announced as Jack Nicholson's replacement as Batman's arch-nemesis in Christopher Nolan's Batman series. But after watching it last month - twice in a day, mind you - I've come down to the conclusion that no other man could've nailed this role any better. There's no denying that in spite of his excellent showing as a gay cowboy in Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain (a role which won him an Academy award for Best Actor) that THIS was an absolute virtuoso of a performance from the talented Australian.

"Why...so...serious?"

His performance not only impressed the neutrals and fans but also captivated the hearts of the more diehard Batman fans. His free reign in creating the character (Nolan had given him the freedom to create most of what we saw in the movie) had given us the opportunity to see a more dark and sinister Joker as opposed to the comical one portrayed by Jack Nicholson in 1989.

Now, that's not saying Jack Nicholson did a bad job as The Joker.

That's just saying that Heath Ledger simply did it to perfection.

"Welcome to a world without rules..."

The Joker that he created has given us a side of the villain that most of us - meaning the non-comic Batman fan - had never seen. The ominous aura of chaos and insanity gave us the perspective of Joker as a super-psychotic genius whose true purpose was to inflict chaos and destruction on Gotham city and, naturally, to generally make Batman's life a living hell.

Would The Dark Knight have done as well as it did in the box office without Heath Ledger as The Joker? I seriously doubt it. Heath's death might have propelled the ratings a tad bit but I personally feel that he singlehandedly made this film what it is today - a masterclass. I mean, Christian Bale's a great actor and all that but, c'mon - you gotta' be lying to yourself if you said you watched The Dark Knight to see Bale in action. I think I speak for most of us when I say that we watched the movie to see Heath Ledger as The Joker.

So instead of discussing the talented man's cause of death on some random discussion board on Facebook like we personally knew him, I think we should just salute the man for his outstanding ability to enthrall and entertain us with his performances. The only regret we should have is that we no longer have the chance to watch him perform.

Because he was, if any term was suitable to go by his greatness - one of a kind.

R.I.P Heath Ledger (1979-2008)

Rest in Peace, Heath. You'll always be remembered.
