Sensationalism takkan ke mana...

Penetrasi ataupun penetration. Meh la baca dulu headline kat The Star yang baru published last few days.

Friday October 15, 2010
Saiful suffered 'things-i-dare-not-mention' penetration, say doctors.

Sunday October 17, 2010
'Things-i-purposely-don't-want-to-mention' penetration expected to soar, says Ongkili.

Apakah penetrasi ataupun penetration? No need la kot for me to explain in details. Ha? Apa? Nak suruh buat demo sekali??? Err takpe2, muntah ijo plak sekor2 kang. But since kita tengah bercakap tentang penetrasi, I'll just post some of the info dari Wikipilantakladia (erkkk? betui kah spelling nye begitu?)

Penetration may refer to:

1. Penetration depth of light or any electromagnetic radiation.
2. Penetrating trauma
3. Sexual penetration
4. Market penetration, the degree to which a product or service is known and/or used
5. Penetration (telecommunications)
6. Penetration (warfare)
7. Penetration (weapons), the ability to pierce the target's armor or other protection
8. In magic, an illusion in which one object appears to pass through another
9. In basketball, the ability of a player to drive through the opposing defense
10. In roofing, pipes, conduits, HVAC supports passing through the roof.

Some of you may wonder, apekejadahnya la tetibe plak leh cakap pasal penetrasi nie. Sebenarnya takde ape pun. Last few days masa aku tengah dok baca paper, most of the muka depan surat2 khabar bertarikh 15hb Oktober berkisar tentang kes liwat (eeek!) Anwar dengan Saiful. Aduyai, kot ya pun tak payah la sampai nak jadikan tajuk2 utama korang tue dengan tajuk yang tak molek nak dengar.

Muka depan The Star ok lagi la coz' they were talking about the incoming 2011 Budget. Nie sampaikan tangan nak capai paper pun aku lemah. Rasa nak muntah pun ada. Apa benefit la kalau korang nak letak besar2 kat situ "Saiful Dakwa Diliwat Tanpa Guna Kondom"(???). Keep in mind that aku tengah merujuk kepada majoriti suratkhabar2 berbahasa Melayu. Baik Utusan, Harian Metro ataupun Kosmo.

Ya, aku faham 'sensationalism' nie penting dalam nak menjual...jual apa2 la. But why can't you refrain from something yang boleh membuatkan "ewww-that-is-so-gross" kind of reaction. Stick to the fact yes tapi janganlah sampai terpampang sebegitu rupa (baca balik la sendiri mende alah tadi).

And while we're at this, korang baca headline kat atas tue and better still, prepare lah pada situasi2 yang mungkin akan memeningkan khasnya untuk para cikgu2, bapak2, ibu2 ke kalau2 anak korang, anak murid korang ke dok tanya..."Cikgu!!! Penetration tue aper???!!!". So, baiklah korang standby dengan beberapa fakta2 yang sopan :)
