IDIOTIC THINGS PEOPLE SAY #1

“Kami merasa sulit menulis dalam bahasa Indonesia. Bukannya mau gaya, tapi hanya orang-orang cerdas yang bisa menghasilkan lirik dalam bahasa Indonesia dan jadinya bagus, tidak norak, atau klise.” (Goodbye Electric, area, Juli 2007, p. 12.)

what a bunch of cunts. so it assumes two things: one, that one doesn’t have to be “orang cerdas” supaya “bisa menghasilkan lirik dalam bahasa [Inggris yang] jadinya bagus, tidak norak, atau klise” and two, that they no doubt “bisa menghasilkan lirik dalam bahasa [Inggris yang] jadinya bagus, tidak norak, atau klise.” fuck you. “what about distance, around me, the distance, around you?” distance around? educate yourself, you twats. get adidas to endorse you a fuckin dictionary. or better still, shoot yourself in the head. or is that on?

(and i was obviously wrong to think it’s the sole prerogative of indo selebritas and TK dian harapan toddlers to answer “merasa sulit menulis dalam bahasa indonesia”, when pressed to explain why they seem to live in a parallel universe where the language consists entirely of  MTV sound bites, eg,  “like”, “like”, “like, you know”. you actually just have to be a fuckwit.)
