ESPN Asia FAM logo howler

In an embarassing mistake that can be considered amateurish, ESPN Asia’s weekly broadcast “Sportscenter Asia” displayed a parodied logo of FAM (Football Association of Malaysia) instead of the official version last Wednesday. The logo was displayed during a live telephone call to FAM secretary-general Datuk Azzuddin Ahmad.

This was the logo that was shown.

Notice the sad looking tiger with one of the back leg bandaged. Even the name was not spared, it was changed from “Bolasepak” (Football) to “Kenasepak” (Kicked at).

As reported by Utusan, it could be the staff at Sportscenter Asia was looking for a logo and searched for it through Google Images since FAM website is still under construction (yes, to think that the league is still on-going, their website has been constructed for months).

I tried the search for FAM logo myself and only found this small logo while the large but fake logo can be found on 2 websites (and they’re bigger too).

FAM Logo

ESPN Singapore office has since apologized to FAM over the incident but personally, I think this serve FAM just right since they don’t seem to care about providing league information through their website. Heh you try to find league results at 11pm - your best source would be Asia-based the betting sites.

And with Malaysia’s world ranking lower than countries ravaged with war, FAM can seriously consider using this as their official logo.

Now if only someone managed to record the show and post it up at youtube, it would make this blog entry perfect.

Frankenstallone

Heh - frankenstallone.. that’s my name for Frankenstein + Stallone… or maybe Stallroids and that’s for Stallone + Steroids.

Why you might ask? Check out these pictures of Rambo/Rocky when he was in Italy earlier this month.

Okay now let’s take a closer look at his veins.

I guess whatever he’s taking, he’s taking it for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner - and a midnight “romp”.

PM - can I label him a liar?


Yikes - why can’t he just say “no comment” when the press asked him yesterday? Our journalists are so papparazzi that they will follow him to the toilet that made him tell a lie?

Maybe he’s too fed-up with the many previous reports on the dissolution that he wants to teach the media a lesson - righttttt… so an outright lie will make them believe you the next time.

I know lah no big issue but still.. he’s our PM for crying out loud! Anyway, parliament dissolved.. yeay.. clap clap.. now let the slanging match and empty promises begin! Opps no, wait till nomination day…

I don’t know what to expect when they will paint my nails on election day - I hope they don’t use blue - it doesn’t look good on me!

Crazy Hawaii Chair

Hahaha. Can you really work with your ass making 360 degrees every microsecond? I think my code will get thousands of syntax errors if I work on this gadget.

Not sure if there’s already any lawsuit from people spilling their hot coffee on their laps while using this “exercise” machine.

Cute Valentine’s Day gift - it’s free too

Scratching your head and no idea what to give to your significant other tomorrow? Well here’s a poor man’s version of a cute gift - it’s a screensaver of a pug cleaning by licking your monitor screen from the inside. Fortunately the cuteness overwhelmed the grossness.

Well you have to see the video file to really see the cuteness of this pug licking your screen. I think I saw an ad on the tv the other day about these lickers - the other versions include kittens and they’re for mobile phones. But you have to pay for them.

Anyway, this one’s free. You can download the swf file, avi file or the screensaver (altenate link). I suggest you get the screensaver!
