*******************************************************
First of all, we would like to thank you for taking the time from your busy TV schedule writing this letter with great emotion.....[Watch OPRAH (Star TV 1.00pm, Weekdays)].Your valuable feedback is essential in our efforts to provide kuali-T(Watch CHEF's TOUR 10pm Tues Discovery Travel Adventure Ch.) servis to our valued $ub$criber$. (NOTICE: PLEASE PAY LAST MONTHS BILL TO AVOID CANCELATION OF SERVICES, PLEASE IGNORE THIS SENTENCE IF YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE SO)

*PEPSI X**PEPSI LITE**7UP ICE (NEW)*PEPSI TWIST*

Please note that the mere increase of RM5 .....[Watch Louise Rukeyser Sun 7.30am Repeats Sat 9pm]....per month is to cater for the increase in programming profits and lack of content in recent years......(Watch Unsolved History,WED 8pm, Repeats 10 pm,Discovery). It is our commitment to continually improve the kuali-T of programmes and channels that you and your family (WATCH HARRY POTTER 2, PREMIERS 30th MAY only on HBO) can enjoy. We are continuously improving (see definition*)our service level to all our subscribers in order to give you convenience and a wider choice of entertainment (package: MTV,Channel V,StarTV)as well as information(package: Discovery, Animal Planet,NGEO).

**KFC**TOM YAM CHICKEN CRUNCH**KFC**TOM YAM CHICKEN CRUNCH**

Unlike Free-to-air television such as RTM NTV7 TV3, programming on multi-channel pay tv like Astro, is far superior, based on the concept of providing convenience and is totally unique(daily, monthly and annual repeats), thus the additional screenings (a more customer friendly term) will enable you to catch and watch your preferred programmes at your suitable time slots even next year.

**McD**FREE FLOAT**WITH EVERY BIG MAC LARGE HAPPY MEAL**FREE FLOAT**

We assure you that this principle is not only practiced religiously in Malaysia (SEE LONELY PLANET GUIDE, Travel & Adventure Ch.) but all subscription television operators around the world follow this cult.We will continue to provide setbacks with the help of our international program providers and we will try to improve our service on our vernacular channels (FREE WITH a minimum 3 MINI PACKAGES ORDER NOW!!!!) in order to give you a wider choice of entertainment(TRY ASTRO @ PLAY TODAY!!!!)as well as new information (NEWS PACKAGE: CNN, CNBC, AL Jazeera,BBC).

**HOTLINK**SMS PLAN<>TALK PLAN**HOTLINK**

In response to your query with regards to the rain outage, you may experience slight interruptions (Watch Tech TV)during bad weather or heavy downfall...(CNN WEATHER REPORT).... This has been an on-going phenomenon to satellite or Direct-to-User TV services using KU-band transmission ...(Watch Generation E, CNBC)....in high rainfall countries like Malaysia....(Watch Discovery and Travel Adv. Ch.)....However, we are continually fine-tuning to ensure that the best of broadcast services are provided to you at all times.

**GET YOUR 2nd DECODER and PAY Half IT's Subscription RATE**exclusive of RM5**

Advertising commercial(PEPSI,KFC,CITIBANK) and on-air promos(Maxis HOTLINK PREPAID)... are always part of Pay-TV monkey business.Please note that our pay TV license issued by the Malaysian Government allow us to monopolize and carry TV commercials and sponsorships. By having programme sponsors and TV commercials, we will be able to bring better quality programmes to the homes such as Golf, Cricket, Boxing and Wrestling(WWE JUDGEMENT DAY, ORDER NOW!!!).

*CITIBANK**MNI INSURANCE**FREE PETROL***RENEW YOUR CREDIT CARD WITH US NOW*

We at Astro are currently complying with the requirements of the Government where advertising commercials in Astro channels are within the guideline set by the Government and Kadir Sheik Fadzir. However, rest assured, your comments and feedback are indeed valuable and adds a new dimension (the TWILIGHT ZONE ONLY ON HBO) to the underpaid research and consumer surveys which we regularly conduct. This help us put together our programming for our viewers.

A Blizzard of Oooze Adaptation ( Kurang Asam's Movie theather)

Coming Soon : Adaptation from The Blizzard of Oooze

Badawi In "One Man's Land" (closest it ryhmes with Wonderland)


Starring :Abdullah "i'm trying 2 be Good" Badawi as mAlice

His Three Side Kicks:
:Maha "i'm still not" Thir as the the Heartless Tin Can
:Ka "it's a tai koh" Ting as the Cowardly Lion
:Sammy "i ain't that" Vellue as the Brainless Scare Crow

Part 1: The Jello Brick Wall

How much farther?" asked the Cowardly Ka ting. He was so exhausted he had to ask his henchmen to hold up his tail. They were paid by the hour, anyway!

Badawi stopped so abruptly that the The Heartless Tin Can Mahathir, nearly bumped into him. Considering he was already hollow inside, it would not hurt Badawi. He gave the lion a withering glare and Cursed the Tin Can as well, "How the hell would I know? It's not like I'm from around here, you know."

"But we'll get to Oooze, yes?" The Heartless Tin Can Mahathir rattled as he spoke. He needed a good oiling, as he was, way past rusty by now....and all the brake oil from Proton (nor Petronas) did not help, one bit.

Not at this rate, Badawi sighed. He knew he should have done this on his own, although it had seemed like a good idea during election time.

He certainly didn't know his way around this strange corrupted land even with the Jello Brick Wall to guide him. They certainly needed his help and at least, and he had some companionship.

But this kind of companionship was not what he had bargained on. "Yes. Oooze has to be close by now." I sure hope it is. "Let's keep crawling or we'll never get there."

"Which way?" the the Brainless Scarecrow Samy asked and Badawi pointed "The road less travelled"

Badawi gritted his teeth. He had never realized traveling with each one lacking a brain, a heart and a set of b*lls respectively, would be so tiresome.

"Since we came from the south of the border, and Oooze wasn't there, it would only make sense to go north up Thailand, wouldn't it?"

"I suppose," the Brainless Scarecrow Samy said, although the expression on his face was a testimony, he had no clue what he was getting into....

(More Cast in Development. Any suggestions are Welcome.Drop some below)

PEPSI X (X stands for too Xtreme for people like Abdul Kadir)

Interlude
Among the rarity in Cabinet , lies a guy who stands out from the crowd with his bow tie. His stupidity can only be matched to that of Samy Vellue. So it seems, the competition for cabinet clown is tough this year, wuth a super size cabinet and all.

This Satire is His Take On the Pepsi Promo (ala Gladiator) and What he would like to be changed.Btw, he should use "VEET" for his legs and go for a photoshoot somewhere........Kurang Asam suggest Timbaktu.....never to return to civilization.

"To bare or not to bare, that's a stupid Question" poet Asam (Sat-A-Lite)

Malaysia threatens to withdraw licences of private satellite operators over "risque" programming and advertisements. The sight of international pop stars Britney Spears, Beyonce and Pink in scantily-lad costumes in a PEPSI Commercial is proving to be too much for the Malaysian Cabinet.- NSTP ......Those horny bananas Image Hosted by ImageShack.usgets turned on by anything these days.(click the titillating title to see all)

Minister Of Propaganda,Datuk Paduka Abdul Kadir Sheikh Fadzir did not spell out what exactly was considered obscene Image Hosted by ImageShack.us, as he was already having trouble with the other language . Rojak is not his favourite dish, so too is PEPSI.

Do not go overboard.Image Hosted by ImageShack.us We will just withdraw the licence if necessary,' he was quoted

'We don't intend to restrict your freedom Image Hosted by ImageShack.us but it should not be abused,' he warned the stations, adding that they should have a little self-restraint Image Hosted by ImageShack.us when it came to such matters.

I guess, he confessed it himselfImage Hosted by ImageShack.us (see the bold words).


I Guess, We have every right then, to revoke our Ministers's licence when they go overboard too. What say you, "Mr Idiot Box" Abdul Kadir? Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
