Up, Up and Away


Kee's World is a comic strip which reflects the local life - the Durian Life. Today he has very aptly portrayed Mummy + Papa's moaning and groaning since petrol price hike.

Also it has been reported in the local paper - The Star that pricey infant formula have parents substituting their babies with cheaper options like diluted condensed milk, rock sugar water, black coffee and plain tea, to feed their infants and toddlers. http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/6/17/nation/21570029&sec=nation

And then, when you flip to the following page, Tetra Pak is advertising that if you click at their website, every click will help them feed a needy child - a pack of UHT milk will be donated (and they have 100,000 packs to give away ... wow, so generous). How ironic that advertisers are resorting to "noble" ways to bring traffic to their website ? Why can't they just give the milk away without hiding behind the facade of click for a donation thingy ? Such a sham from where I see it !!

Ok, save your money for the next price increase ! huumph ...
