I was a local TV advertisement where a few footballers kicked around a ball around the city on building tops with devastating effect. Each time the ball hit the wall, there was cracks, broken windows, smashed concrete and finally one powerful kick brings down an entire skyscraper building.

Wow! 

I never liked football but this ad doesn't make me a fan either. I always thought that there are too

many football fans that are fanatical. They get too much into the 'spirit' of supporting their team going as far as fighting and injuring fans of the opposing team.

 What is the message this ad is trying to convey?

Footballers are cool because they can bring down buildings with their football ?

Sheikh Mustafa Shukor Al Masrie, 32, the brother of Angkasawan Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor, died at 6pm yesterday at Universiti Malaya Medical Centre here without regaining consciousness since going into a coma last Sunday after falling and hitting his head in a restaurant in Taman Desa.

Fate is indeed cruel. Condolences to the family.

After seeing how people in Mumbai commute by train, I guess I can complain less about how I feel like a sardine on our Putra LRT every morning :)
