Just a thought
Yo peeps for such a long time that i do not update my blog and this is due to my lazinees and also lack of idea on how to blog (mostly due to my laziness). Now is the time of World Cup 2010 that held at South Afrika, everyone is enjoying the game shouting and supporting their team. It is indeed very happy to watch at all those exciting matches but does anybody really think from which TV channel all those matches are broadcasting from?? The answer is Super Sport channel on ASTRO, what does that mean??
It mean that if you are a poor man that does not have the money to install ASTRO in their house you cannot watch live telecast and also enjoy the atmosphere of world cup. Although free public TV station does indeed have some live broadcast but not all the matches have live telecast and only selected few matches that all those free public TV station have broadcasting rights.
Due to the high cost of world cup live telecast free public TV station need sponsors to sponsored so that live telecast is possible and this bring us back to the gold old days of cigarette company and alcoholic drinks company sponsoring. During the good old days we can watch EPL live matches on free public TV station and whatever live sports matches. Ever after since our government banned all these company from even appering in our TV and gone with all those live telecast that is sponsor from them and now we can only rely on ASTRO and this is also if you afford to have an ASTRO installed.
I am not a supporter or excessive smoking or drinking but it make me wonder how do banning alcoholic and cigarette advertisment on TV will deter people from smoking and drinking,people will find way to do this and the best example is drugs. Everyone know drugs is a no no but some people just can bring in illegal drugs and also there people willing to do drugs eventhough this is illegal and even dangerous. My opinion is if government want to banned those companies advertisment on TV it is fine but world cup is only held once in every 4 years and why government just give temperory permission to those cig and alcoholic drink company to sponsor some live telecast so that all people can enjoy the happiness of world cup.
