YLB #10 - Are Millennials SOFT & is Kim Kardashian’s new “Kimono” line pure evil or genius?

If you’re born after 1982, YOU ARE SOFT. Or at least that’s how a bunch of Facebook comments responded to a recent commentary published by TODAY newspaper on today’s youth and their anxieties over job prospects and the value of degrees, if any. But are millennials really “soft” or are older generations the deluded ones? Elsewhere, Kim Kardashian is getting tons of backlash for calling her new line of shapewear “Kimono” and even trying to trademark the name. Is she that clueless, or is she a genius? ‘Cos didn’t someone once say that “all publicity is good publicity”? Our "One Shiok Things" for this week!

YLB #9 - Narelle Kheng's Post About “Sudan vs Notre Dame” & Another (Political) Gay Sex Video Leaks from Malaysia

If you care more about the NOTRE DAME collapse than the current crisis in SUDAN, are you an ASSHOLE? A recent post about “selective empathy” by Naralle Kheng (from The Sam Willows) made us curious. Speaking of curious incidents, the third gay sex video apparently involving a politician leaks from Malaysia. In the age of DeepFakes and Face Swap filters, do our neighbours think this is still a good way to take down politicians? In any case, what’s happening now in Sudan is HORRIBLE. And everyone should know about it and help in any way possible. Here are some links to get you started: Help Sudan!  How to help Sudan: 7 things you can do right now for a country in crisis https://www.fastcompany.com/90363335/sudan-massacre-how-to-help-7-things-from-gofundme-to-unicef  How to Help Sudan: A Country In Crisis http://www.papermag.com/how-to-help-sudan-2638804259.html  As Sudan Faces Political Upheaval & A Food Crisis, Here’s How To Help https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2019/06/235515/sudan-political-food-crisis-how-to-help   Our "One Shiok Things" for this week!

YLB #8 - A SG Teacher Sexually Assaults Her Underage Student & A Malaysian Singer “Kidnaps” a Bear

A Singaporean teacher has sexual relations with her 15-year male student and some netizens ridiculously celebrate the boy’s “conquest”. We discuss why that’s nothing but a f***ed symptom of “toxic masculinity” that could screw him up for life. We also try to understand the Malaysian singer who was caught keeping a sun bear cub in her house illegally after mistaking it for puppy (yes, a “dog”). Oh, and it was apparently malnourished because she didn’t feed it well either. Bleah. Our "One Shiok Things" for this week!

YLB #7 - Our genius solution to stop “chope-ing” culture, and why grading on a curve could prepare you for life

The “Anti-Chope-ing Movement” was in the news lately and a recent poll showed Singaporeans to be split 50-50 on the topic. We debate the whole thing and come up with a brilliant way to stop it. We also cover the “bogus” SMU Professor who gave all 169 of his students “A” grades after becoming sick of grading them on a curve. Our "One Shiok Things" for this week!

YLB #6 - The cost of the keeping mum & dad alive, and Singapore’s first public “shooting”?

What would YOU pay to keep your mum & dad alive when old, plus SG's first drive-by “shooting”. We cover a much-debated study on the costs for elderly Singaporeans to have a "basic standard of living" (which includes "needs" like bluetooth speaker, annual holidays, etc.) and a local man who made headlines around the world after he got fined SGD300 for "littering" when he shot 2 rubber bands into the air on the way to his car.

YLB #5 - Tosh Zhang cries over Pink Dot drama, and say hello to an escort service for Singapore "influencers"

We cover Tosh Zhang's dramatic week and whether he needed to cry on video, before checking out Maybe.sg, a dodgy (and horribly-designed) website that offers 2-hour "dates" with Influencer-esque people for $60-$200 per date.
