Who will rap MDA for their (c)rap?
The Singapore government has made a few attempts to stay hip and cool. By shouldn’t they know that by forcing themselves to stay hip and cool just for one activity isn’t hip and cool.
They tried the Hip Hop routine earlier this year. Now, the Media Development Authority (MDA) has come up their MDA Senior Management Rap to show they are hip and cool with new media.
Unfortunately, hip and cool they arn’t wrote some bloggers.
Kevin Lim, for theory.isthereason.com, says the rap is “disturbia bad; the makes-me-ashamed-to-be-Singaporean kind of bad“.
DK, for decayonnet.blogspot.com, wrote the rap “is not suitable for anyone below the age of 21 23. Contains some disturbing scenes”.
The MDA rap also started off on a bad footing. The authorities decided to stream it off their own website at www.mda.gov.sg.
“The video’s so popular, the original site takes ages to load,” wrote Tym of Tym blogs too.
Yeap, the rap has become so popular it has been YouTubed.
Speaking of YouTube, around 54 minutes of the rap, it seemed like the producers of this music video ripped off the entire YouTube layout design and replaced it with the MDA logo. Talked about being HIP.
The most disturbing scene of the entire rap would be that of Man Shu Sam, director of broadcast and film, acting as the Godfather of MDA and pointing a gun to a film maker as if he was trying to say “if you don’t do a film according to my wishes, I will shoot you!”.
In the rap (around two minutes of it), Man raps he knows good directors at the back of his hands with two good directors nodding in agreement to what Man is say. Only Yes-man directors need apply?
The silhouette of Man shaking his bum bum to the tune of the Twist deserves an RA rating for the rap.
The saving grace of the entire rap would be the appearance of Cassandra Tay, director of communications for MDA, at 2mins 30sec of the rap and 1 minute later in the rap. Comm chicks are hot and I wouldn’t be surprised if she appeared on Singapore Daily Chio Bu of the day.
So if you want to torture yourself with the MDA rap, the YouTube version of it is below.
Torture yourself silly:
