KFC's Ole Pocketful Unboxing

You guys might be familiar with the 'unboxing' concept, it's basically just the writer unboxing something and showed what's inside that stuff to the readers.

Kentucky Fried Chicken Malaysia had recently launched a new tasty treat called Ole Pocketful,  not so new cos' it's actually a pocket shaped version of the ridiculously french bread shaped KFC Twister and the have released the same thing way back when with an even ridiculous name - Banditto Pockett ! Back in 2010 the same thing is released but with a lightly boring name, Toasted Pocketful.

"Yes that's double 't' and you think I'm kidding"

Recently, I have a chance to taste the so-called new Ole Pocketful in my local KFC which of course, paid all by myself. I bought the combo which includes Mountain Dew and Wedges, also, with every purchase of the combo you get to buy a die-cast mini Mini Cooper car for MYR5 and the car is also included with a signatu... nope! you only get the mini car, nothing else.

"WARNING: This ad is deceiving"

Then I took a few pictures from my Ole Pocketful experience.

"Nice package"

Notice how in the ad above, the chicken, the chips, the sauce and everything inside the tortilla bread are like struggling to get out as if the pocket is so full of everything, well KFC is 'full' of it ! See it for yourself...

"UNBELIEVABLE !!!"

Ugh, instead of getting what shown in the ad, I got a pocketful (more like half pocketful!) of this with a burnt pita bread. So, an ad is an ad they wanted to attract you and to escape from getting complaint letter from customer they stick a little warning - "Serving and items featured are for illustration purpose only", well they should add "Don't expect the real thing to be close to this"

So I put the thing in my mouth and it actually taste good especially the combination of the sauce and the pineapple bits with the Colonel's chicken.

There it is, my Ole Pocketful unboxing, the good thing about this is this item is unique to KFC because there are no other fast food outlet that offer this thing unless you go to some sort of Mexican restaurant which I doubt its existence. The bad thing... well, I've said it in the whole post. I was trying to take some picture of the things inside the 'pocketful' but the KFC crew were starting to notice my behavior, you know that I don't like being noticed in public.

 "The pocket from different angle, nope still not 'pocketful' to me"

P/S: The Spanish people (err... Spaniard, Spainian, never mind) say Ole ! when they suceed in doing something.

MALAYSIA'S UNDER ATTACK

Due to the popularity of this issue I decided not to blog about it because it's already everywhere but I changed my mind after the news anchor in a local news show deliver a community message that stated hacking is a serious legal issue and at that time I was like "OMG, this is going too far already and I should blog about it !" and also my application in a government website has been denied and I blamed the hackers !

For those who's been living under the rock for some reason, Malaysia has been under attack (cyber attack actually) by hackers who called themselves as Anonymous.

It started with this video, which is a warning about the cyber attack on malaysia.gov.my on 15 June...

 
"I know you wanna press play but DON'T !!!"

Anonymous are targeting government websites because of the banning of several website such as The Pirate Bay and WikiLeaks by the government.

This image is also used by the group as a propaganda;

If you think the image above is familiar that's because that is actually a character from V for Vendetta, the character called V wanted to destroy the totalitarian government. One of the skill possessed by this character is guess what - yes, computer hacking.

For your information the Anonymous group is a web group famously known for their government hacking skill. They even have a Twitter account where they will announced their next target. Some of the members have been arrested in Spain and Turkey and even India.

Malaysia was not mentioned in their tweet but the group itself have no fixed, should I say headquarters and they're freaking everywhere, so some people can used the name of Anonymous to do their deeds but who cares because anyone can be Anonymous. Investigation in Malaysia shows that the hacking is done locally.

So far this topic is still hot, so when do this hacking stop? Will Malaysia give what the hackers wanted? What action will the hackers do if the government didn't submit to their request? Will it be a real life Die Hard 4 event? The answer is...

ANOTHER MOVIE ABOUT TALKING ANIMALS

This July (or August in Malaysia) another movie about talking animals called 'The Zookeeper' starring Kevin James of The King Of Queens sitcom will be released.

The synopsis from IMDb says;

The animals at one particular zoo decide to break their code of silence in order to help their lovable zookeeper gain the attention of one particular woman.

From the trailer, the animals from the zoo sort of becoming 'The Hitch' ( oh yes, Kevin James is in this movie too, he's the dude who learn from Will Smith on how to kiss) and they decided to guide him to win the heart of the girl using animal instinct. Hopefully there's a lesson to be learned from this movie.

If the story about talking animal and their relationship with a zookeeper sounds familiar it's because last year Malaysia produced a movie called 'Zoo'. The concept is similar but the plot is different actually.

IT'S A DESKTOP THAT YOU CAN PUT ON YOUR LAP !

Most people preferred to use notebook a.k.a. laptop because you can use it without having to buy a desk and on a couch while you relaxing in the evening, but when it comes to the best performance desktop is undeniably the right choice. Imagine mashing up the ability of a laptop and desktop...

McDonald Is Having A 'Seriously' Issue

Nope, that's not a grammatical error, if you guys have been an avid Twitter user you guys might have stumbled upon this particular picture . . .

Via Yahoo! News
Yes, let me summarize the picture; MCDONALD F**KIN' HATE BLACKS !

According to Yahoo! News people have been accusing McDonald for being racist right after the picture was widely circulated. People believed that the fast food chain had been using this $1.50 fee for being black as an insurance due to recent robbery strings.

The phrase 'Seriously McDonald' had been used by internet users to captioned the picture.

And then, just like the story of the lesbian Syrian gay girl aka Aminah Abdallah this picture was proved to be a hoax but it was too late and the damage is already done and McDonald was already in deep shit.

The origin of the pic is currently unknown but it was actually released years before in a now moved anti-McD blog. However some people who was familiar with the number posted on the picture (800-225-5532) knew that the picture was hoax because that number is actually belongs to Kentucky Fried Chicken and this also indicates that those people also eat a lot of Colonel Chicken.

The moral of the story is don't just simply believe anything that was posted on the internet without searching for proof first like one time when people posted a picture of an innocent priest who was accused to be some sort of . . . OK, let's stop here before I put myself in deep shit.

Who Will Win Akademi Fantasia 9 ?

After 2 year hiatus, finally I've got the chance to watch the final season of Akademi Fantasia before it goes off air for good.

I started to watch it in the 8th week of the show where only 5 contestants were left in the running, so am I impressed with the remaining 5, hmm... not really, but based on the two concerts left before the final I think the winner is already predictable.

Of course, on the 9th week, another student, Erul was eliminated.

So, among the remaining four, who will be the last winner of Akademi Fantasia ?

# 4 Azri 
Via mygosip
I decided to put Azri in this position because looking at the voting result pattern he always end up at the bottom, As stated by Dato' Siti Nurhaliza, he has the best deep male voice she ever heard which according to my ear is so-so, but there are reasons to keep this fella in the glass house because of his personality and good looking (he might not be the best looking fella but if you look at the other guys then you'll agree with me). Adlin Aman Ramli decision to make him take his shirt off in public might be the reason why he advanced to the final :-)

#3 Lena
Via mygosip
She sounds like Stacy (from AF 6 fame) ! She might have some attitude problem which explained her near elimination on week 8. Before Hazama and Fina admission to AF, Lena had always been on the top spot and that indicates the existence of her strong supporters and even after that she managed to stay on the Top 3 position but her performance from week to week is spiraling down, but given the number of voters she got I think this girl will definitely get in the Top 3 spot (or maybe runner up, except for Season 1, Season 6 and Season 7, Sabahan always managed to get the No.2 spot)

#2 Fina
This girl is so popular and I don't know why (mainly because I didn't watched the show), she managed to stay in the top spot and even got the immunity votes which secured her place in the final. She kinda reminded me to previous AF student, Edlin, because of her voice. I think she can survive the industry because she is fresh and she can maybe be another AF student turned spokesperson.

Winner: Hazama
Via shilanatasha
I feel betrayed when he got in AF 9 because he was already an established artiste and even work for several programs organized by astro. I think the producer decided to put him in the competition for rating. He is undeniably the best performer in the bunch but given his experience in the show biz that will not be as impressive. However, looking at his performance, popularity, votes and the comments from the jury, Hazama will definitely going to get the title, but does winning AF gave you a guaranteed success in the industry? I doubt that :-)
