Post subject: Bensports onscreen editorial

I saw this on BenSports while watching the other night, and wanted to know if Satellite TV, as a Director of this company, agrees with the comments. I left the spelling/grammatical errors as they were onscreen.
____________________________________________________________

Mother,
The world laughed at you for being backward;
The world was full of envy and anxiety when you opened up and progressed into a financial powerhouse;
The world condemned you when you put law and order into the upheaval and lawlessness created by followers of a self proclaimed Robin Hood in t¡bet but failed to applaud when you used your influence to save the lives of Burmese monks;
The world threatened to boycott and disrupt the August Olympics on ground of your violations of human rights standards set by the West who by apartheid policies and discrimination of coloured people blatantly violated for ages the same standards set.
Let me tell you Mother as a dragon seed brought up outside China;
They fear you Mother as you out compete them;
They fear you Mother as you are set to replace them at the healm of world order faster than they can accept;
They fear you Mother as you refused to take sides in every international dispute as you believe that to each his own and from each his best;
They fear you Mother as you have by hardwork hastened the failure and decadence of self assumed western supremecy system;
And finally for the period 12th May to eternity, you have shown the world the tenderness, love and care of the best guardian government and leaders the Chinese People can ever have contrasting greatly with the aftermath of the Florida and Burmese cyclone.
Mother, words of praises and admiration will never come from the West as they have painted you falsely as a hardcore monster with no feelings for your own for too long and the Western World is watching with total disbelief on CNN, BBC, Fox Media, live, the search, rescue, care and rebuilding operations to restore life and normalcy into the millions of displaced victims led by brothers Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao demonstrating love care and simplicity with no political agenda whatsoever.
Mother, we whether in or out of the Great Wall are lucky and proud to be descendants of the ever Supreme Dragon.

Amen
Mr. Ben Chairman/CEO Bensports Satellite TV May 2008

Whether or not I agree with them is irrelevant. Laughing

They are the CEO's words it is his mesage.

Any issues about the message you can write to the CEO. Wink

He is Ethnically Chinese so perhaps he has a different view point than you or I. Such is life.

Maybe you want to thank him for his message Idea

It is a bit amateurish of late some of the things that are happening.

The worst is that bloody advert for Lisboa casino that comes on mid program. Usually on CNN in the middle of a story.

A bit weird when their target market is Foreigners in China to have that Mother crap and this Lisboa rubbish on.

Poor English, but the message seems to be directed at the powers that be here in China. Certainly makes sense if he's trying to make good with the gov't here for more legal access as disconbob states. As for the target, its not really offensive, just strange so it won't lose them any customers. Besides, not many choices out there yet.

Indeed his viewpoint (from deep inside Mother's arse) is quite different than mine...thank him for quite an entertaining message!

Not only foreigners watch Dream TV. Stanley Ho paid quite a lot to run that add. It is from his team and Dream TV just airs it.

Many Chinese gamblers go and stay in the Grand Lisbao in Macau.

Expect to see live poker broadcast on the satellite TV channels in the future. There may even be an Asian Poker Tour playoff broadcast live. Very Happy

I find it offensive. The message is xenophobic, paranoid and untrue.

Ironically I can see his motives in this message as addressed above..

Even more ironically I think the people that this is addressed to won't..

They'll be shots of Baijui and back slapping all round!

Followed by the the creation of more Chinese racists, some of whom will no doubt follow Ben TV's example and 'take the message to the evil foreigners'. In years to come they will export their xenophobic, intolerant and violent ways to whatever foreign countries allow them in as students, visitors, and immigrants.

My immgration and education busness has sent many to NZ OZ and Canada. Not that Kiwis are not the only xenophobic intolerant and violant people to deal with incoming migrants anyway.

Don't put that mantle on us thanks al the same.

You can always change channels if you don't like what you see.

Didn't say you wouldn't be, only that enough to the target market will just figure its a load of crap and the benefits he probably gets from it are political so... its a calculated risk i am sure.
