Brainwashing

Choo-er Filed Under: Labels:
Radio & television till this day still remain great influencers to mankind. The influence is so great that even a young child is able to retain bits of what they watch or listen to. This is evident as my kids too are being 'brainwashed'.

Example 1 :
While deciding on where to go for dinner one night Cavin, my sister and I were tossing ideas and suggesting restaurants. Cayden too chips in and...

Cayden : Go to Wendy's daddy..... (suggestion gets ignored while we adults were still chatting)

Cayden : Fresh foods made fast... (everyone stunned and dumbfounded)

Me : Huh.....where did you hear that from?

Cayden : GOT (emphasizing that he is right). On the radio.



Example 2 :
Caitlyn could immediately identify the song 'Boom Boom Pow by the Black Eyed Peas' from just the intro of the song. Even before the singing starts she would have muttered out either "Boom Boom Bak" or sometimes "Gotta get..get".



Example 3 :
Everytime when we are out and in the car without fail Caitlyn will be requesting for a Mandarin song which Cayden USED to like (Not anymore tho due to the never ending request from the sister for the song to be played. Poor boy is so sick and tired of the song by now :p ).

The song is Richie Ren's - 對面的女孩看過來 or Dui Mien De Nu Hai Kan Guo Lai (translated as 'Girl Over There, Look Over Here'). Caitlyn will be able to sing a line or two whereas Cayden can sing almost the entire song. The MTV can be viewed @ Richie Ren - Dui Mien De Nu Hai Kan Guo Lai



Example 4 :
The romantic side of Caitlyn and the eye for an interesting commercial.

Caitlyn particularly likes a certain part of the Malaysian version of the Ribena - Lemon Meets Blackcurrant "A Perfect Match" TV commercial.

Briefly about the commercial : It has a very catchy tune which has an overall feel and inclination towards Indian music and movie production. The commercial follows the typical Indian movie plots of two single souls in search of love > boy meets girl > both fall in love > dance around a tree (but there's no tree in this instance but just dancing in a circle. However you would get the drift.)

Caitlyn will always wait for the part where the Blackcurrant runs towards the Lemon. Without fail she will shriek with excitement when the Blackcurrant's hands meets with the Lemon's; just before the pair breaks into a dance :)

The commercial can be viewed @ Ribena "A Perfect Match"
