awesome English

Its a Saturday and i've decided to stay home and do some internet marketing and chill from a whole entire week of stress. I realized i haven't watched TV...especially Astro for a freaking long time so i decided to flip through all the boring channels and came to Asian Food Channel. After 'Chef at Home' which is awesome by the way, 'Ho Chiak' came on. These 2 chinese host was presenting a restaurant and their recommendations in Mandarin. It was nice watching it UNTIL THEY DECIDED TO SPEAK ENGLISH.

Now, if you can't speak proper English, PLEASE do not embarrass everyone. Usually we will blame the Script Writers for the grammar mistakes and of course the producers and directors.. but this time i blame those two idiotic host. Do they think speaking very very broken English on INTERNATIONAL TV is alright? It's freaking horrible. Listen to this.. 'i catch this fish to you' .. in exact accent 'i casht tis fist to hyu' .. the pronunciation is HORRIBLE enough yet they have to add in horrible GRAMMAR.

First the word 'catch' is obviously wrong. Its past tense. You don't hold up a plate of steam fish and use the word 'catch' because its freaking 'caught'. Second, i catch this fish TO you? TO? seriously? I suggest this fellow go back to nursery. Worst part is this other chic has to correct him with her also very horrible English 'weii not To arr... its For' and all the guy can say is 'oops...For you' ... I seriously feel like calling up the damn producer and ask him why on earth he cast two idiots on International TV with horrible English. If you wanna be on the Broadcasting field make sure you are fluent in the language you are speaking. You can feel free to speak the language you are comfortable in. And if you want to speak English make sure your grammar is correct and please get your accent right. We do not care about your SLANG but ACCENT is very important. For example if you can't pronounce Fish properly, DONT EVEN SAY THE WORD if you're gonna pronounce it as FIST. But if you have a chinese slang, go ahead and speak English with that genuine slang....DON'T FAKE YOUR SLANG AND PRETEND LIKE YOU'RE A BLOODY BRITISH OR AMERICAN...that's the WORST anyone can get.

I personally blame the producer for not considering the image of the television program, production and all the crew and i also blame those two idiots for embarrassing all of us. Please get your language and facts right before considering entering the Broadcasting industry.
