Tabloids featured, sensationalize sex stories to help sales
Jul 23, 2009 General
I was in Farley today, kinda bored waiting for my wife doing her usual shopping, I went to buy couple of local dailies, then, I’d usually walk straight to the other end of the supermarket reading them while having an ABC special (Air Batu Campur special or blended ice drink).
Farley ABC, is my favorite. I dare say it is probably the best in town – served in a big bowl, (sometimes feel it wasn’t big enough) and the taste is simply superb.
But today, there was something that caught my attention while at the news and magazine corner. On one of the shelves – there were about five different Malay tabloids and three of them splashing sex stories on their front pages!
I picked up one of them and quickly glanced through a story about a paralyzed husband having extraordinary energy for sex. I know what you’re thinking now.
Anyway, I didn’t read the whole story. Come on! Do you really believe it. I have not known anyone, particularly a Muslim lady willing to share her intimate husband-wife stories with me, what more with a tabloid newspaper.
It is merely a ploy by these tabloids to coax certain people to part with their hard earned RM2.80 for over sensationalize, made up, to some extent merely crap stories.
But they care nothing about that, after all, that’s how these tabloids make money. Sex sells right? Otherwise, why do you think advertisers often used beautiful, sexy, scantily clad women to promote their products?
