Astro, the monopoly cable tv company in Malaysia announced that they are going to increase the subscription rate by 15% on 1st June 2007. Fine, as long as quality programs are aired.

I have grown immune to the fact that Astro programs are infested with advertisements, repeats and more advertisements. They are the monopoly, if you don’t watch Astro, you watch government controlled TV stations and believe me they sucks even worse.

There’s this new channel 78 on Astro, where there’s alot of nice and interesting programs about cars, fishing and all things macho. Have enjoyed it so much over the last one week or so. Finally, a channel I can watch day in day out. Much to my horror, I found out yesterday that the most of the programs on channel 78 are outdated, mostly are from the year 2002-2003.

I could watch outdated National Geographic programs but I just cannot accept a 2002 car as the latest model.

Shove it up your ass, Astro!
