BORED.

boys and girls. this is a message brought to you from MOE.

27 June 2007
Singapore--

A recent statement from the Ministry of Education has everyone partying till the break of day. Just 1 minute ago, it was confirmed by a senior adviser in the Ministry who spoke on condition of anonymity that studying is bad for you! Yes you, put down that bloody textbook right now.

According to MOE, a study was done on the effects of studying on the young, today's students, tomorrow's leaders, the hope of a better age, Auspicium Melioris Aevi. Apparently, due to Singapore's meritocratic society, students have been chasing paper their whole lives. As such, excessive studying has shown to be, contrary to popular belief, bad for one's health. Not only does excessive studying make you look like a potato, fatter and whiter than an Ang Moh, but it also causes some disturbing mental problems.

This reporter has since interviewed a few students to validate this, but sadly, the most they could say was this, "Ahahahahahahahahahahaha.....your hair longer than mine! Book you!" While this reporter failed to get a coherent answer to any of his questions, their answers were proof enough.

Also, economists who have been studying the problem of excessive "mugging" have concurred with MOE's assessment. Studying alone, generates negative externalities, such as excessive noise-making which disturbs the peace, as well as unruly behaviour such as going out of one's way to PISS OTHERS OFF. So if you learnt in school that education was a merit good, you better unlearn that now. But that is studying in itself, so its best if you just knock your collective heads repeatedly on the wall and hope you get amnesia.

The ministry has now dictated certain fast solutions to remedy this acute problem. The spokesman had this to say, "Dota and CS FTW!!!!11!!!11!!"

So boys and girls, I hope you've learnt something today. Screw the CTs, go and play ;)
