I Amuse Myself With Email Fraudsters

So recently, after the international success of Marlboro Decepticon II (more popularly referred to as "Marlboro Transformer" in Europe), I've been bored and in need of new amusement. So I'm now playing this game I invented myself called "Get the Email Fraudster to Say That He is a Chao Cheebye Failing Which Show Him a Picture of a Large Succulent Penis".

Let me explain. Everyone gets these cock emails from Burkina Faso asking you to claim a ridiculously large sum of money which belonged to some poor yak farmer in Mongolia who inherited it from the 12th Tsar of Russia as he (the farmer) was actually the great-half-grandson of the Tsar but then the farmer died in a skiing accident in Hokkaido and since the sender is the bank administrator of the funds, he needs a foreigner to take control of the funds because of some funny Burkina Fasoan law, the money will be seized by the government if it is unclaimed for more than eight years. Have you wondered what would happen if you replied to these emails? Well I have been replying. My goal is to make one of these email fraudsters write down in an email, "I [insert name of email fraudster] am a chao cheebye". If they don't do it, then I will send them a picture of a big fat penis (Mine actually. It is, after all, the biggest and fattest penis I have ever seen. If you want to see, pls send me an email). It's as simple as that.

Here's an email I got last week:

I'd like to help but I am in Indonesia. Surely I can't be the nearest person to you?
But this guy insists that I am and even sends me an incredibly long email with a form to fill in (it's too long to post here). Then I notice that part of the form is spelled wrongly. So I send him this:

I think there's an error in your application form. "foreign" is spelled wrongly. Please correct it and send it back to me.


thanks.

To my surprise, the guy actually sends me this, attaching the corrected form!:

Hi, I tried calling you but still can't get through after a few days. Actually my requirement is very simple. In my culture, business deals such as this are usually sealed with an affirmation of sincerity. In my language, "chao cheebye" is the highest form of sincere person. I simply require you to send me an email reply to the effect that "I, yusuf musa, affirm that I am a chao cheebye" before we can do business.

I understand that this may seem a little strange but it is important for me as I need something in black and white which I can show my parents who can be quite particular about these traditions.

Thank you very much.

No response. So now there is nothing more left to do than send him a picture of my big juicy lan jiao:

Dear Mr Yusuf,

I am attaching a word document with my bank details. Please help me by sending me the email with your statement. Also, please do not hesitate to let me know if you need anymore information. You can call me at +65-99-90-0983.

Thank you.

Jimmy
And I attached a Word document with a picture of a big lan jiao on it. If he reply, I'll post here.

In the meantime I'm gonna try with other email fraudsters. I hope you all will give it a go too.

Transformers Speak Bahasa Indonesia

Indonesia very steady. Until now still showing the first generation of Transformers cartoons. But luckily these Transformers all go language training before so can speak Indonesian. Check it:



I love the way the voice actors try to inject emotion into the dialogue. Like at the beginning the Decepticon with the falsetto voice goes, "pekerjaan aku seleSAIiiiii!" which translates into "my work is finished!!" But his "selesai" sounds damn cock.

The dialogue at the last part between Megatron and Optimus Prime is classic:

Megatron (to Optimus Prime): Aku akan menguapkanmu!
Translation: I'm gonna to make you steam*!

Prime (sounding constipated): Kau kalah, Megatron.
Translation: You're a loser, Megatron.

Megatron: Begini ya? Dengar, Prime. Kau tidak akan pintar memiliki electroCELLku!
Translation: Like that is it? Listen, Prime. You are not capable enough to get my ElectroCELL!

And then Megatron proceeds to blow up his "Electrocells" which I guess is the Indonesian word for Energon.

Actually, to take it a step further, if, in the above dialogue, you replace "tron" with "wati" and "Prime" with "SBY" and "Electrocell" with "electorate", it sounds like a pretty apt representation of a hypothetical confrontation during Indonesia's 2004 presidential elections.

Actually the best part is when Optimus Prime says, "Autobot! Berubah dan berangkat!" which translates literally into "Autobot! Change and go!" Sounds like your father fuck you when you were a kid, "boy ah! late for school already! Faster change and go ah!"

But too bad by that time my camera run out of memory leh. I try to record some more next time.


* "uap" in Indonesian can be directly translated into "steam".

Marlboro Decepticon and Friends Lai Liao!

Ok I know everybody wait very long. But finally I finish the video liao. Marlboro Decepticon is back! And this time he brought his friends with him...



The Debauchetrons detested the new Decepticon policy
which required them to ad-lib the sound effects to their
transformations so as to sound "more professional".
