DOUBLE
THE DANGER, DOUBLE THE FUN
by TV Smith

If you're thrilled by the possibility of getting killed by a speeding
vehicle while dining on the streets, you'll be glad to know of the latest
fad. Enterprising restaurant owners are providing yet another innovation to shorten
your life. A 100-pound projectile might just land on you from the sky, if you're
lucky. Many restaurants are now fitted with giant screens and suspended video
projectors to attract more customers. Regular programming includes the English
Premier League, Formula One races and the Chinese version of "Who Wants To
Be A Millionaire".
It is a wonderful concept for those without
subscription TV at home. A great way to watch a live football match with friends
and untrusting bookies. But has not any one calculated the odds of the flimsy
overhanging 20+ feet long pole holding the projector and housing snapping? The
crashing equipment should make a nice flattened human roti canai out of some poor
football fan or passerby. But then again, it is just another glaring display of
the trademark inconsistency of our local councils. We are not even allowed to
erect an awning or garage shelter half the length of those extensions on the ground
floor of our own homes...
