Step on it if you dare!

This, of course, is in addition to the acts of severing the head of a certain animal and carrying the same after Friday prayer on a public road while screaming some mantra of sorts.
When I read about the burning of Lim Guan Eng’s posters – and the subsequent obligatory stomping on the same – by some neo-extreme-right-wingers-BTN Nazis, I initially thought that it was some kind of a street performance by the Actor’s Studio of their new play, “The Nasi Beratur Blues”. But I realised I was wrong when I did not see Jit Murad, Joe Kukathas or Patrick Teoh in the pictures.
Then the same act was repeated in Perak. Some neo-extreme-left-wingers-BTN haters started stomping on the pictures of the now famous “frogs”, whose act of jumping from one pond to another, is now the stuffs of legend. And I thought, wow, it is contagious, this stomping business.
Richard Branson, who had recently unveiled the world’s first commercial passenger space shuttle, might just soon unveil the world’s first speciality shoes or boots with the tag line, “these boots are made for stomping”.
