Let's Do The News! (September 18, 2013)

Richard: Anyway, the news and while on the subject of GTAV right now since it's already out now worldwide, I heard that those fans are struggling to get one right now and oh! There's a report saying there was one chap who got attacked and got his game stolen near the supermarket. No kidding! It's true!

(audience laughing)

Jeremy: So you're saying is that there was once a chap in London who was attacked after he left a store in north London just an hour and twenty minutes after the notoriously violent video game went on sale? Wow, no wonder the most notoriously violent video game we know as Grand Theft Auto V is so notoriously violent, there are idiots wanted to steal one of those for their liking.

James: Yeah, that's a game worth stealing and guess we're in a middle of PSA here about GTAV because here's a tip, be careful when you're buying a game on a release date because there are crooks everyone who are going...well, knock you unconscious with, what the reports say, a brick, get stabbed, and have all of your belongings as well as your newly bought game stripped out for good. Ouch...

Jeremy: Yeah, that's gotta hurt indeed. Take our advice if you don't want to be wind off like this poor chap who lost his eagerly awaited GTAV game.

Richard: So, uh...are you willing to buy one?

James: Well, no.

Richard: Oh...what about you?

Jeremy: Only if it's a little bit convincing.

(audience laughing)

Jeremy: Oh, anyway, there's some more grueling news indeed because...you know the Navy Yard shootings happened in Washington DC? Well, that's quite unexpected for such a...what?

(audience murmuring)

Jeremy: Thanks for explaining about that. Anyway, back to the whole Navy Yard shooting spree, I wonder what motivates this maniac into killing people in the Navy Yard?

Richard: I dunno but hey, the story behind the culprit who got gunned down by the cops has something to do with a little backstory.

Jeremy: Backstory? Don't laugh people. Don't laugh, please. We're in a middle of a very serious concern. I' mean what's more serious than the brutal killings happened in the past year? You know, the Virginia Tech shooting, than last year's Dark Knight Rises brutal killings at some theater in Colorado, and also last year's Sandy Hook killings. Anyone remembered those? Hope so because you know those "NEVER FORGET" stuff mentioned?

(audience laughing)

Jeremy: I SAID NO LAUGHING! THIS IS SERIOUS! OKAY?!

James: Sheesh, don't get all tension for this. Anyway, backstories. Few weeks before the rampage at the Navy Yard, he heard voices and said that there were people sending vibrations through the ceiling to keep him from sleeping from his room somewhere in Marriott hotel. Guess there are some psychological issues for this guy here.

Jeremy: By psychological, any details.

James: The cops reported that he was being followed and worried that the people were going to hurt him.

Jeremy: I'm sorry, what? There were people going to hurt him?

James: (nods head)

Jeremy: Ah...no wonder such psychological issues prompted him to kill 12 innocent people at the Navy Yard. Which reminds me, who are those people who were killed by the mass shooter?

James: Well, due to security concerns, I can't tell the names. I'm sorry.

Jeremy: Oh...

Richard: Oh wait! Some reports said that guns are not to blame for what it's known to be the 5th mass shooting in 2013 in America. Some say...it's video games.

Jeremy: I'm sorry, what?

Richard: Some say it's video games, which are clearly killing people every day in mass shootings. And yes, there goes the whole gun and video game debates, just like in Connecticut regarding the whole regulations and restrictions yada yada yada...

 Jeremy: So, who's to blame in all those mass shootings? Video games or real guns? Well, it may be a strong debate worth arguing about but since the jury's still out, feel free to debate on those because we may never know which is to blame.

Richard: Speaking of which, bad news regarding this because there's a message from Disney regarding the whole Doc McStuffins Mobile Clinic tour. Here's the memo from Disney to everyone, would you like me to read what it says?

Jeremy: Well, go on then. What's it saying?

Richard: It says...(ahem):

"Due to the ongoing police investigation in the Washington DC Navy Yard area, the Disney Junior "Doc McStuffins' Doc Mobile" visit scheduled for Tuesday 9/17 has been cancelled. We regret the disappointment this causes our young guests and their parents. We hope to reschedule in the future and will update you as soon as possible. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of the senseless events that occurred today."

Richard: That's a message for parents everywhere who are living in Washington right now regarding this whole incident. Like as they said, they're apologizing for their inconvenience.

Jeremy: Thank you very much for saying that. Now, moving on to the new Datsun brand because now, they've launched the second model of the new Datsun lineup somewhere in Indonesia. Here it is...

Datsun Go+

James: What was that?

Richard: No freaking way! That's way too hideous!

Jeremy: I don't know what that car is but apparently it's an MPV based on the first ever Datsun model which started life as a Nissan March/Micra K13. It's got a 1.2L petrol engine mated with a 6-speed manual gearbox. Well, that pretty much sums it up then.

Richard: Yeah, there's no need to explain that because that thing's too hideous to look at!

(audience laughing)

Jeremy: Tickle's Teaser, ladies and gents because...Daihatsu teases next-generation Tanto and here's some of the teasers just for the warmup before early October reveal...

2014 Daihatsu Tanto teaser

James: Well, I had to say, it's a good job they've retained the Tanto's trademark pillarless door on the passenger side though but question is...do you think it will have the Radar Support system like what the Daihatsu Move had as well as the improved e:S technology in it?

Jeremy: Yes.

James: Do you think it's going to be more fuel efficient than the Suzuki Spacia, its main rival for the 2014 Tanto?

Jeremy: That, we're going to find out next month. Fingers crossed because it will still spark the whole Suzuki vs. Daihatsu debacle. Can't believe this year that Suzuki launched newer models this year like the facelifted Swift, the new Spacia, the Spacia Custom, the MR Wagon Wit, the all new Carry truck...what's next for Suzuki?

(audience laughing)

James: Beats me...we don't know what's next for this.

(audience laughing)

Jeremy: Thank you very much. He he he...Anyway, that is the end of the news, folks!
