Darcula Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Truly, a meeting of contrasting personalities. One desses up in gaudy costumes, singing juvenile verses and has practically no fans. The other is a famous idol group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lupatria Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 3 hours ago, webfact said: the group is the Thai sister group of Japan’s idol girl group AKB48 ...or as some say just another Thai copy. And the propaganda stunt will fall short as another lousy copy in comparison with those the mother of all PR stunts, Kim Jong Un, brings on stage. At least here they try to copy the best.

Irresponsible parenting is letting one's daughter get away with playing this bubblegum crap and not cranking up their Judas Priest albums to ten times the volume she is playing her music at by way of response...
