I bet Contender Asia never guessed that this would happen to them. They were quick to impose a gag (or otherwise known as embargo) the media journalists that they had invited. The embargo was suppose to last for 12 days till April 24th.
Straits Times writer Tay Yek Keak was obviously not pleased by this arrangement and had shared his views in an impressive article yesterday.
One quick witted blogger found out who the winner was and was quick to shout out to the world on his personal blog.
I.Z. Reloaded said: Everybody, the winner is Thailand’s Yodsanklai Fairtex! Quick, go tell your father, mother, sister, brother, grandpa, grandma, friends and relatives ok.
The traditional media journalists may not be able to say who the winner was but the new media jounalists are spreading it around like mad.
This is why I love New Media.
And yet there are those who feel that the gag should be implemented.
Deadpris mentioned: I recalled a few months ago, when Harry Potter’s latest sequel came out, there were some idiots lurking around the internet shoving Harry Potter spoilers to others that haven’t read Harry Potter yet. Imagine if someone got to read the book 3 months before it was published and the spoilers were published in Newspaper, magazines, and on the internet. Everyone would be damn pissed right?
Which does make sense too. What are your thoughts? Which side of the fence are you on? Do comment!
