Local English Media Roundup

If this is already in another thread somewhere, but I'm gonna place it just as a point of reference.
My opinion regarding a particular section; a conversation between myself and a friend,
Friend: "Whatdaya think about the khmer440 part?"
Me: "It's something Paul would say...about the shitheel thing, but I don't think he actually would say it. It's a fully blown racist comment."
Is my opnion.

OzirC, why is the "shitheel" comment a racist comment?
As for the blogpost, that was an entertaining read, feeding on journos' gossips, which can be trusted to be the juiciest.

..."“We’ve accepted an offer for the sale of #K440 and the sale should be completed by the end of July,” owner Peter Hogan tweeted on July 19th. “One good thing about the sale is that the new owner will be an expat in #Cambodia not a short fat shitheel in based in Saudi,” he added cryptically."
Maybe I'm high but that could be construed as racist about Saudis... Due to the erroneous writing.

Still lost.
Is 'shitheel' racist in some version of English? I don't know the meaning of this word (beyond the obvious not nice sound to it), and Google is unenlightening.

I didn't want to post that quote. But it was the only way of getting my point across without being weird and finding out your number and calling you up about it.

You obviously are not aware of some stuff that happened, so you'll just have to take my word for it.
That was not aimed at Saudi people. That was referring to an American person relocating in Saudi Arabia. Yes, it's a disgraceful comment, but it's not a racist comment.
Although taken out of context, it can understandbly be misconstrued as such.

Oh dear...
The words "in based in". If that was a direct quote from tweet then it should have been phrased (sic). Otherwise in based was typed in error. Never mind the word Shitheel. It's not even on the agenda.

What? no! I'm just a lambda poster who just happened to be rather anal about getting facts and things straight
I thought the reference to a former sexpat site making great progress towards rehabilitation was . . well . cute.
Having said that, I lost all respect for PenhPal when the guy running it quizzed me in a coffee shop in BKK1 cafe about why I was here, and I fed him all sorts of misinformation about the place I worked which he reported verbatim a few days later, and couldn't have made a bigger arse of himself if he tried. His article is pinned on many of my colleague's offices as an exercise in how NOT to do journalism.
I was having a beer with a promiment 440er last night. He made the point that there is no site around in Cambodia that comes into its own more than when important news stories are developing and the likes of Andy, Felgergarb, LTO and jm are posting information, pics, tweets etc to give real time information informed by decades of experience.
It's not for no reason that CD, PPP etc get so much material from us and long may it continue.

He was a good deal braver than the Post and Daily when he took on a certain shaven-headed Antipodean thug, and I respect him for that. Otherwise, he comes across as a bit of a window licker - on the outside looking in and wanting so much to be part of a PP journo clique that studiously avoid him.scobienz wrote:Having said that, I lost all respect for PenhPal when the guy running it quizzed me in a coffee shop in BKK1 cafe about why I was here, and I fed him all sorts of misinformation about the place I worked which he reported verbatim a few days later, and couldn't have made a bigger arse of himself if he tried.

He's also way off with the sex pat reference. We were a lot of things in the 2000s but we were never a sexpat site.
