"Crazes never end in Vietnam & they will keep chasing blindly for things that is not important in their life & always overlook/neglect/ involve their near & dear ones with mishap/losses/debt in their endeavor. Nothing is so prestigious/glamorous/assume & look good to others in life & what's the point of showing??? Eventually the show will end & with full of debts to settle!!!"

"Let's hold a memorial service for all of those who couldn't get their hands on the newest iPhone. The greatest tragedy of the 21st century. A candlelight vigil will be held soon, let's all go and pay our respects."
