Lego is a tool to practice (hone) creativity. Lego itself does not teach creativity.

Whether society accepts creativity, it's there. It's always there, in one form or another.

Creativity can be used in arts, or in military, or even in crime.

Put it in another way, if the society doesn't accept creativity "legally", creativity will then be channeled to boost illegal activities

That is one way of looking at it.

Another way of looking at creativity is the "Ah huh!" moment. Somehow, somewhere, buried deep somewhere, is a gem of idea that makes the problem solves itself. Creativity by itself is illusive, you know it's there some where, but you can't captured it for display.

But I seriously doubt there is a systematic way of "creating / nurturing" creativity.

The ads on TV are designed specifically for their targeted audiences.

If the targetted audience is creative, they will design the ad with a lot of creative juice, but if the audience can not handle creativity, he would never understand the meaning of that creative ad, and the vendor will end up losing money on the ad campaign.

That says much for the type of audience Malaysians generally are, doesn't it?

Some of the ads are ok, like the (paper boy falls in love with paper girl) from Streamyx and the (falling giant red phones crushing the poor boss) from Digi are okay.

The rest are run-of-the-mill "comparison" category (Dynamo liquid detergent, Nespray milk powder, Dove shampoo); the "not-knowing-what-they-are-selling" category (Panadol "horrible", Fab "what too much") among others.

But the worst part are the shows on tv nowadays. All trash !

Like who cares what they do in "The Gladiators", and who cares which b!tch wins the "super model" contract, and the so brainless "real life low life" series like the one with Paris Hilton and then the one from that black female designer and that hip-hop singer and his family, I mean, who cares what those low-lives do anyway?

Why showing all these on Malaysian tv? What benefits are we getting by showing all these trash to our young Malaysians?
