NTV7: Your Feel Good Station

This evening I was watching Ghost Stories on NTV7 and it was showing the silhouette of a psycho going about his grisly business, hacking off the heads of eight victims. At critical points in the story, it took a commercial break with this cheery tag reminder: good feelings coming back right after this. You wonder, a psycho chopping off the heads of eight people, where six victims were children, and you call that "good feelings"? Yes, those guys at NTV7 are telling you, "Don't go away! Stay put! or you're going to miss the "good feelings!" Then, just before the show came back on after the commercial break, the Home of Feel Good NTV7 rubbed it in with another friendly tag reminder: back to good feelings.

Chilling, isn't it?

The following info about NTV7 is taken from Wikipedia:

Natseven TV Sdn Bhd or better known as ntv7 is a terrestrial television channel in Malaysia. It was launched nationwide on 7 April 1998. Its mission is to promote a happier and more enlightened Malaysia. Believing strongly in the provision of wholesome entertainment, good family and community values, good corporate citizenship, and the promotion of national integration, the station works on an appointment-based programming concept reflecting its philosophy of being Saluran Ceria Anda ("Home Of Feel Good", “感覺美好“).
