Bangkok — In a bizarre turn of events, Thailand has called upon an ageing pop star, Rama “Leeky Wobblenoggin” IV, to lay out the rules for the upcoming Songkran festival. Rama can be seen strutting around Bangkok, waving an oversized paper fan, and bellowing out decrees, accompanied by a flock of auto-tuned backup dancers.
The Paparazzi-Pop Star Pact
The unconventional decision has been correlated with a sudden decline in digital screen sales as live entertainment seems to quench the public demand for bizarre. The Songkran festival, best known for its traditional water fights, has been introduced to some unexpectedly avant-garde rules, such as wearing synchronized swimsuits and a mandatory gazillion-step K-pop dance to greet anyone. Mid-air pirouettes, drenched harmonicas or any surprise key changes are heavily encouraged to uplift the festivities.
Don’t rub the genie, scratch the record
Breaking these newly minted rules invites unusual penalties that seem to emerge from a workout nightmare. Should an unsuspecting festival participant fail to stick to a pirouette or neglect the rhythm step, furious treadmills or wildly oscillating yoga balls come into play as a form of punishment. The government, unsuccessfully trying to mask the hilarity, has assured the public that all fines collected will be redirected to fund Rama IV’s next music feat due within the next century.
A local duck spills the beans
“It’s madness out there,” quacks a bewildered local duck named Mango Sticky Rice. “I starred in one of Rama’s early 2000’s hit music video. I got the gig because I could breakdance, but I’ve never had to do a pirouette midflight. It’s utter chaos, but you know, in a fun sassy disco kind of way.” Mango swirled away before we could ask any more questions, dragging a neon lasso and warbling to herself.
