Mad TV

What have advertisers, TV show writers and supposed "creative" staff been thinking these days? Could they been gunned down for Christ's sake?

• Tide advertisement saying that one is greater than two. The word "better" or "more effective" is so different from "greater." It's wrong to say that one apple guava is greater than two native guavas. This concept just gives confusion to kids who are starting to learn Mathematics.
  
  
• Knorr chicken cubes is "natural." WTF!
  
  
• Umami as the fifth taste is something new to me. I've grown up thinking that it still is named "area of no clear taste." But learning that the development of this is helped with Ajinomoto, I have started doubting.
  
  
• Is mayonnaise a real food? Duh. Are there some "fake" food anyway?
  
  
• Edu Manzano's Coffeemate ad. Couldn't we have anything more chaotic and jologs than that? Obviously, he took the project to be more makamasa. I've heard his planning to run for senator come 2010.
  
  
• Pinoy Idol is totally a disappointment - from the very poor production (where's the creativity of the "creative" team?") - lights, camera, stage - to the judges' comments, to the very cold and so-scripted host, to the results. What happened to the people with talents? I have a feeling that Gretchen is going to win this contest. With a Dad who could afford so many loads for his employees, being the first PI is very attainable. In contrary, the stylists have drowned the contenders with their over the top fashion make-over.
  
  
• Movies and TV programs that are promoted not by the acting capabilities of the actors nor by the storyline and any other merits but because of either steaming hot scenes or just plain kissing scenes by the stars.
  
  
• Again, Marian Rivera who doesn't know any other dance steps except the Marimar style.

Tele-tubby

What national TV has to offer nowadays:

• Marian Rivera's over-exposed face, jolog accent and same Latina dance moves
  
• Kris Aquino who looks like Valentina in her very curly hair in a Casino advertisement
  
• Judy Ann Santos saying "byutipul" in her Pantene ad (she doesn't speak that bad)
  
• Claudine Barreto whose face looks like an unimpressive drawing with very thick contour and very sharp eyebrows that could even slit one's neck
  
• Heart Evangelista and Jericho Rosales divulging so much about their break-up which is supposedly considered as a private matter
  
• Jennylyn Mercado keeping on expressing how she hates the father of her son-to-be (how pathetic)
  
• Gabby Concepcion and his cases here, there and everywhere
  
• Sam Milby and Piolo Pascual having the you-can-visit-the-DOJ-secretary-anytime access just to ask assurance that they'll be given justice (seems like they're as kawawa as those human rights and rape victims)
  
• MERALCO and its business of profiteering from people
  
• Environmental campaigns that only a few people care about
  
• Ratings issues

Hag-as

Me? Joining a singing contest like Pinoy Idol? Why? Because I can't. Hag-as uy. I don't have June's guts. I don't even sing in videokes what more with singing solo on stage.

I'm alarmed. I have a look-alike.

Why are people insisting that I am that person? Do they have a proof? Does that bald person smiling all his gums out bear my name? Were they able to get the DNA sample of that guy? No.

Liar Liar

According to "Life and Style" the other week (or should I say, last year), one can distinguish if a person is lying or not by the way he speaks, the way his eyes move, his gestures, etc. How come my classmates in 4th year never knew that I was lying when I gave them a false seatwork for history? Does that mean I'm that seasoned in lying?

In addition to that, an average person tells a lie at least once a day. So woud you believe it when I say I'm a drop-dead handsome guy? I lied! Bwahahaha.

Hollywood Dream

Too much of teens trying to race for the claim for fame. Just watched last night this program of ABC 5 entitled "Hollywood Dream". While StarsStruck and SCQ contenders vie for a million-peso contract in the Philippines, these not-anymore-popular or don't-even-exist individuals are aiming for a starring role in two Hollywood movies, with their salary, in dollars.

Pinky Amador, Julia Clarete, Rafael Russell, Baron Geisler, Jaime Wilson, Raymund Bagatsing, Hillary Isaac (Lumen's sister), Roxie Barselo and Monica Laranas. The competition is tough though the production is not that good.

You may watch it every Sunday at around 9 p.m.
