Me in my next job interview

from http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=961

Cory Aquino is a Slut

And yes, I have called her worse during her term as President. It's what we call, freedom of speech. And as Atheista so eloquently put it, those hurt have every right to be hurt, but as Dispatches from the Culture Wars puts it,

"freedom of thought and expression must include the right to offend .... If it does not, then there is no point in calling it freedom at all for it doesn't deserve the name."

Censoring Lois Lane

The Philippine Daily Inquirer reports that ABC news

"...confirmed that a remark made by actress Teri Hatcher's character in a recent episode of "Desperate Housewives" which has prompted ,angry reactions from Filipinos all over the world will be deleted.

It is believed that ABC made this decision after

"Rico Foz, executive vice president of the National Alliance for Filipino Concerns, said the group was demanding that the ABC television network immediately edit out the controversial scene..."

Now, I am on record (its comment #7) that I believe that racism influenced the crafting of the remarks but c'mon, you want to delete it? Historical revisionism at it's best, sure Desperate Housewives is not Shakespeare but what is? Do we as a nation really want to be part of censoring things offensive to us?

And since I am already on this subject, why are people shooting the messenger? Teri Hatcher, who will always be Lois Lane to me, was the actor, she delivered the line, yet a lot of the vitriol I hear or read centers on her, c'mon people let us be more discriminating.

Para sa Bagets generation...

200 milyon

Dalawang daang milyon! Ito daw yung pera na sabi ni COMELEC Chairman Abalos na ibibigay kay Sec. Neri kung maaprubahan ang NBN-ZTE. Nahihilo ako sa laki ng pinag-uusapang pera dito. Kay Secretary Neri pa lang iyan, di pa natin alam kung magkano ang mapupunta kay Chairman Abalos, o kung magkano ang mapupunta kina Mike Arroyo, kung kasali nga siya. Paano pa yung mas mabababa ang posisyon sa kanila? May parte din kaya sila? Kung susumahin natin, bilyong piso siguro ang aabutin ng suhol para lang maaprubahan ang proyekto na ito

Nakakahilo, ni hindi ko maarok kung gaano kadaming pera ang 200 milyon. Ni hindi pa ako nakakakita ng 200 libong piso, paano pa kaya ang 200 milyon. Ini-isip ko pa lang nasusuka na ako. Kung may 200 milyon ako puede na akong mag retiro, maski ibangko ko lang siya at maski na 2 porsiyento kada taon ang kita nito, mayroon akong 4 na milyon taon-taon. Hindi ko na kakailanganing maghanap ng bargain na libro sa booksale, puede ko nang bilhin lahat ng librong gusto ko.

200 milyon, putsa.
