LEVITTOWN, Pennsylvania (The Adobo Chronicles) – Earlier this week, The Adobo Chronicles reported that it was raining spiders in Goulburn, Australia. It seems the Aussies had it much better than residents of Pennsylvania, U.S.A.

A Levittown family says their daughter’s Sweet 16 birthday party was ruined when a passing airplane dropped human waste on the celebration Sunday evening.

Joe Cambray, the birthday girl’s stepfather, said he was playing some horseshoes in the backyard when out of nowhere, something nasty rained down on the gathering, according to Fox 29 Philadelphia. Thankfully, a canopy erected for the party shielded most of the guests.

“Out of nowhere from the sky comes a bunch of feces, lands hard on the canopy,” Cambray told the station.

“We’d just gotten done with the cake, thank God,” Cambray’s sister, Kristie Rogy, said. “Because within two minutes something fell from the sky. It was brown. It was everywhere. It got on everything… It was gross!”

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is now investigating the incident and is ready to file charges against the aircraft responsible for being a party pooper.

VICE PRESIDENT BINAY PROMISES TO NAME NORA AUNOR NATIONAL ARTIST IF ACTRESS ENDORSED HIS CANDIDACY

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) –  With his waning popularity exacerbated by recent allegations of unexplained wealth, Vice President Jejomar Binay is turning to the country’s superstar, Miss Nora Aunor, for a much-needed boost to his quest for the presidency.

Binay remains the frontrunner in national polls on who should succeed President NoyNoy Aquino after the latter’s term expires in 2016.  However, in recent weeks, Senator Grace Poe has steadily climbed in the polls, inching closer to Binay. Too close for comfort.

Wanting to capitalize on the popularity of Aunor, Binay promised that if the multi-awarded acrtress endorsed his candidacy for president, he would name Aunor as a national artist during his first year as head of state. (Aquino had previously snubbed Aunor by refusing to name her as national artist despite strong recommendations by the national nominating committee.)

It is too late for Binay: Aunor has just endorsed Senator Poe as her choice for president in the 2016 elections.

Political analysts have said that with Aunor’s endorsement, Poe will likely overcome Binay’s lead in the polls as early as next week.

Some have even suggested that a Poe might consider choosing Aunor as her vice presidential running mate.

FILM STILL DO NOT PURGE - Bradley Cooper, left, and Rachel McAdams star in Columbia Pictures'

HONOLULU, Hawaii (The Adobo Chronicles) – Imagine a film set in paradise — Hawaii — where no Hawaiians, Asians or other Pacific Islanders live.

That’s the take-away from Columbia Pictures’ new film, ‘Aloha’ opening next week in theaters nationwide.

Directed by Cameron Crowe (‘Jerry Maguire’), the film features a stellar cast that includes Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone, Bill Murray, Rachel McAdams, and Alec Baldwin.

The film is about a celebrated military contractor who returns to the site of his greatest career triumphs and re-connects with a long-ago love while unexpectedly falling for the hard-charging Air Force watchdog assigned to him.

(Couldn’t they have filmed it in North Carolina?)

An Asian-American group is blasting  Crowe for having “whitewashed” Asian-Pacific Islanders out of his new film set in Hawaii.

Other groups, including many that consist of Hawaii residents, are threatening to boycott the film.

In an effort to quell growing criticism, Columbia Pictures announced today that it has changed the title of the film to ‘AlowHa’ which many critics are calling a new “low” in desperate damage-control.

We think it’s  ALOWblowtoHAwaii.
