Did Blogger Mark Lopez Fart In The Elevator?

Blogger Mark Anthony Lopez has truly mastered the art of fake news but make it fashion.

In a dazzling display of journalistic gymnastics, he drops a bombshell: “Was it the First Lady who asked all cabinet members to resign?” Ah yes, the classic fake-news-with-a-question-mark technique — the coward’s exclamation point. It’s like throwing a grenade and whispering, “Just asking!” as it explodes.

Unfortunately for Mark, this rhetorical camouflage doesn’t work when your “question” is already packed with libelous baloney. It’s like saying, “Did aliens abduct the president last night?” and then acting shocked when people accuse you of being unhinged.

Mark’s strategy is the digital equivalent of farting in an elevator and asking, “Who did that?” But the internet sees through it. Next time, Mark, maybe try actual journalism instead of conspiracy fan fiction disguised as curiosity. Or better yet, just stick to food blogging — at least the harm would be limited to cholesterol.

Is another warrant of arrest for cyber libel looming for our beloved Kuryente King?

Alexa, New Queen Of Fake News?

At exactly 4:01 a.m. on April 22, 2025, millions of groggy Filipinos were wide awake, clutching emergency kits and spam, thanks to Alexa—Amazon’s beloved voice assistant turned doomsday prophet.

Earlier, Alexa had boldly predicted a powerful 8.2 magnitude earthquake would rock the Philippines, complete with a countdown, an ominous playlist (“Shake It Off” included), and reminders to “duck, cover, and shop Prime.”

The result? A few mild tremors in Mindanao and one guy in the Ilocos who spilled his taho.

“I trusted her,” sobbed one Manila resident. “She’s never steered me wrong on rice cookers.”

Experts say Alexa may have confused seismic data with her owner’s vibrating massage chair. Amazon released a statement saying, “Alexa’s still learning. And possibly watching too much YouTube.”

In the meantime, she’s suggested survival kits, helmets, and a subscription to “Earthquake Weekly.” Because even when she’s wrong, Alexa’s always ready to sell you something.

Trust Survey: Let’s Poll The Pollsters!

Poll ratings nowadays are like online shopping reviews—glowing, scathing, or just plain fake.

One poll says Candidate A is leading by a mile; another says Candidate B is winning by divine intervention. Somewhere out there, Candidate C is still looking for their name on the list.

The results are as diverse as the number of polling firms, which now outnumber street food stalls. It’s confusing, shocking, and yes, mind-blogging—because they mess with your head and your blog.

Some methodologies remain top secret, but their biases shine through like a ring light on a wannabe influencer.

Maybe it’s time we poll the pollsters—rank them from most trusted to most twisted. At least then, we’ll know if the numbers we’re fed are cooked, raw, or just plain imaginary. Until then, we might as well consult a Magic 8 Ball. It’s cheaper, and let’s face it—probably just as accurate.
