The Culture Of Body-Shaming As Comedy (video)

In a land where humor supposedly reigns, Filipino entertainers have somehow mistaken body-shaming for comedy gold.

Who could forget Vice Ganda’s infamous concert moment, where ridiculing Jessica Soho’s weight became the highlight? Throw in a distasteful “rape” joke, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for comedic disaster.

These entertainers, with their razor-sharp tongues seem to believe that poking fun at someone’s physique is the pinnacle of humor, eagerly cheered on by audiences whose laughter echoes their own cluelessness.

Perhaps it’s time for these comedians to step off the stage and enroll in a crash course on empathy—or better yet, comedy that doesn’t punch down. After all, there’s nothing funny about degrading others for a cheap laugh.

Quiboloy The Politician (video)

Most Filipinos link Kingdom of Jesus Christ Pastor Apollo Quiboloy to Rodrigo Duterte whom he has recently appointed as administrator.

However, the appointed “son of God” has been identified with other earthly politicians, among them Gibo Teodoro, the late PNoy, and former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

We wonder if any Bongbong Marcos connection would surface soon.

A Netizen Shares His Harrowing Experience With Technology

I was visiting a friend at his house when he asked me why I was speaking very softly.

I said I was afraid that Mark Zuckerberg was listening.

My friend laughed.

I laughed.

Siri laughed.

Alexa laughed.

Even Waze whom I forgot to switch off laughed.

My friend and I both clapped. The lights turned off!

The next day, I shared my experience on Facebook and Twitter. My account was suspended for violating community standards!
