New Canaan, Connecticut (The Adobo Chronicles) – Belgium celebrated its 2-1 win over the United States in today’s World Cup match which led to the elimination of the Americans from the competition. In the U.S. , conservative columnist Ann Coulter was doing her own celebrating.

Coulter, in her syndicated column last week berated America’s fascination for soccer which she described as a sign of the nation’s moral decay. She wrote, “One can only hope that, in addition to learning English, these new Americans (referring to immigrants) will drop their soccer fetish with time.”

Coulter appeared vindicated with the U.S. loss to Belgium and announced that on July 4th, she will be hosting a Belgian waffle breakfast at her family’s home in New Canaan. The Universal Press Syndicate which distributes her column, will sponsor the breakfast.

The event will be by invitation only, and Coulter said that no soccer moms will be invited.

NO NATIONAL ARTIST FOR NORA AUNOR, NO NOBEL PRIZE FOR PRESIDENT AQUINO

Oslo, Norway (The Adobo Chronicles) – Call it Karma, but for Philippine President NoyNoy Aquino, what goes around comes around.

In one of the most controversial moves by a sitting president, Aquino snubbed multi-awarded actress Nora Aunor, excluding her from the short list of nominations for the National Artists Award. This, despite a unanimous nod for Aunor by the national nominating commiittee.

Responding to the mounting criticism of the snub, Aquino issued a statement that his decision to exclude Aunor was because of the actress’ drug possession charge in Los Angeles, California years ago. “It is a moral issue,” Aquino said.

In a weird turn of events, the nominating committee for the prestigious Nobel Prace Prize informed the Philippine government that Aquino can not be nominated for the prize on moral grounds, particularly his chain-smoking. There is speculation that the Aquino administration wanted the president nominated for this year’s peace prize.

“Smoking kills. Second-hand smoke kills,” the Oslo committee said, “so there is no way a person who causes death can ever be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.”

SELFIES: FIRST A MENTAL DISORDER, NOW A SYMPTOM OF SEXUAL DEFICIENCY

June 30, 2014 Pol Pinoy 5 Comments

Wageningen, The Netherlands (The Adobo Chronicles) – Selfies seem to be taking quite a bit of beating lately. First, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) recently officially classified selfies as a mental disorder. Now, a Dutch researcher says selfies can cause a severe sexual imbalance.

The Dutch researcher, Christyntjes Van Gallgher and his team from Wageningen University studied 800 people who self-identified as ‘selfie addicts.’ The study found that 83% of the study participants had zero to low sexual activity, leading the researchers to conclude that selfitis, as defined by the APA, also causes sexual deficiency syndrome, a condition that depletes the body’s hormones and sexual appetite. The study has a margin of error of plus or minus 3%.

The researchers recommended that selfie addicts reduce their social media activity (taking self photos and posting them on the Internet) by at least 50% in order to regain normal production of their hormones.
