some sensible blogs about the issue:

my take: it is NOT wrong to feel insulted or feel angry about the joke, it is NOT wrong to lash out against the joke... perfectly understandble as far as this one is concerned...

but there's such a thing as taking it too far (and by that, i mean some who are demanding more than just a simple apology, like a full recant, or a boycott or banning of the show or for scholarships like this stupidity http://globalnation.inquirer.net/new...ticle_id=92508)... and taking the joke out of context...

like i said before, if they want to take these kind of actions, they should do the same for our local shows that make regional or ethnical stereotypes (baluga, bisaya, probinsyanos, etc...) a butt of many jokes...

wala dapat double standards...


oh and I'M NEVER GOING TO SIGN THAT STUPID PETITION unless they also make a petition to BAN ALL FILIPINO COMEDY SHOWS AND ACTORS (which is practically the entire business) that make fun of different Pinoy stereotypes...

sometimes the truth can be insulting, could be a mirror statement of how wanting our educational system is..Im not saying bati, but really wanting ang quality sa some skuls(which is daghan ra ba)

so you do admit that teri's character should watch out for the doctors coming from the med schools here in our country?

its not that..Its like I cant blame others who have second thoughts when they learn youre from PI, you just have to earn their trust..my dad when he got to the States, nobody believed him, but he worked his way up and he just earned trust

that's very admirable...

some people put too much value over words in that they fail to see that what's really important are the tangibles...

in the case of this Desperate Housewives issue, to quote my post from the other thread, demanding for apology (and more) is just a cheap satisfaction for most people who are insecure of their own self-worth...

real vindication is when you're able to prove their perceptions wrong with your own actions...

So SAD, coz that happen to be one of my favorite TV shows, and i like Teri too. But, because of what happen all of those disappear.
