Have a listen.
Well, as you can probably imagine, fellow Filipinos won't be very happy about these unflattering comments. This reminds me of an incident before. The popular show, Desperate Housewives, they made a joke about the Philippines producing dubious college degrees. There was a sizable uproar with protest from this and that sector etc. It was even referenced in a national paper.
In the Philippines, believe me, people in general have a poor sense of humor. As soon as some American or foreigner takes jabs at our country, our panties are in a bunch. Yet, interestingly when we mock our own failures we shrug our shoulders.
I don't really find Adam Carolla's comments offensive. That's because its so over the top, I don't take it seriously and I can appreciate the sarcastic and caustic style of comedians like Carolla. I mean, I have George Carlin's complete set of routines and videos if that tells you anything. Others however, take it so seriously. What he said had a grain of truth and we can't accept it. Its not fun to be the butt of a joke but all countries have to learn to accept being made fun of. Look at Canada.
Anyway I agree with everything Carolla said about Manny. He is idolized way too much. We really need to grow up, closing down the entire country whenever he fights. That's a fact actually. It is statistically true that even crime goes down on the day of his fights. Yeah, we should get a life and yes, its funny. What he said was funny. It's not offensive. It's funny. Its funny because its true, isn't it. ISN'T IT. Oh yes, the truth hurts but learn to laugh for chicken bone's sake. Learn to laugh. Its called a sense of humor. Get one.
Why so serious?
