This should be quick, top of mind.
To such aforesaid
subjects, I say, satire is not truth, it is humor, often with a
purpose, maybe sharp of stick now and then, and the price of popularity, or engaging with creative people, is an
occasional poke.
Please associate a person or persons with each of the images below, and if you can, recite what they are doing. Do your own before reading what other people see in the photos.
As an example, here is my first impression:

Aahahaha! Get it?

Hawr hawr hawr!
Okay, your turn. Who do you see and what are they doing? Ten images plus a bonus.

Aha ha ha ha ... Skinny girl. Hmmmm .... Gwen I supose? But on the other hand Gwen has as thick a hide as #4. When Gwen gets mad her lips looks like #10. She scowls like #6. Watchout ... she'll turn to #1 ... with a quick flick of the head she could be a cobra.
DeleteI assure you, all top of mind, done without much thinking:
ReplyDeleteIMAGE 1: Johnny Lin and Alan Robles dancing their version of "Chicken Soup for the Soul" ha ha ha
IMAGE 3: Borat! Les Miserables! He was able to get together a Hamas officer and an Israeli to an interview, and he kept asking them why are they fighting over a food product - mashed chickpeas. (hummus, not Hamas!)
IMAGE 7: If anti-RH forces looked like this, it would have been tough.
IMAGE 9: Carlos Celdran dressed as Rizal, but barged into a children's party instead.
BONUS IMAGE: You should get a copy of the latest Rogue interview with him. It will give you insights on why he finds plagiarism a very common and harmless practice- he was doing it from way back, when he was in the recording industry!

ReplyDeleteTHAT IS WHAT I WANT !!!
(Why is it that whenever someone mention government employee what comes to mind are the paper pushers not the cabinet members and decision makers?)

http://business.inquirer.net/106129/philippine-peso-vs-us-dollar
BOTTOM LINE IS ... Strong currency without Catsup and Pansit export is reallly BAAAD !!!
What is stirring the Philippine economy are the OFWs, the main export of the Philippines. Their remittances woke up real estate and imported-consumer market. There is very little domestic locally produced consumer goods to talk about. Exports are mainly from EPZA which has close to 100% import components.
DeleteForeign companies "invest" in the Philippines so they can "profit" and their main goal is to bring their profit back to their home countries including their principal not bulldoze it back to Philippine economy mainly to satisfy their investors stake and stokeholders.
Philippine economy have little pansit and catsup to produce to tamp down OFW induced strengthening of the peso. Thank gootness Philippines still have limitless supplies of human resource where 32% of their produce, mainly babies, are still in their teens. This is the only natural resources that can be tapped because Filipino bureaucrats would rather protect the environment and indigenous animals over dead children.
VIVA LA RAZA !!!!!! VIVA MEXICO !!!!
Thank you contributors for maintaining the discussion to give JoeAm a two-day break away from the keyboard. I laughed mightily upon returning this afternoon. There are some classics here. My personal favorites from each are:
ReplyDeleteTony of Seattle: I'm pretty certain I see IMAGE 7 in my dreams! (JoeAm: interestingly enough, so does Angry Maude)
Mariano: Aha! ha! ha! That Bonus Image. Is that Van Gogh?
Andrew Lim: IMAGE 1: Johnny Lin and Alan Robles dancing their version of "Chicken Soup for the Soul" ha ha ha
Johnny Lim: (Re All Being AR) Monstrous silly ideas destined to marshland
Anon: I also see it as a pitful self portrain of Vincent Van Sotto! (Re Bonus Image)
Doc B: Except for the beauteous Sara lahbati . . . (Joe Am: I didn't get any further; I googled Image Search)
Edgar Lores: Red Sea Creature = Bombastic lady senator showing her softer side giving tips of pick-up lines for lovelorn sophomores. Also GMA adding illusory vertical height with a beehive hairdo. (Joe Am: I couldn't express why, but I also associated this with the aforesaid lady senator; the hair maybe)
Cha: 3. Celdron on crack. (Joe Am: that one put me on the floor for five minutes LMAO)
Eric: #1, 20+ servings of adobo (JoeAm: now Eric is a guy who "associates" with his stomach)
Josephivo: 8: The Philippines, red handed accepting bribes
Anon: #9 Joe America (JoeAm, yes! after giving Get Real a good roast)

DeleteImage #3 is my favorite because it's the victory sign of reasonable people who knew how to distinguish disrespectful act from good manners.
Celdran, even his lovers admitted, committed the grievious act inside a church which he could have done better outside. Facts are:
1. Celdran was convicted of a crime under an existing law. At the moment, he is out on bail until appeals are resolved. Celdran's defenders could attack the law and the prescribed punishment attached to it but what could they do except mumble incessantly about the law.
2. He had been having problems, probably stress and financial, fighting the charges and now appealing his conviction.His lovers must contribute to hs defense fund.
3. His headaches remain while the appeal is in progress
4. Most important,those people who believed he should be punished with his action are already SATISFIED with his initial conviction because hs financial and mental problems dealing with the charges will continue.
5. If Celdran will be eventually exonerated, SO WHAT! Victory has been achieved with the problems borne by Celdran. Final outcome of the case does not matter anymore! Celdran has suffered financially and mentally, if not morally.
Picture #3 is very depictive of schadenfreude.
Funny, you know what is the equivalent word of schadenfreude in Tagalog upon expressing victory sign to the losers, exactly the same pose as in the picture:
BURAT NYO!
Borat must be of Filipino blood
he he he!
Johnny Lin
Number 3 shall henceforth and ever after be known as the victory sign of the martyr, the cheerful thumbs up signifying "boy was that dumb but I gotta pretend otherwise" as he can no longer back out of his demise. The button has already been pressed.
DeleteJoe,
ReplyDeleteI suggest you include in the Phil blog center Fr Joel Tabora's wordpress blog. It's the hottest blog these days, mainly due to the two essays he posted, which Rappler carried.
It's creating shockwaves.
I'll do that Andrew. Thanks.
