The Binibining Pilipinas 08 Retort

[semi-serious rant post]

For the uninformed, educate yourselves:



Long story short: somebody who had a bad accent and bad English won.

Okay, so the judges were most definitely smoking something that night. Either that or it's all part of another conspiracy abrew (plus points if you can tie this to the Arroyo administration). What I don't really get is why people are actually mad at her winning. And the longer the issue is running it seem, the less people's reactions feel like a steamed protest and the more it sounds like the roll of an angry hivemind mob.

Now I don't mind people getting pissed about things. What I'm pretty jizzed about is how people are going about expressing their raaaage. Let me first ask you this question: How many Filipinos who possess impeccable English do you come across daily ? I don't consider myself as a perfect English speaker but I can tell when somebody gigasucks in speaking English. I'll tell you my answer to that question. NOT A LOT, Id Est, BARELY EVEN THERE. Even those esteemed callcenter agents who might have good accents fuck their English up a lot as well orally. I won't even go so far as written English.

Point is, a vast majority of Filipinos have massive suckage written all over their aptitude reports as far as English is concerned. So where am I getting here? Check the difference between the two:

- I didn't think she should have won. The judges might have been busy fondling each other's cocks during the competition. Maybe we should stop choosing douchy overpaid assholes to choose our representatives for once.

- That gurl sux!! Her grammars is bad! AHAHAHA! ... She didnt deserves to win! (actual youtube comment)

See my point? If somebody approaches me and uses the first statement in a conversation I'd casually reply my honest opinion. If that same person uses the second statement, I'd openly answer with the back of my hand addressed to his/her right cheek in a dignity-saving bitchslap. Unless you can speak better than whoever you're condescending, you best be hiding the fact you're just as retarded by staying quiet.

Actually scratch that. The fact that you know better than her should at least give you enough knowledge that English is a hard language to master, and that most people will spend their lives using it and never really get any better than that repor'tard who keeps on misusing your/you're on Inquirer.net. Shame shame.

I spent time on the stage too. I have stagefright. While other speakers imagine the crowd as seminaked, no matter how hard I try, I always see them as rabid chipmunks from hell. It's scary up there. I doubt many people will ever understand what I'm talking about, but if I were talking to her as a judge, I wouldn't be as surprised to see her fuck her answer up in such an ungodly manner the way she did. It's perfectly excusable in her position and NOBODY who hasn't tried standing in front of such a huge audience in impromptu act can speak righteously.

And to the guys who say she shouldn't have won, be honest. Fuck you. Be honest. You know damn right that when nobody's asking about her eligibility in winning anymore you wont even think twice about considering whether or not you'd agree she's tappable (unless you are a nerd and your standards have been unusually upped by a constant stream of porn)

If ever there's anything this pageant has proven, it's not that the pageant itself sucks. It's that the crowd its supposed to represent is well represented. Enjoy your fucked up mentalities.

Now let me go watch my streaming porn.
