Noynoy Supporters are Proof that The Philippines is a Wowowee Idiocracy

Everytime I read about Noynoy Aquino leading in the surveys, I am reminded of how stupid Filipinos are. What strengthens my belief in their collective stupidity is the vapidity of the reasons they give as to why they want to vote for him as the next president. The guy has absolutely no accomplishments, the paltry sum of nine bills he filed failed to become laws and there is a total absence of anything notable that he has done for the country, the organizations he joined and even himself! Even his claim to being a “fiscalizer” is dubious because there is no solid data to support such a claim.


The “reasons” people give are very shallow and mostly rooted in emotions. They mostly go along the lines of him being the son of Ninoy and Cory and that he will continue their legacies. Ask them what his accomplishments are, and they cannot give any results that Noynoy has delivered. He just filed those nine bills and held various positions where he was basically a lame duck.

I have always said that the reason Filipinos are drawn to Noynoy is because he is the candidate whose current situation fits perfectly as a protagonist in a cheesy telenovela. His father was killed in the past, his mom who continued the fight recently died and then he got “discernment” from “Bro” to become the savior. “Siya na nga” as the morons would say.

One of the shows that contributes to the moronization of The Filipinos is Wowowee. It is a game show wherein poor contestants play silly games or make themselves look ridiculous in order to win cash prizes. The more pathetic your situation is, the more money the host Willie Revillame will give you. For example, there was one contestant who was interviewed by Willie for a certain game and when asked what her job was she said she was a street sweeper. When asked what her husband was, she said he is unemployed. When asked how many children she had, she said she had 17. Then she started crying about how she cannot support her children, how she has to take on extra jobs, how her children could not eat full meals and then followed these through with a litany of other miseries that were a result of her stupidity and irresponsibility. After she announced to the public how pathetic her situation was, Willie Revillame gave her a big sum of money.

For an ordinary idiot, that was a good display of being “humane” but if you look at it objectively, that woman should not be rewarded for her stupidity and instead should be shamed. She should not be put on a pedestal to be applauded and given prize money. There are also parts where a contestant will talk to her mother/son or some relative in the crowd and they will exchange sad stories, cry and collect money directly proportionate to the volume of tears they shed or how pathetic their situations are. What it would do is establish in people’s minds that the more pathetic you are, the more rewards you should be given.


The show does not take half a brain to conceptualize and implement. No intellectual effort at all. All you have to do is gather sexy girls, ugly people to make fun of and dime-a-dozen comedians. Have them do those repetitive songs, cheesy sexy dance numbers, demeaning jokes and other sorts of trash. Mix it in with portions where you make fun of people in the audience and the more ridiculous they make themselves look like or sound, the more money they will get. Let me know if I am missing anything. The quality of entertainment (or lack of it thereof) is so appalling that you would wonder why such a show would survive and even thrive in a society of thinking human beings. Well, it thrives in The Philippines because most of the people there do not use their brains and are very unprincipled. The people in the show reflect the hordes of imbeciles voting for Noynoy. No matter what we do, the filipinos are not in any way capable of having a good leader neither do they deserve one because they allow themselves to be used by people like Willie Revillame.


The vicious cycle of Filipinos having little intellectual capacity and watching shows that further deteriorates their minds could only result in a populace that would fall for the cheap marketing gimmicks of Noynoy Aquino or even Manny Villar handlers. With these kinds of shows constantly inputting garbage into the minds of The Filipinos, they get easily sensationalized by semblances of melodrama like when Mar Roxas stepped down in favor of Noynoy who “lucked out” by having his mother die.
 
 

A good candidate like Richard Gordon who can really get the country out of the rut it is in right now has very little chance of winning because it takes a normal human brain and a strong set of principles to arrive at a rational decision that Gordon is the best man for the job. Sadly, the sentimentality of Cory Aquino’s death and Ninoy’s supposed heroism gets the moronic Filipino populace enthralled and high on it as if it were a dose of heroine that clouds the mind. Others who are supposedly “intelligent” want to vote for Noynoy because he is the “lesser evil” and that voting for others would just make Villar (someone perceived to be corrupt) win. For me that is unprincipled because a vote is for someone you deem to be the right one for the position and nothing else. If you vote based on surveys then you are nothing but part of a herd of sheep who goes wherever the rest go -- even to the slaughterhouse.


As The Filipino population hankers after furthering their destruction, I could not help but sigh and shake my head. There they are hypnotized by the tunes the pied pipers play as they plunge together into the water to die like the rats that they are.
