Our humor tends to be very slapstick and isn't particularly subtle.Lizzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08223861067868777405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411085885350701701.post-68069271254455034212009-04-18T23:37:00.000+08:002009-04-18T23:37:00.000+08:00Truth is, we can take jokes. We make jokes about ourselves all the time. Just a problem of not quite recognizing certain type of jokes. We're used to slapsick comedy, where we get a laugh when the boss hits his subordinate with a rolled up newspaper or kick his behind while he stoops to pick up something.philoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07610343074142507421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411085885350701701.post-50384269109036626552009-04-02T23:46:58.580+08:002009-04-02T23:46:58.580+08:00My take on this issue -<BR/><BR/>I agree with everybody here that has said Tsao was out of line in his claim but IMO, this still borders to freedom of expression. (The way I see it, most of our kababayans are against Right of Reply Bill since this is abridging the freedom of speech according to them. Perhaps this is the litmus test).<BR/><BR/>Maybe he has his numbers and data to support his claims and we should also have the same to disprove them. What is the basis of his claims and how we can easily demolish it by our counter-claims. <BR/><BR/>Or we just feel slighted and are just making noises to prove that nobody can just push us out around? <BR/><BR/>(BTW, one has to look at the magnitude of our local gutter-sniping hurled by those by those in the media and politics - specially the leftist fringe. Insulting of TV contest participants by afternoon show host and these people will tell us it is just for fun or this walang kamatayang - trabaho lang ito, walang personalan). <BR/><BR/>Or maybe it is just an issue of comprehension or maybe the bandwagon effect?<BR/><BR/>Are we a nation of wimps and crybabies who could not move on when there is a slight thrown on us by other nationalities? <BR/><BR/>Isn't it that most of the time in our movies or komiks, the rapists,drug dealers, and worker oppressors are most of the times typically created as Chinese and terrorists are Mid Easterners? Americans as land grabbers?<BR/><BR/>And nobody from them is complaining.<BR/><BR/>For me, freedom of speech is to protect the words that persuades, not incite. <BR/><BR/>Now that the smoke is starting to clear up - between this China man and the Pinoy bloggers/commenters, the question is who is more persuasive?<BR/><BR/>I can't blame Chip Tsao to unashamedly chuckle with glee instead of being offended or cowed once he read their comments in the Pinoy's blogs…Trosphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11468404871300586525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411085885350701701.post-19951092050965508722009-03-31T14:20:56.912+08:002009-03-31T14:20:56.912+08:00JC - Ikr?
