Willie Strikes again

An avid Willie Revillame supporter would say, they were just waiting for him to make a mistake. I'm sorry if I can't help it. He's pretty consistent. He never fails to disappoint and make a fool of himself.

Just a few months after his new show was launched, and a couple of days after my post about how miserable primetime TV has become, Willie does it again. It seems like controversy follows him where ever he goes. 

[ I posted the original video here that had over 400,000 hits but after a few days it was taken down. The video contained Jan-jan's erotic dance and showed Willie asking the poor boy to repeat it over and over. ]

It amazes me how some people think there's nothing wrong with this. How they defend it and regard it merely as a show. While it may be true that the kid was in on it a 100%, there was a judgment error made when the host of the show who had every control to stop it did not do anything, and instead laughed like a buffoon on the background and even made the kid do it over and over again.


So he apologizes on National TV, brings the child's parents to his show and makes it appear like it was nobody's fault. 

The issue was not how lewd or malicious the performance was, but the fact that they allowed it to be aired on TV for all the world to enjoy. Or probably, the bigger issue now is how our society is now able to tolerate irresponsible parenting for a few thousand bucks. 

Or the fact that we have now sank to our deepest low. From soap operas that offer no redeeming values or any substance at all, and worse thrives on plots of revenge and evil schemes to TV game shows that promises false hopes of sudden wealth while exploiting poverty and misery.

Ask yourself. What kind of society are we bringing our children into?
