fun and games!
my grandmother loves wowowee.
and because her TV's broken, i let her use mine.
Grandma: fun! fun! fun!
Mutti: fun! fun! fun!
Me: ugh.
Mutti: Don't be so antipatika. Why are you always expecting everyone to be as smart as you, UP people?! Is that really the issue?
The thing with noontime shows and how they make me cringe is that they are so mindless. Of course we can't expect everyone to be smart, but we shouldn't make such a big show out of people being forced to do stupid things.
I know, sometimes it's good to have fun without having to think,without having to appear smart, but sometimes it's just poor exploitation. Am I being to starchy stiff upper lipped here? I don't think so.
Some of my friends think that sometimes I'm being too "elitista".
I don't think so.
I guess I'll just quote some lines from an Itchyworms song...
Halina at sumama
sa programa na pang -masa
hindi kailangang magaling ka
basta?t bibo?t bongga ka
wala naman kayong alam
(ginagawa kayong tanga)
laging sinusubaybayan It's just so depressing to watch all these people pin down all their dreams on a noontime show. Sure, they can be fun and they can actually be entertaining. There's just this one question (still from the itchyworms song "theme from noontime show")...
Hanggang dito na lang ba ang masa?
