Please, Explain and/or Comment

   TV has been my constant companion these days and there are a lot of things I see on it, mostly on free TV, that just make me  react. Sorry if I’ll disappoint some of you because this is not an intellectual entry that asks an explanation about the various things that have recently happened in the country (e.g. Jalosjos being set free, the whole “Nicole” situation, “developments” in the Dacer murder, etc). Honestly, I am at a lost for words to describe my disgust for many of the things that are in the news so maybe next time.

I’ll focus on the more “jologs” things I see on TV and ask for your own opinions. This is majorly for fun, so no UBERLY serious and violent reactions people – wag kayong masyadong OA at Corny!

1) That new PH Care Ad 
     Girl dates this new guy, and she likes him. They go on another date and she’s so worried, because on this date she’ll meet his friends and apparently he is “bringing” his exGF on that date. And so girl is worried and it is therefore important that she uses PH care on this particular day.
     
     ANO DAW?! First of all if you are dating a new guy and he is “bringing” (exact term – BRINGING- they used in their tarps all over the metro) his EX, that’s SO WRONG. Be afraid, I think he is just on a rebound and wants to make her jealous, etc.
    
     And when friends meet a new girl (or boy) in their friend’s life, how your private part smells is not exactly what they look into on that gathering. And I can understand how one might worry if her armpits smell, because other people can smell that easily, but down there – nobody really bends to check if you smell there. And if you smell that bad down there that it smells without people bending and getting close to it – Be Very Afraid! See a doctor asap.
   
    More than anything else – ang normal na tao, naghuhugas araw-araw para sa sariling pangkalinisan, di lamang para sa special occasions. Ano buzz!? Paki balik na lang si Ate Shawie na hawak-hawak lang ang PH Care, it works way better.

2) TANG Fruit Teaz Ad
     My sister told me that it was a copy of some 200 artists who did it in Central Station in New York(NYCentralStationFreeze). People just suddenly stopped for about 5 minutes and people looked and stared. Bongga nga naman, intriguing nga yun in a very busy station and with 20 people doing that for a period of 5mins. 
    
     So a very creative and very “original” ad agency decided to use it to LAUNCH  their new instant Iced Tea. Iced tea with fruit flavors; with a line that is something like “Ibang Klaseng Tea, Ibang Klaseng Trip.” The Ad had 5 (yes, lima lang) kids take a gulp of the new iced tea and plan to do it in a mall. To stop for like 10seconds (kasi 30 seconder lang naman yung Ad). And after they do it, they are super happy and think they are super cool and drink more of the iced tea.
    
     OK, I’m supposed to be immensely excited by that and have me run toward the nearest store to get me that new iced tea?! Seriously?! Wala akong naintindihan. Isa syang “BLEECH” na Ad. Waste of money, to think LAUNCH ito ha.
    
     It’s SUMMER, you could have had the kids run outside, play a new sport or an Old Pinoy Game (which is not uso so ibang Trip yun di ba),have them sweat and have them drink the iced tea served by their parents who are so happy because this is a healthy drink. Ok fine, it’s Not at all Creative. But I think people can understand more that this drink is “cool” and can quench your thirst, it is healthy and it appeals to kids.
   
      Yun lang. ANG PANGIT talaga nya! Manggagaya ka na lang ng gawa ng iba, ayusin mo naman and MAKE IT BETTER.

3) ABS Summer09 ID
    SUNOG sya. I was trying to adjust our TV watching the launch earlier today, thinking it’s our telly that has problems. But the lighting was ok before the summer AVP and it’s ok in the other channels. Conclusion- sunog ang naiplay nila kanina. I’m only pertaining to the one they used earlier when they launched it because when I looked for it on youtube, it wasn’t as overexposed, although I still think medyo OA sa “summer” sunog ang entire ID.
   
    But Thumbs Up to the message of “paggalaw/pagkilos” in the ID. And add some socially relevant situations (kahit na you know di naman sa totoong buhay ginagawa nila yun) in the AVP, like cleaning up trash, helping in GK, taking care of animals, etc.  
   
    But the biggest question of all, which I need explanation – where is the MEGASTAR in the summer ID? I didn’t just miss her because I watched it again on youtube and no Ate Shawie there. Why, Bakit, Ngano, Porque, Imba?
   
    Aga(who I love because he was a crush, let it be noted) and Martin do not have regular TV shows in ABS and they were there - buy my Ate Sharon was not there? Aba, aba, aba. Magpaliwanag kayo sa prisinto?! I don’t care if she’s busy or something, people should have moved heaven and earth to make sure she was on the ID. Hmp!
