Pinocchio In Our Midst

 I don't intend to become an entertainment news reporter ... it is just that I was amused with what is going on with our noontime shows. The daily "tug-of-war" in the ratings is making the show's host teetering on the precipice - where they issue potentially perilous statements or place them in an uncertain and embarrassing state.

A case in point is Joey de Leon's over-the-top comments with too cringey "kayabangan" undertones when he said: Umabot lang ang Its Showtime ng 15 years ... pwede na siyang lumuhod sa kanila." Now he is putting himself in a cringe and awkward position whether he will HONOR (pardon the redundancy) the time-HONORed and stereotypical  "word of HONOR" ...  a commitment that he will do as promised like an oath or a pledge. Or a solemn vow ... na LULUHOD siya at kakainin ang kanyang salita.

His mistake was that he was not cautious and careful ... nor did he try to do research about It's Showtime ... which will be celebrating its 15th anniversary this October 2024 ... meaning the Madlang people will see Joey de Leon "KNEEL" in its full regalia and splendor in the next six months. I can't wait.

As I told you in my previous post ... I witnessed Joey playing with words before ... at walang halaga sa kanya ang kanyang mga salita niya ... and just like any slippery eel nilulusutan ang dapat lusutan.  Now he is singing a different tune ... hindi naman daw It's Showtime ang kanyang pinaparinggan kundi mga bloggers. Sensing the future embarrassment ... dahil matabil siya ... the spin doctor in him made him spew lies and bend the truth one more time.

He is a modern Pinocchio all right.

To the uninformed ... Pinocchio is a puppet who is being punished for every lie that he tells by undergoing further growth of his nose. The more lies he tells ... the longer it becomes.  There was one point when his nose was elongated ... he could not even go through the door of his room.

By the way ... tanong ng isang certified Kapamilya: " kung hindi Its Showtime ang pinaparinggan mo ... then sino ang show na wala sa Top 5 World's longest show and need umabot ng 15 years ... bago luhuran?"

Vice Ganda - Spontaneous Comedian

In the segment Expecially For You ... Vice Ganda displayed again he is a spontaneous jokester. He has a natural impulse or tendency ... his jokes are unsolicited and unplanned.  His jokes make you suspect it was carefully prepared beforehand ... but it was not. His comment just fell from out of the blue, unrehearsed, unplanned, voluntary ... an impromptu or a spur-of-the-moment remark.

After seeing the third searchee in the segment Vice noticed her perfect nose ... she said ang dulo ng ilong ay aabot na sa Eat Bulaga? At the start wala pa akong reaction ... pero tinanong ko ... paano naman pumunta sa Eat Bulaga ang joke?

Matalino si Vice ... and knowing him ... hindi basta lalanding ng basta basta ang Eat Bulaga sa joke na walang man lang relevance.

Knowing the story of Pinocchio ... at yong mahaba niyang ilong ... Joey is now making his initial strides para gumawa ulit ng panibagong kasinungalingan para mapalambot ang mga naghihintay na madlang people who is all eager to see ng pagluhod ng mga tala. At pagbawas ng kahambogan.

This early stage of the game ... para na ring siyang LUMUHOD.
