The brouhaha created when one searchee tried to give a peck to the girl in one of Its Showtime segments Exspecially For You is fast reaching its crescendo. The reaction of the netizens is now on a fever pitch ... and as everybody joins the melee it looks like the embers of the controversy will not die down any time soon. Why the continuing saga?
One thing is the obviously coordinated attack on Its Showtime last Wednesday when netizens noticed similar posts made by various content creators and online users hiding under a cloak of anonymity. Parehong content at nilalaman authored by different scheming personalities.
There were also fans asking for MRTCB to flex its muscles ... to add luster to the ever-growing day-to-day flames that have already scorched, incinerated, and reduced our sense of decency and goodness to ashes.
Some are trying to goad Lala Sotto to intervene ... but this is a double-edged sword ... because once she does it it will open again more cans of worms ... and people will think ... she is still carrying the vendetta in favor of ET - who witnessed ratings that are in a nosedive lately.
There were also movie personalities who contributed their two cents worth on the matter ... but instead of helping douse the firestorm ... they also got their own share of sears and conflagration when netizens came in grooves to attack them in print.
There were also efforts made by supporters to call out these movie personalities asking for producers to cancel their participation in projects they were currently doing.
The reactions were far from lethal and career-threatening but the choice of words was venomous, below the belt, and toxic. If you are not used to controversy ... you can die down any minute. Everybody seemed in a poke-fun mood ... unmindful of the pain they inflicted.
My friend can't help but ask himself: |Where has all the goodness in every Filipino gone?
