The latest Showtime controversy is a continuing saga ... thanks to the movie personality's out-of-control drive to participate in the discussion ... all with good intentions ... but in the end all suffered minor burns for not staying on the sidelines.
First, let us examine the words of the combatants and select the ones who endangered themselves and opted to unzip their mouths and manage to place themselves in the eye of the storm. Whatever their reasons are ... we couldn't fault them for writing or saying what they want to say.
1. The first person was Nikko Natividad - a former Hashtag and an actor in ABS CBN Batang Quiapo.
2. Nicco Loco - Canadian Italian actor, host and TV presenter
I have nothing but admiration for the two for standing up and making their views heard. It takes courage and "balls" to speak what is in your mind and pour your heart out. They have points that everybody needs to know and learn from.
To make this commentary balance the hosts of Showtime did everything they could to prevent the situation from escalating. It is their responsibility to call out behaviors and police their ranks. A joke may not be the right way to call out somebody ... the intention may not be to shame the guest ... but to remind them of their limits and their excesses.
It is how you say things that matter though ... but knowing Showtime's propensity for comedy bar's type of slapstick and satire ... if you are a person who is easily offended ... the best remedy is to avoid being a part of it ... regardless of how much you need the money.
Discretion is a better part of valor -meaning if you hate embarrassing yourself or experiencing unpleasant situations... the most sensible thing to do is to stay away from it.
