Noynoy Has A Lot In Common With Paris Hilton

When Noynoy heard some vain, self important, attention grabbing good for nothing loose woman was coming to visit Malacanang. His first instinct was "Kris!!!" Forget my personal views on Noynoy . Why is Paris Hilton’s Manila visit treated like she is a Nobel Peace Prize winner? If life has taught me anything it is the dumb are always fertile ground in which to plant comedy . I initially totally agreed with Georgina Wilson that Noy has better things to do than make time for Paris Hilton. But it's quite possible that his copy of Modern Warfare 3 is not ready yet.

But then I thought about it.:

• Paris born into money and has no skills that sets her apart from adults . Noynoy born into money and has no skills that sets him apart from adults.

• Paris is famous for being famous and saying stupid things. Noynoy same thing.

• Paris has no redeeming value and is often seen with her little Chihuahua Tinkerbell. Noynoy same thing but no dog.

• Paris is a smoking hot ditzy blonde. Noynoy is a chain smoking klutzy bald guy.

• Paris was in a video taken with night goggles. Noynoy plays with night goggles that he sometimes lends to Joshua.

• Paris was caught in a compromising video with a guy. I would not be surprised if one day there is a video of Noynoy in a compromising video with a guy.

Paris Hilton and Noynoy. Which one is shallower? They are so similar. Paris is a tabloid publisher's dream. Noynoy was voted in by our people to the land's highest elected office? Philippines what is wrong with you?

This is a sad story but not really a tragic story. Two days ago, a guy from work was proud to show me his "Iphone". We all know an Iphone looks like this. First a few things about my protagonist. My office mate is a very likable person. You can't say a bad thing about him. Ever. He is good at what he does. In short I like that man. This is the "Iphone" he showed me: He volunteered the price to me which was 5000 pesos. He also made a point of bragging this was smuggled and bought from customs. 1) I can not look up the specs of my officemate's so called "Iphone" online. Which is already a red flag. I know from personal experience that you can buy this phone for a little over 5000 from a legit source. Yes, an establishment that pays taxes. What a concept. You can look up the specs on line. From the brief time I was looking at the "Iphone" , it did not seem to do what most people perceive an Iphone to do. I doubt it even matches to the quality and utility of the legit name brand phone sold at the same price. 2) What is there to brag about inferior quality goods that bypass normal channels and therefore do not add to what little tax revenue this country earns? Chew on that? From what I said so far, I am trying to comprehend the appeal of this so called Iphone. 1) A fake Gucci bag I can comprehend. Though smart people who really know a person will know if they are type to buy fake or authentic anyway so the only people they might be fooling are the uninformed. 2) I thought the whole idea of counterfeit was that it was supposed to pass as the real thing. This is obviously not the case for the fake Iphone of my office mate. 3) One of Shakespear's many famous quotes is " A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" from Romeo and Juliet. It does not matter what you or I or a guy in Bolivia calls a rose but that rose will always have the same look and smell. Now based on that perspective, I am still trying to comprehend my office mate using his so called "Iphone" as a source of pride. It did not look like the real Iphone nor could it do what a real Iphone could do. It was brought into the country by criminals. You saw the definition of counterfeit. It was not even good by those standards.Imagine that, crappy counterfeit. I am just baffled by this episode. I did not want to ask him questions or take pictures. Because I knew in my head that even if I accomplished my goal of enlightenment and education I would be bursting this person's bubble. If I were to ask him questions I am sure he would expect me to ask out of genuine interest over what he was gushing over. But how many times can you have genuine interest over something that is not genuine? In my gut it was not the thing to do. I just find the behavior curious enough to document. Overall I just find it sad that a good educated person fell for this cheap ploy.That's why idiots will always hatch these schemes because there is a market for it. I hope a year from now that he still feels he got his hard earned money's worth. I did want to take a picture of this "Iphone" but could not bring myself to do it as I told you above. But was able to find the pics online. In an article dated March 18, 2007 it shows the exact fake "Iphone" and tells of its existence and it's street price. The real Iphone was launched June of 2007. It also concludes " Hard to believe they will find any suckers for this one." Well I saw it first hand and it is indeed sad for me. Ed
