Real Life Trolling

Just goes to show how much social media has helped free inhibitions from actual etiquette.
Staying Alive for the Empire

Here’s a little throwback of galactic proportions.
Institutionalized Extortion
by allancarreon on Aug.28, 2017, under My Life, Snark, Society
The consumer in me will be happy if Uber goes back online this coming week given that the insidious LTFRB has already given the recommended fine for lifting the one-month suspension.
You know, just a mere and very sane 190 Million Fucking Pesos.
But the responsible citizen in me thinks they should give Shriveled Man and his sidekick Nostril Girl the middle finger and just serve the remainder of the suspension period. There’s only about two weeks left anyway, and if that’s what it costs to defy institutionalized extortion, I can – as a consumer – live with it.
I so would watch this mash-up.

It’s just absolute gold.
A Gag of Thrones
by allancarreon on Aug.15, 2017, under Film & TV, Snark
Speaking of hilarious Game of Thrones videos, I just remembered some gems from Seth Meyers and Jimmy Kimmel. They’re pretty much throwbacks at this point, but these gags are definitely still hilarious.
I will never get tired of watching Kit Harington. He can just sit there, staring into space and doing nothing, and I will watch him. If he mumbles anything at all with his British accent, I will throw myself at him in wild abandon.
Thais say be a good girl.

And I couldn’t agree more.
Memories of Maritess
by allancarreon on Aug.04, 2017, under Film & TV, Geeky, Snark
Maritess will never, ever grow old. And with Justice League coming out later this year, it’s just but awesome for me to dig this out of YouTube – oh, and for the record, I first saw this years before YouTube ever even existed.
Go, go, Maritess! Happy Friday, everyone.
No, Esquire, Manny no longer deserves our respect.
by allancarreon on Jul.04, 2017, under Snark, Society, Travel & Culture
A recent article from Esquire Philippines, published the day before the Pacquiao/Horn boxing match, posits that Manny Pacquiao still deserves our respect, at least respect for him as a boxer if not as a politician or whatever new persona he’s decided to pursue (preacher? basketball player? who knows what’s next?).
Perhaps if this were the year 2008 and Pacquiao still had not said and done all the things he has managed to say and do in the last few years.
But alas, it is 2017, and we cannot discount everything that Pacquiao has contributed (or not contributed) to our country’s socio-political climate since then. We cannot discuss him in a vacuum when the cultural discourse surrounding him has radically changed because of his own appalling words and actions.
Shutty upeth, Piers.

Piers Morgan, he who is an international douchebag, just routinely gets owned by people, including J.K. Rowling herself. Who the fuck thinks he can take on J.K. Rowling, especially on social media?
However, the best this year, so far, goes to his Good Morning Britain co-host Susanna Reid, whose epic #shade will go down in history. Check it out.
Should’ve Been A Sperm Whale
by allancarreon on Jun.30, 2017, under Film & TV, Snark, Travel & Culture
This Thai commercial I watched a few months ago still has me cracking up. That was quite a… climax. It would’ve even more hilarious if they’d used a sperm whale instead.
TGIF! Enjoy the coming weekend. We’re halfway through 2017, damn.
