Illiterates

I wonder if all entrants to Pinoy Big Brother are required to read George Orwell's classic novel, 1984. But I doubt it. People who read good literature naturally make sense, in life and in dressing themselves whenever they go out in public. Pinoy Big Brother people, on the other hand, don't seem to be well-read to me. Just look at the ones from the first batch:


Left to right: A man in a white shirt and with hair that a toddler styled, man wearing a pink floral scarf, a girl wearing a pink formal dress and a black fanny pack, a man who can't sing, a woman with no eyebrows, Mad Max wearing eyeliner, a girl who overdid the push-up bra, a generic-looking nobody, a diminutive matronly woman wearing a curtain and slippers, and a very tall four year-old.

What a cesspool of bad taste and useless drama.

All hail

I never fail to be amused by these three, and not in a good way. Kris Aquino, who keeps making a fool of herself as a person, made an even bigger fool of herself as a "talk show host" recently by not even looking up beforehand what a "blog" is and what this is for and how this is accessed, which is really really stupid, as the interview she was about to conduct with a top-notch female lawyer circles around a particular controversial blog entry. And all throughout the interview she kept saying things like, "I don't know what a blog is, I'm sorry, " and "How do you access that? Is there a password." Sheesh. Maybe she should be introduced to this blog.

Cristy Fermin, on the other hand, is just an unclassifiable creature. Not only does she appear to have no teeth and attempts to compensate for said lack of body part by getting another body part highly overdone -- specifically having mega-uber-super-tweezed eyebrows that make her look like Ursula the octopus in Disney's The Little Mermaid -- she also seems to dress in nothing but pantsuits composed of black trousers and tailored jackets with horrid prints.

Boy Abunda, on the other hand, is an egg.

But perhaps we can just hand it to ABS-CBN for putting together these three. After all, if the ABS-CBN could create a Jolina Magdangal and a Willie Revillame, why not the holy trinity of bad taste?
