Adam Carolla, a comedian, got the attention of most
Filipinos online with his comments on
Manny "Pacman" Pacquiiao and the
Philippines.
One of
Adam Carolla's comments on
Manny Pacquiao was that he was "illiterate" and that his country, the Philippines, is
"a nation of whores". Illiterate, I agree. Nothing wrong with being illiterate, there are hundreds of illiterate people that have done heroic things.
Did Adam Carolla say "
The Philippines is a nation of whores"?
. No, he did not say that. What you read on GMANEWS or where ever site you read it on is wrong. He never said that, he just mentioned sex tours (not SEX STORES either), which does happen in most countries in Asia. At the end of the call, he even joked about booking in on the sex tour but they told him he confused the Philippines with Thailand. How you people take this seriously is beyond me. It's
ADAM CAROLLA, the drunk dude from
THE MAN SHOW.
That aside,
Dennis Guillermo, a writer from examiner.com says
Adam Carolla started with his
Pacquiao rants when one of his callers on the show brought up the recent
Mayweather-Pacquiao drug testing dramas that shutdown the fight of the century. Or should I say
TEMPORARILY shutdown the fight of the century. I think we all know it's going to happen. They're just building it up to suck out as much money as they can.
Here's what
Adam Carolla said
"If that was a white fighter, or probably even a black fighter, someone would go "what the fuck are you talking about?" "But because he's from the Philippines, praying to chicken bones and stuff like that everyone's kinda like "uhh you gotta respect him for his belief system". No, you don't! He's a fucking idiot". Most people seem to only post the
"praying to chicken bones" and
"he's a fucking idiot" part trying to get violent reactions from his
Filipino fans, not the whole comparison
Adam Corolla was trying to make. Although I don't agree with him on some points, I still don't think he's attacking Pacquiao, is a racist, or just plain hates Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao. He's just comparing what would happen if it happened to a white or a black fighter. That's his view on it. If you don't agree with that, tough.
My view on the whole drug testing drama is that Pacquiao should have never said
"taking blood makes me weak", because that excuse is weak as hell. He should have said
"Who the fuck is Floyd Mayweather Jr. to tell me what to do? I'm the pound for pound champ, I'm the top guy, I bring in the most Pay Per View numbers, you do what I want if you want a chance to beat me." (even if he compromised already).But no, he HAD to say
"taking blood makes me weak". Which makes him look like he's hiding something or is afraid. Stupid move IMO by Team Pacquiao.
Carola's comments on the
Philippines:
"Here's how you know when your country doesn't have a lot going for it: When everything is about Manny Pacquiao."
We don't just have Pacquiao, we also have
Anne Curtis' nipples and her begging people not to spread the video on the internet (yeah, right.),
Hayden Kho's sex videos, and
Angel Locsin being a crybaby reacting to
AN ENCYCLOPEDIA DRAMATICA article. LOL
“All you fucking got is just an illiterate guy who happens to smash other guys in the head better than other people". That's true, I don't know why people are so offended by this. That's boxing in the simplest form, people smashing each other's faces, the better one wins.
Manny Pacquiao clearly is better at it than other boxers. And he IS
illiterate. It's not like we idolize him for his public speaking skills, or his mastery of the English language. We like the guy because he puts on great fights, from round 1 to round 12. He's exciting to watch, and he's humble. Almost the complete opposite of
Floyd Mayweather Jr., known to have a huge mouth and, for some, is really boring to watch. I'm not being biased, I don't find Floyd Mayweather boring, I love watching both "Money" and "Pacman", one dismantles you, the other bulldozes you.
“Really, you want some guy with brain damage running your country? Why don’t you get your shit together?". Again, I agree with
Adam Carolla on this. Why should we vote for another popular guy who isn't qualified to run for public office? We need
Mo Twister to interview him and "grill" him like how he "grilled"
Ara Mina, the
very intelligent exboldstar actress who wants to run for public office and who has no idea or opinion about what happened in Maguindanao.
Manny is one of the greatest boxers ever, but he's not qualified to run for public office. Would you really want a guy who says "
clitoris gloves" to be your congressman? Yes I know he meant to say Cleto Reyes lol. You're a great boxer Manny, please stick to that and don't ruin your reputation by going into politics. It would be better for Manny Pacuiao to train other boxers when he retires instead of wanting to "serve the people". Because when Manny retires, no one is there to replace him.
“All they have over there is Manny Pacquiao and sex tours. What happens when Floyd Mayweather beats him? Then the whole country goes into depression?" Yes, I honestly think the majority of Filipinos will just break down and blame people for the loss of
Manny Paquiao and make excuses for him. Sounds stupid, but highly likely to happen.
Did
Adam Carolla mean what he said about
Manny Pacquiao being a fucking idiot, or the Philippines only having Manny Pacquiao and Sex tours? The answer is
WHO GIVES A SHIT. He's one guy. A comedian. And most of you who probably read this are offended because he said this and that blahblahblah pinoy pride! He's a comedian. Comedians do that. Don't like it go and read/watch/listen to something else, not cry about something so shallow. And before you go to youtube and start being racist and cursing at people who don't like
Manny Pacquiao, read what you write.
"Let it go, get a life, don't live vicariously through some dude who doesn't live there"
Most pinoys can't do this, they feel that they are somehow directly responsible for Pacquiao's success and feel the need to turn things into racial debates over youtube or forums. It's kinda sad, but the man show host is right, get a life.
Pacman doesn't trash talk, you don't need to "help" him by trash talking people, he's going to fight or has already fought,
over the internet. If you racist Pacquiao Fans have enough balls to do the trash talking in real life though, please do, and post a picture of yourself after you get beat up.
Just telling it like I see it, and if you were wondering, I'm a
BOXING fan, not just a
Pacquiao fan. Boxing is a beautiful sport to watch, it's not RACE wars.
