last night, i was watching the news, and heard of a news bit about a sequence in the government-owned british broadcasting company (BBC) that made rep. hontiveros' kettle whistle.
it was a video bit about a filipina, featured in the bbc comedy henry & paul who was seen gyrating and dancing maliciously in front of a brit, seducing him, and at one point, being instructed to "hump" the guy.
i wasn't very sure with what i heard, nor was i particularly interested initially by the newsbit, but it did stick to me. and because i knew philippine television wouldn't show the clip so i went to youtube and watched the clip.
SEE THE CLIP HERE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnfZKNJYLRM
after watching the clip, only then did i realize what it meant - the "desensitization of the issues of human trafficking," the continued mockery of the filipino overseas worker, the plight of asians and other colored people in the land of the melanin-deprived peoples, and the irrationality of british sexuality that is anchored on their innate inability to express themselves physically, either becuase they are not physically gifted or they're just one mile short of being plain sexually dumb.
***
the video proved another thing though: there are brits who find that molestation, prostitution, and racial apartheid are funny. to think these guys are supposed to be an epitome of the educated, western culture. culture my ass.
having that bloke just sit there, staring at the gyrating female only made the brits look worse. looking closely to the video, the filipina was actually stoic; she was doing it out of obedience and respect of a worker for her boss. nothing more. she wasn't enjoying what shw was doing. she was just following orders, because at the backof her head she had a family back home to feed, and it wouldn't help if she went all disgruntled against the hand that fed her and the family in 'pinas.
***
the video also strengthened the world's belief that most brits are either sexual tormentors, sadists, or pedophiles. they may or may not directly participate in the act, but they find the act amusing in itself, contributing to the total desensitizing effect of these issues. yuck.

people might say the filipina had it coming; she decided to agree and obey the command, and look where it got her.
but i'd like to put it this way: if she had a choice to stay and work in the country, wouldn't she have done that? the country has no viable work for many of its citizens, forcing them out of the country and into the vicious handsof the white man who sees himself as both the savior and the rightful tormentor of everyone else who has melanin in their skin.

i hope the day comes that we could get brit prostitutes, have them act naughty in front of the cam, and launch the video in youtube... wait, they already have that in England LOL

f*** you, bbc.
hey.
