If you havent seen the infamous Harry & Paul episode yet, specially those who typed in different keyterms to look for the video in Youtube (yep I cant find it too).
Here’s a brief recap of the show: comedian Harry Enfield told a postman that he was “shouting at his Filipino maid” to get her “to do her job and get his friend Paul Whitehouse to mate with her.”
The young Filipina househelp was portrayed wearing a grey uniform and an apron, “gyrating and dancing lasciviously.”
“He kept ordering the girl to gyrate and dance in front of Paul and even instructed her to hump him,”
You should see the video (preferably in Youtube, LOLZ) and tell me how desperate the show was to gain TV Ratings.
Meanwhile, just got this update:
The British Embassy in Manila said today that the United Kingdom continues to recognize Filipinos as important part of the British society for their contributions to the scientific and service sectors. However, it did not issue an apology for the portrayal of Filipino women in a popular comedy show as sex objects.
“The UK respects freedom of expression and the free exchange of ideas. The BBC has editorial independence, and views expressed/portrayed by the BBC are completely independent from those of the UK government,” the embassy said.
If I expressed freedom of expression through a blog, by posting insensitive and disgusting issues about Brits, will it qualify me as a highly civilized person? I thought so… hehe
“We are not asking BBC to be politically correct. What we want them to recognize is that the exploitation of women should not be used as an object of ridicule. The media should be a partner against human trafficking, and not an unwitting promoter of abuse because of insensitive and racist portrayals of women in trafficking.” - Delon Porcalla (Philstar News Service)
Get even? Just for fun, let Cristy Fermin & Lolit Solis write an article about them. Do I hear a “yay” from Congresswoman Risa Hontiveros? Hahaha.
I think that’s how far they’ll (Harry & Paul) run to pull off a “hilarious” skit and their ratings, bloody rude if you ask me. That’s ok, we’ll wipe the dirt off in a few days… oops I forgot we dont wipe… we bathe! *cough*cough*
Well, I've seen that episode on YouTube. I'm calling all Filipinos to HELP ME FLAG THIS VIDEO and be REMOVED. And also please FLAG the USER.
