Art Imitates Life (Again)

Some guy in Big Hollywood remembers a Cheers episode wherein country bumpkin Woody Boyd wins an election, as part of a Dr. Frasier Crane social experiment, while doing nothing but spouting vague cliches and worn banalities like "hope", "change" and whatnot.

There is no need for that social experiment. Just look at Philippine politics. Nary a substantial thing to say. In fact, the only guy who even talks policy is running dead last along major candidates in the next Philippine presidential elections.

Good Lord, just hear Noynoy Aquino III talk out of his ass. There's a walking motherhood statement / cliche / banality for you. Villar is trying his best to catch up though. Good thing Loren "Al Gore Wannabe" Legarda is nowhere in sight, or Noynoy just might have to up the bullshit.
