    i love 30rock... haha! talagang yun lang ang comment!

    i agree actually. we take offense at the slightest provocation even when said provocation rings true. we love to dish but can't take. the best response is always action, rarely, if ever, talk, which is all that this esteemed senator from aldrin's beloved province can do. ;)

    I was thinking the joke would still be effective had the phrase pertaining to the nationality been dropped. The punch line lies in getting a mail-order bride, or is it about the nationality of the bride?

    I think people should be taught how to properly choose and use words. Adding (or subtracting) words in a sentence changes the meaning of a statement (or a joke).

    You have a point there, Niel. I was waiting for someone to say that. And I agree with you in essence.

    However, I think it was also important to mention the nationality. Our people need to realise that, in one way or another, the issues that trouble our society have to be addressed. Immediately. People will continue to make jokes about our mail order brides unless they cease existing.
