2010 RP Elections Discussion Thread

Good article/rant:

I call it the Wowowee-fication of Philippine politics. It’s the tyranny not merely of the image, but the most crass, the tackiest, and the most desperate image possible, hoisted down to the basest sensibilities and the lowest common denominator. Dignity takes a backseat to recall. Noise and frippery over sobriety. Drama over discourse. Bullet points and infectiously dumb catchphrases over well-articulated platforms. These are basically the same elements used when selling corned beef and sanitary napkins. This corned beef is not tuna. This sanitary pad makes you feel like you’re walking along a summer field in Southern France. It should have the ability to address the short attention span, create an illusion, and pummel your message even into the densest of crania, preferably with pom-poms and gyrating girls in bikinis.
