When Vic and Joey Sniped at Willie

It all began with the infamous clip of Willie Revillame in his noontime rubbish-fest Wowowee where he yet again managed to sink lower by telling his technical crew to remove the live feed of President Cory Aquino's cortege on its way to the Manila Cathedral, off the screen. Apparently, he didn't want to share screen space with the former president.

How none among the top execs at ABS reacted soon enough to the boo-boo and restored the live feed is baffling. Didn't Willie and ABS-CBN executives know that they would not have a media business to speak of if it were not for Cory Aquino and what she fought for? What a way to repay the person that handed you bread and butter.



At yesterday's Eat Bulaga, Joey De Leon and Vic Sotto made a swipe at the controversial host.



It's okay to be frank, but don't be rude. I guess that TV viewers have been waiting for De Leon's reaction on the incident, and boy, they were not let down. Willie "apologized" on Thursday about the incident, but heaven knows he did it only to appease TV viewers instead of express remorse over his actions.

A Willie Revillame Haters group was created on Facebook (everyone is free to join) and an online petition was published to remove Revillame from Wowowee and if at all possible, from ABS-CBN and off our screens for good. Let's hope advertisers will heed the call. Feel free to sign.


Side note: I'm not too pleased about using Ruby as an excuse to utter the word baboy (pig), which clearly referred to Willie Revillame. Do Vic and Joey have a thing against fat people?

Willie is no match to Joey, and now that Vic has joined the fray, it's a racket!

As for Ruby, un-PC lang masyado, but she and the public are obviously used to it. We Pinoys have a lot to learn about being PC, not that it's always a good thing.
