Last day of the carnival! Or maybe not...
Monday, May 14

Finally, the hype is coming to an end. No more loud irritating badly-sung campaign jingles. No more annoying "supporters"/paid minions sticking crappy photos on your wall without even asking for permission. No more cheesy and badly shot Pichay ads. No more lame Trillanes posters and that corny TV ad about him being a martyr by sacrificing his own freedom for the "sake" of our country. And finally no more blabbermouths dishing out clichés and shibboleths about tis and tat, making horrible promises along the way. From this day forward, peace will once more rule the streets. Or at least until 2010.

But this also marks the start of yet another "gala" event. With so many actors, singers, performers, etc, otherwise known as people-without-an-inkling-of-how-to-govern-properly running for public office, it is inevitable that some of them would win, cleanly or dirtily. Thus, more monkeys would be at the helm ( as if DOJ's Gonzalez was not enough), and viola, we just took another big step towards a banana republic.

But that's not all! in the next few months, expect the news to cover (mostly wild and insane) stories which would reflect that in Philippine politics, you should never admit defeat, but instead spew out lies about how you were cheated.

And to cap it all off, here are some ads that should have really seen the light of day.
