Adam Carolla vs Filipino Manny Pacquiao. Offends Entire Philippines

Posted on April 3, 2010 by Benny Hollywood

Adam Carolla goes on a rant on his radio show about Manny Pacquiao. It seemed like a comedic and normal radio commentary, but unfortunately for him, the Philippines didn’t think the same way. Apparently, many Filipinos found his rant very offensive and are demanding an apology from the comedian Adam Carolla. Adam Carolla spoke about Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao. Mainly, he spoke more about Manny Pacman Pacquiao. Examiner.com reports: Adam Carolla starts off his tirade by bashing Manny for not giving blood before a fight. He then proceeds to say that Manny is off “praying to chicken bones” and that you don’t have to respect him because he’s a “fu**ing idiot”. “Someone has to tell him that it doesn’t make a difference.” “Here’s how you know when your country doesn’t have a lot going for it: When everything is about Manny Pacquiao.” “Get a fu**in life as a country” “All you fu**in got is just an illiterate guy who happens to smash other guys in the head better than other people” “Really, you want some guy with brain damage running your country? Why don’t you get your sh*t together?” “All they have over there is Manny Pacquiao and sex stores.” “What happens when Floyd Mayweather beats him? Does your country go into depression?” It is unsure how the Philippines and the Filipinos will react to this as days come along. There is already a lot of online anger directed towards Adam Carolla. This Adam Carolla vs Manny Pacquiao or Adam Carolla vs the Philippines match has just started folks! And it seems like it’s going to be a long fight. We’re scheduled for 12 rounds with no being saved by the bell. Each round is one month long! Adam Carolla was the original host of “The Man Show” on Comedy Central alongside Jimmy Kimmel.

Posted on April 3, 2010 by Benny Hollywood

Japan has not restricted its workers to have a leave after a child birth. Nevertheless, they were reluctant in doing so. In the Japanese law, it allows either parent to have up to a year off whenever there is a childbirth in the family. Hironobu Narisawa, a district mayor in Tokyo has been in the headlines of Japanese Newspapers for setting an example to everyone and having a paternal leave. He said he is aiming to change attitudes. For the record, no other local government leader, male or female, has taken time off after the birth of a child. Nationwide, just one in 100 fathers takes any paternity leave.

Posted on March 24, 2010 by Benny Hollywood

The countries Bangladesh and India have been fighting for thirty years over the ownership New Moore Island which lies at the heart of the Bay of Bengal. This very long debate was ceased by New Moore Island being swallowed by the Bay of Bengal due to the alarming rate of rising water levels due to Global Warming. According to the latest news, no more New Moore Island exists and it is now at the heart of the Bay of Bengal deep under it. In a report, Professor Hazra said that the New Moore Island has entirely sunk which was confirmed by sea patrons and satellite images from the sea. She also said that, “What these two countries could not achieve from years of talking has been resolved by global warming.” Global Warming has really taken its toll as the sea levels at the Bay of Bengal have been increasing for about 3 millimeters annually until 2000 and a very alarming 5 millimeters per year from then on to present. According to reports, not only the New Moore Island or South Talpatti Island banished but also around ten smaller islands surrounding it are in danger of being swallowed by the waters of the Bay of Bengal.

Recently Manny Pacquiao released a statement that the bout between him and Mayweather is still possible to happen if he will be challenged by Mayweather’s camp.
