Stoopid Mel!

01.14.2009 · Posted in TV Time

I switched channels. Wwe are watching TV Patrol in ABS-CBN but then the report was about that icky Pinoy Dream Academy overacting singer-wannabe/winner so I told my sister to change the channel to GMA-7. Mel Tiangco of 24 Oras was interviewing ex-president Joseph Estrada about the passing of his mom, Dona Mary and at one point she asked this overly STUPID question… “Ngayong namatay na ang mama mo, Mr. Estrada, napaiyak ka ba? (Now that your mother passed away, Mr. Estrada, did you shed a tear?)…

Is that a stooooopid question or what??? Your mom died. The one person you consider as your inspiration and strength, the one you are very vocal about the respect you had of her. Did you cry???????

If that is not a ridiculously stupid question, I don’t know what is!

  1. Really, she asked that? Maybe she did not know what to say.

  2. @Anna… Yes, she did ask that. She’s a senior newscaster. I think she got confused or something but it was a big boo-boo considering who she is.

  3. I bet she realized later, she sounded stupid ;)

  4. I can’t believe she asked that. What I want to know now is: what is Erap’s answer?
