Scandals and Scandalous Free Riders

If you look at Google Trends today, you'll find that the most searched item in the net seems to be about calorie restriction diet plan. Interesting is'nt? Despite the recession in the United States, people are still conscious of their diets.



It would obviously, not be true in the Philippines, where 2.1 million Filipino families are experiencing hunger. If they have their own PCs, maybe, they're be looking for "jobs", "work" or simply " how to get food the easy way."



I looked and saw that it's "scandals" and "cabal" that remains as some of the top search words that Filipinos look for. Of course, Marian Rivera seems to be the top female celebrity and Rihanna is going on second place. Paris Hilton remains a hot Pinoy sexual fantasy as Radnarok games.



However, in the blog sphere, people are quick to ride the crest of popular discussion. For example, I know of a blogger who'll jump right straight to the fire of irrationality just to increase hits on his site. He'll write entries without even a batt of an eyelash, again, just to get those hits.



Scandals are staple food for those intellects rotting in those coffeeshops. Worst, there are free riders who will just join the melee and the popular ride just to gain hits.



As what my friend used to say, they are the legitimate scums who try to bully their way into national (un)consciousness just by the click of their cheap laptops.
