[badsekktor]

nyahahaha! natawa ako dito! :hysterical:

Malu described the OFW's as smelly, that much was evident. The title of her column gave her away, "stinky linky." She was generalizing, assumed a holier-than-thou position, since she perceived her status in society as a cut above the hoi polloi.

When initially told of the backlash, she defended her actions by saying the article was meant to be humorous, and intended for a certain segment, implying the upmarket, high society crowd. She derided her critics as uneducated and lacking common sense. Of course, such a retort will only fan the flames.

IMO, she decided to resign only because she couldn't handle the universal backlash her column and sneering attitude she created. I guess she didn't imagine it would reallyt put her in a very tight fix.

You reap what you sow (pardon also the pun). I don't think anybody here joined the bandwagon. They retaliated out of genuine concern for the OFW's whom she insulted. FYI, my father was a former OFW, having worked in the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq and Kuwait) for several years from the mid-70's to early 80's. Being called a pig is nothing compared to the insult she heaped to a sector of Philippine society we brand as modern-day heroes.

Things wouldn't have escalated to this level if she had issued an immediate apology, yet she hung tough and stood on her pedestal, like an arrogant, impertinent b*tch.

IMO, she deserves every bit of insult that comes her way, her apology notwithstanding. Tit-for-tat. This is one person that deserves her come-uppance.

About the death threats? I don't think "Lilitsunin kita!!!" counts as one.
