The Sweet Swindle: Quezon City Pharmacy’s Placebo Diet Pills Exposed
Unveiling the Bitter Truth Behind the Sugar-Coated Sham
Introduction: The Sugar-Coated Scam

In a world obsessed with quick fixes and instant gratification, the latest craze to hit the weight loss market promises a solution so sweet, it’s hard to resist. Quezon City Pharmacy’s new line of placebo diet pills has tongues wagging and waistlines shrinking—or so they claim. But beneath the sugar-coated facade lies a bitter truth waiting to be exposed.

Shared Countercultural Roots: The Illusion of Slimming

Manila Satire Photo – Create a detailed close-up illustration of the placebo diet pill packaging from the Quezon City pharmacy, humorously labeled ‘Now with More Sugar!’ …
At first glance, the concept of placebo diet pills seems too good to be true—and that’s because it is. Drawing parallels between the countercultural roots of surfing and the deceptive allure of satire, these pills tap into a collective desire to challenge societal norms. Just as surfers once rebelled against conventional lifestyles, those seeking a quick fix for weight loss are now turning to placebo pills as their modern-day rebellion against diet culture. But the real rebellion lies in the absurdity of it all—a rebellion against common sense and scientific evidence.

According to a study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, participants who were given placebo pills experienced a significant decrease in perceived hunger and food cravings, despite consuming the same amount of calories as those who received no treatment (Smith et al., 2019). This highlights the power of suggestion and the placebo effect in influencing perceptions of satiety and hunger.

When the President Plays Cupid: Sandro Marcos’ Unconventional Birthday Bash
From Taylor Swift’s Wisdom to Bedroom Guides: A Deep Dive into the Marcos Family’s Unique Gift-Giving Ceremony
In a move that’s got the nation buzzing more than a beehive during honey season, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. decided to spice up his son Sandro’s 30th birthday with a gift that’s raising eyebrows and chuckles alike: a s*x guide for the “lazy.” It’s not every day that a president dips into the realm of bedroom advice, but then again, Marcos Jr. isn’t your everyday kind of leader.

Senior Citizen at 30? Marcos Jr. Thinks So

‘Sex for Lazy People’ book is Marcos Jr’s birthday gift for son Sandro
According to the president, hitting 30 is like stepping into the senior citizen’s league. “Since you’re practically a senior citizen,” he quipped, making us wonder if there’s a new policy in the works: retirement benefits for the big 3-0. It’s a humorous nod to the age-old fear of exiting the lively twenties and stepping into the supposedly serene thirties.

Pop Culture Meets Private Life

On one hand, you’ve got a s*x guide from dad, and on the other, a Taylor Swift-themed book from mom. If this isn’t a cocktail of modern parental guidance, what is? Sandro’s bookshelf is now a testament to this eclectic mix, embodying a spectrum that spans from the melodies of heartbreak to the mysteries of the bedroom.

Taylor Swift as a Life Coach

In a twist that combines pop culture with parental wisdom, the First Lady’s gift, “Be More Taylor,” suggests that the solutions to life’s trials and tribulations can be found in the lyrics of a pop song. It’s a message to the young Marcos – and perhaps to the youth of the Philippines – that when in doubt, ask yourself, “What would Taylor do?”

Manny Pacquiao named by Sportico as 22nd highest-paid athlete of all time
From Rags to Riches and Right Hooks: How Manny Became a Contender in the Financial Ring
In an astounding revelation that’s got more punch than a Pacquiao uppercut, Sportico has declared the Filipino boxing legend the 22nd highest-paid athlete of all time. Yes, you read that right. In the grand coliseum of wealthy sports figures, Manny stands tall – not just for his lightning-fast jabs but for his equally speedy accumulation of wealth.

The Definition of Wealth: Pacquiao Style

Manny Pacquiao 2
Manny Pacquiao
When we talk about Manny Pacquiao being the 22nd highest-paid athlete, let’s put it into perspective for the TikTok generation: Manny’s got enough green to make even the wealthiest influencers go red with envy. He’s the guy who’s probably used dollar bills to wipe sweat off his brow post-match because, well, why not?

Statistical Punches: A Wealthy Jab

Statistically speaking, Pacquiao’s bank account has more zeros than the number of fans cheering in his bouts. Imagine this: if Manny decided to distribute his wealth in the Philippines, every citizen could probably get a taste of his financial victory, maybe enough to invest in their own pair of boxing gloves.

Navotas Fishermen Embrace the Slap: Fish Slap Therapy Takes the Community by Storm
Navotas, Philippines – In a town where the sea is life, the fishermen of Navotas have hooked onto a wellness trend that’s as bizarre as it is wet. It’s called Fish Slap Therapy, and it’s exactly what it sounds like: getting smacked in the face with a fish for health benefits. Think of it as a spa day, but instead of soothing music and scented candles, you get a cold, slimy fish to the face.

The Slap Heard Around the Town
Maria, a local who sells the freshest catch by the dock, can’t keep her eyes off the spectacle. “You’ve got to see it to believe it. These tough fishermen lining up to get slapped by a tuna—it’s the weirdest health craze yet!” she laughs, handing over a fish that might just be someone’s appointment.

Survey Says: Refreshingly Effective or Just Plain Fishy?
A recent poll among the fishermen showed a surprising 80% endorsement for the therapy, praising its invigorating effects. The remaining 20%? Well, they’re still trying to get the fish smell off their faces.

Chinese Navy Wives' Association Declares: Water Cannon Overuse Compensates for Husbands' Bedroom Blunders
Chinese Navy's Water Cannon Frenzy: Compensating for More Than Just Territorial Disputes?
A Deep Dive into the Aquatic Overcompensation of the Chinese

In a startling revelation, the Chinese Navy Wives Club Association has cast a unanimous vote, suggesting their spouses' fondness for firing water cannons in the South China Sea might just be compensating for shortcomings closer to home—specifically, in the bedroom. Yes, you read that right. It appears that the Chinese Navy's aggressive stance in the disputed waters might be more about proving something to themselves than about territorial claims.

From the Bedroom to the High Seas: A Watery Compensation

It's not just about asserting dominance over the Philippines or other Southeast Asian neighbors; it's about asserting dominance, period. But why the water cannons? Well, as one anonymous wife put it, "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, drench them with water." It seems that the Chinese naval forces are taking this advice quite literally, turning their ships into oversized sq**rt guns in a bid to make a splash on the international stage.

Slave Reparations and History

CNN Don Lemon shut-down over slave reparations

OPINION: Slave Reparations

Don Lemon roasted over royal expert’s answer on Britain paying slave reparations.
Last night on CNN Don Lemon pushed a royal scholar named Hilary Fordwich to join him in lending credence to the slave reparations narrative that we’ve been hearing about. The left wants the royal family to distribute some of its billions of dollars in wealth to the descendants of slaves and people who are living in former royal colonies. She didn’t support their agenda, not one tiny bit.

The assistant producer who scheduled this might be out of a job. Perhaps CNN just paused and then moved on; it’s CNN, and they frequently take race issues for granted.

Don Lemon expected full capitulation from his guest which is what everybody expects on hyper-sensitive issues like this. It didn’t work out that way.

The United Kingdom was the first nation in the world that abolished slavery. It was started by William Wilberforce who opposed slavery; they abolished slavery. Two thousand sailors died on the high seas trying to stop slavery. Why? Because the African kings were rounding up their own people; they had the cages waiting on the beaches, waiting for the mostly Dutch slave ships. No one was running into Africa to get them and I think you’re totally right if reparations need to be paid we need to go right back to the beginning of that supply chain and say who was rounding up their own people? Absolutely Africa is where they should start. Also maybe the British sailors that died on the high fees, trying to stop the slavery, those families should receive something too I think. African nations paying slave reparations; it’s an interesting discussion. – Hilary Fordwich

Peter Bogdanovich, the Oscar-nominated writer-director of The Last Picture Show whose career, which also included hits like What’s Up, Doc? and Paper Moon, put him on a path toward living up to the example of those like Orson Welles and John Ford he so lionized, has died. He was 82.

He made a splash early in his career with 'The Last Picture Show,' 'What's Up, Doc?' and 'Paper Moon' and served as a surrogate film professor for a generation.

Screenwriters vs. Zombies
STAGE PLAY –Screenwriters vs. Zombies
Screenwriters vs. Zombies
Screenwriters vs. Zombies
Blind Barista: Young. Not a screenwriter, yet. Blind from birth but choses to work across the street from the epicenter of Hollywood power. He serves Hollywood’s second most sought after commodity, coffee, and he listens. He’s the most perceptive of the group. Screenwriters vs. Zombies

German Poacher: A screenwriter in his early 40s. Writer of Tobit, an adaptation of the bible’s Book of Tobit. His selling strategy is to appear as religious or non-religious as possible, depending on who he’s speaking to. Sometimes he confuses who he’s speaking with. He’s a member of a L.A. parish, a church, a synagogue, AND a mosque. Screenwriters vs. Zombies

Myra Breckinridge: A le***an woman in her early 20s. Writer of Wichita. It’s a script about a le***an Native woman, who learns to turn plains animals into zombies as a weapons against the Texas Rangers who betrayed her father and butchered her village. She’s all about revenge. Works in a CPA’s office and in her spare time she completes bogus documents for the IRS that show just the correct pattern to trigger an audit for the oppressive filmmaker. Screenwriters vs. Zombies

Frances Houseman: A less than elegant woman in her late 20s. She’s the writer of the only Christmas Rom-Com set in Minneapolis. She’s the antithesis of the movement and has always used her body and s*xuality to get what she wanted. She might be the only one in the group that is politically correct. She is the most sensitive of the insensitive disgruntled rabble.

Turtle: A surfer in his late 30s. Writer of Verity’s Surfing Movie, which is about a woman with Alzheimer’s and is hanging out with a young tribe of surfers as a way of coping with and fighting the disease. Perhaps Turtle was a professional surfer, if there is such a thing. But drugs and age pretty much ended any subsidized travel he had. Routinely, pitches nails in industry parking lots. Basically, he is Jeff Spicoli. Screenwriters vs. Zombies.

Screenwriters vs. Zombies
Screenwriters vs. Zombies
Eric Cartwright: Black writer in his 30s. He has a right-wing and western gait. He is huge, wears boots and carries a .38 in his right boot. He’s the writer of the 10th Cavalry. He only became interested in writing when some “genius,” the morning after the Oscars, remarked on GMA that black actors weren’t winning because “they are being forced to act out roles written as white characters,” roles written by white writers. Once, burned an agent’s luxury car and called five cops and an insurance investigator and told them it was insurance fraud.

William Adama: Hispanic. A former soldier, failed screenwriter, and handy man with surveillance. He’s written a script called The Deuce Four, where a platoon allows themselves to be transformed into vampires rather than lose a battle in Iraq. They keep the position and unleash vampiric hell on the terrorists, who have their own vampires. He could have gone into one of the intelligence services, but he spent his educational allotment on a community college film arts degree. He eaves drops on the big player’s phone calls. Hacker and movie pirate.

The Professor: A screenwriter in his late 70s. Retired professor and writer of Lenin’s Body, a script that was dramatically (miraculously) bought by the Russians. He’s gained a bit of acceptance with the establishment for accomplishing such an impossible feat. But, he’s being (informally) ostracized by the less fortunate writers who have formed a fraternity of ignored writers.

Joe: A writer who is there only a moment but has a reputation for suing anyone who makes a baseball movie.

Prologist: Just another messed up writer.

Here Today: Here and then you never see him again.

Undead Talent Agents:

Sam Rothstein
Max Cohen
Les Grossman
Premise: A blind barista and six screenwriters witness a zombie event from a coffee shop, which is directly across the street from the dominant Hollywood talent agency.

Setting: Los Angeles coffee shop.

Time: The present.
