I am always in awe of people who pass their moronity off with grand gestures and seemingly intelligent speeches. Many of them are usually people who are distinct, powerful and popular. Here in the Philippines, we have an abundance of politicians who are obviously morons with lots and lots of money to bribe the ignorant poor to vote for them. Some are just plain dumb and take every opportunity to grandstand for media exposure. This is very true of former Senator Jamby Madrigal and eternally oppositionist Senator Alan Peter Cayetano. Others would rather keep their mouths shut particularly because they have nothing of essence to say or do. They sit there in their chambers oblivious to what is going on around them just because they most likely don't even know the difference between a law and a bill and have no business at all in the first place to be sitting there. Hello Senator Lito Lapid and Bong Revilla. Hello Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
Recently, another self-important lawmaker of questionable IQ emerged and is trending worldwide for trying to stop a trend worldwide. Essentially, he wants to stop this:

Representative Winston Castelo has lost his marbles. He wants CHED to be like a guidance center telling the students they could not do this, they could not do that. Planking is a stupid exercise that is meant for plain harmless fun. The bill itself is restricted only to students in universities and colleges who will do planking as a form of protest. Planking has almost always been used by militant groups holding protests in the streets virtually to try and stop traffic so that motorists and pedestrians will be forced to listen to their plights until the police will come to drive them out. Mr Castelo wants to make an impact because he feels so strongly about the matter he drafted a new bill to permanently cement his demented state of mind in the lower house:

So he goes inside a mall, gets irritated by the fad and with sunlight from heaven washing his face, he has an epiphany. A realization so grand and great his heart could not contain. I will make an anti-angry birds bill. Yes, I will make an anti-angry birds bill! Which, if approved into law, means people like this could get jail:
It's no wonder why common sense is hardly common nowadays. I feel sorry for the people of Quezon City, they have a donkey to represent them. Apparently, he is the Grinch of anything that is a popular temporal craze. With a lot of things going on in this country, with reforms that need to be in place, a lawmaker opts to make bills that are a reflection of himself: a moron.
i thought it was just a joke. a made up story. a fictional House Bill. like the photoshopped DPWH people cleaning up Manila Bay, was it?
