SOLARtv Olympic Coverage FAIL

Burnt beyond Recognition, Image from theBlocker / Grabbed from Vancouver Olympics Website

For our 2nd Ang Pangit Naman Nito, I have to tell you the epic stupidity that Solar has done again.

We all know what Solar did to the 2008 Beijing Games, where they never sent a strong delegation to man the Philippine IBC at Beijing (it’s only one flight away, people! And the Chinese Embassy is all out to give visas during that time) and instead sent Vitto Lazatin, Shaan Bermudez-Hizon, a cameraman, a producer and a technical specialist to the Press Center just to interview some key people during the Olympic games.

Smart lad, to slip betimes away
From fields where glory does not stay,
And early though the laurel grows
It withers quicker than the rose.

- To An Athlete Dying Young – A.E. Housman

This reminds me of the famous poem that Jim McKay, the Late Olympic Coverage Veteran, read at the closing ceremony of the 1972 Munich Summer Olympics, the Olympics that was marred by terrorism with the death of the Israeli team.

38 Years later, an Athlete died at the morning of the Opening Ceremony of the Games of the XXI Olympiad, the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games.

Level-Up Philippines' Recognition of their Otaku's Verdict win

Inching Closer to Über-Alles Status

Just look at the highlighted yellow box on the left side.

This is what you call Uber-alles (above all) status.

We didn’t know it at first, But it was a surprise that made my day more complete. Zen Otaku Honbu has now moved on to uber-alles status with Grand Chase’s recognition from Otaku’s Verdict, side by side with Ozine and GamEX

They Warned their Counterparts.

They Warned their Counterparts.

So, they’re warning their counterparts on ABS-CBN’s Application for Otakus,

Well, this is our first Ang Pangit Naman Nito! post (coined it from Ompong Plaza who said the phrase in the wiretapping scandal investigation) about this very very stupid “spoof” about ABS-CBN Animation’s search for the best otakus to work in the country’s largest network.
