Why Adam Carolla’s Rant on Pacquiao and the Philippines backfired

Yeah right, we care about it so much, we want to give you a red k.

Bring it on fuk-tard.

Bring it on fuk-tard.

haha, would it be alright if I think about it first?

I c we r ignoring the facts of the comedians rant!

Once again, ppl expressing outrage over what a comedian says but no one is outraged by the fact that pacq is shaming his ppl and country by using the bs excuses that he is using. Outside of the obvious blatant stereotypes, the comedian was right. He stated FACTS!

He/pacq gets a pass for ducking the random blood and urine tests. He pulls the same move that past ped users have when accused/hinted at doing peds; SUE. And his fans support and spew the excuse of the week the whole time.

Then once again we are force fed the hypocrisy when the racists cry racism. If ure not one of the posters on here or any other forum who posts ignorant racist comments then feel free to be outraged. But, if someone can check your post history and see blatant or subtle racial text then have a tall glass of STFU!

Carrolas fans don't give a **** about this. The only people who care are Stupid *******s. And who the **** is Charlie Knoxville? Like his opinion counts for anything.

well, most of carolla's fans came from his radio show "love line". half of those are too busy dealing with some sort of erectile dysfunction while the other half is too occupied suffering from some excruciating venereal disease, so yeah you are technically right...

[ummeed]

I am a Carolla fan.

sorry to hear...

Do you even know what ****ing racist comments people are pissed off at?

So he comments on Pac's blood tests. BIG DEAL. IT'S BEEN OVERDONE. He just ****ted on the rest of the nation for no apparent reason.

floyd is so quick to pull the race card when getting criticized about things such as cherrypicking and ducking, they call it the white man putting the black man down...but when its them doing baseless accusations towards someone else,its ok..........**** them racist classless piece of ****s!

I agree with everything he said about Pacquiao and the olympic drug testing thing, but I could've done without the racist remarks to tell you the truth

Why Adam Carolla’s Rant on Pacquiao and the Philippines backfired
Monday, April 5, 2010

By Charlie Knoxville

I was very disappointed upon hearing the audio of radio host Adam Carolla insulting Manny Pacquiao and the Filipino people, I am American not Filipino, but I felt what he said was very ignorant and made Americans look bad. Carolla is not only a comedian but also a boxing guy, and he is good friends with Jimmy Kimmel who happens to enjoy Manny Pacquiao and invites him on his show a few days before his big fights.

The statements Carolla made were shocking. He really went off on Filipinos; if Adam ever visited the Philippines, they would have welcomed him warmly and with open arms. The Filipinos even fought alongside America against the Japanese during World War 2. The Filipino soldier had so much loyalty to America, and the Philippine soldiers would risk their life in battle for their country and to help the American troops against Japanese invaders. The Filipino soldier was limited in weaponry and they were undersized, but they made up for it with their fighting spirit.

Carolla said the Philippines as a country doesn’t have much going for them all they have are sex tours and Manny Pacquiao, and they need to get a life for following Manny Pacquiao. Most third world countries don’t have much going for them, most people live in poverty, and the dictator Ferdinand Marcos ruined the Philippines economy. As for the sex tours, every country has prostitutes, some poor females in third world countries turn to prostitution out of desperation to help feed their family, or are forced into it, they don’t enjoy it, and are ashamed of it. In America some young females turn to **** to become famous and are proud of it, they even consider it empowering. We live in a country where you can be a whore and become famous, does that make us any better than the Philippines?

The reason the Filipinos follow Manny Pacquiao is because he boosts their morale, he gives the people hope that no matter how bad your circumstance, it is possible to make something of yourself if you work hard and never give up.

You don’t need to be a college graduate to gain the respect and admiration of the people, respect is earned, and earning the respect of a 100 million of your compatriots is an honor not many men in this world today can claim. They see in Pacquiao someone like them, a poor kid from the dirtiest parts of town, with no education, making it to the top and being somebody, now that is someone you should be proud of.

If Carolla knew the story of Manny Pacquiao, he would have nothing but respect for him, instead of calling him an illiterate, brain damaged, moron. Judge the man by the quality of his character not by how rich he was born or what type of education he claims. A man’s character and the way he treats others is more admirable than what family he was born to or what country he resides.

Pacquiao has more class and dignity than many of the Americans I know. It was very strange for Adam to attack a person who treats other people with respect and humility. What is better? Millions of American girls idolizing talentless reality show chicks who act like bimbos and sluts or the Philippines looking up to a man who carries himself with class, humility and earned his fame and fortune through talent, hard work, and dedication.

I hate the Philippines for what they did to black people in the Philippines.
