Enraged while Watching TV

Recently, there were two things I heard and saw while watching TV that made me rage:

1. A month or so ago, this entertainment couple (whose names I'd rather not say for the sake of keeping reality and the universe intact) had a very public spat regarding the guy's alleged other woman. The fact that this pointless issue made the news would have been rage-worthy enough, right? I was wrong.

Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago and I had the misfortune of seeing separate interviews of the two of them. Apparently they've reconciled and things are looking as rosy as ever. Alright. Whatever.

Then I heard their patch-up catchphrase: "Love! Love! Love!"

Seriously? Really?!

Yep, say that in the most annoying sing-song way possible and you would understand my rage. Even the Dalai Lama would cringe hearing how they say those words. It's making me want to gouge babies' eyes out.

2. After hearing the most annoying political ads on TV, you would've thought it would be enough to make you not care anymore, right?

Wrong.

A senator who's running for re-election for the Senate again (despite totally failing in fulfilling his last campaign promise of lowering electricity rates), now had the gall use as his campaign slogan: "Gusto ko happy ka!" (I want you to be happy.)

Yeah, right.

Your political history from the martial law years up to the present doesn't really make me happy at all, man. Your slogan actually sounds more like a threat: I demand that you be happy... or else!

Just retire, old man! I'll give you credit on being able to spin things to your favor though. With a catchy slogan like that and an electorate as dumb as a doorknob, I won't be surprised if you get reelected again.

Dear Lord!
