Magic 89.9 - Mo's Forbidden Qs

[C190]

pasalamat lahat ng talk shows kay MO ....dami nila nakukuhang topics na mapag uusapan

[margaux]

Mo was one of our hosts in our Christmas Party last Dec 4. Backstage, he's not that bad, he's nice and prangka lang talaga makipag-usap.... whoever might have said it is just insecured or maybe guilty. It's just the way he is. There's really no big deal about that.

[Isuzoom]

yun akala Mo............

[nugundam93]

hahahahaha inggit lang sila!

mamatay sila sa inggit sa popularity nila mo!

[Isuzoom]

dami na niloko Mo...pati sis ng kaibigan ko niloko Mo....

[baiskee]

dami na niloko Mo...pati sis ng kaibigan ko niloko Mo....

niloko in what way?

i don't think the issue here is MO's personal life....the issue here is the radio program.

[Isuzoom]

Nakinig sya sa program Mo.....

[Isuzoom]

ano akala Mo.........

As a listener, I am wise enough to decide what to believe or not to believe as far as the revelations of Mo’s guests’ are concerned.

Mo shoots the questions, his guests give the answer. There’s nothing novel about the segment or the concept inasmuch as we have had and still have talk shows that follow the same Q&A format. What makes the segment a magnet for controversy is the honesty and straightforward answers of its guests.

I have to differ with Mo Twister’s detractors that he is suffering from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or that he’s been using celebrities to advance his career, and his program’s format has become a tool to destroy people’s lives. Believe me, I have heard worse, I have seen worse – on television.

For years, they have been exhibiting blatant disregard for other people’s sensitivities, and yet, here they are now lecturing Mo Twister on radio ethics and standards?! Such pretense and hypocrisy!

Very well, said.

Honesty and Straightforward two vocabulary words, a majority of Pinoys don't understand in general.

Another problem, is that we get all gun-ho on emotions, really.

So does asking questions like "Virgin or Not", "Swallow or Spit", and "Who You've Slept With" over radio (which can be heard by minors) already acceptable in our society?

If that is (and *** is being used as just another rating booster) then I guess that is a gauge of our society's morals as a whole.

[wildthing]

OT

...society's morals....hmm meron ba?!?

come to think of it, it is because of the "close" and taboo practices of the old times that make us Pinoy's not to talk about *** openly. And it is considered bastos if you do discuss it (***) openly.

Haay...

So... would you talk about *** in front of your kids & parents?

edit: rephrasing... the *** talk that I am referring to akin to the questions posted by Mo Twister (e.g. spit or swallow). informative *** talk (right conception technique, contraceptives, etc.) is different from this.

What makes the segment a magnet for controversy is the honesty and straightforward answers of its guests.

On the contrary, I think the questions have a lot to do with it; after all, I doubt if those celebrities would freely volunteer the kind of information that the show was intended to solicit.

For example, you wouldn't readily admit how many times a day you 'spank the monkey' (or if you even did at all) if nobody had asked you outright (unless you derive a perverse sense of fulfillment in exposing yourself spontaneously).

Being honest or being straightforward is different from just plain being put on the spot. Celebrities are the least to blame regarding the controversy, IMO; understand that they live in a world of popular approval. They can always opt not to answer even a single question that Mo dishes out, but then, what would be the point in their coming to the show? They'd be derided as killjoys, prudes, mga walang pakisama. And knowing how conscious local personalities can be with regard to public perception, individuality and principle will inevitably take a back seat in the name of 'good fun'. This would be true especially in the early days of the program, when people were hardly aware of what to expect. Now that it's being talked about, celebrities might be more likely to exercise due caution in accepting an invitation to guest on the show, and to answer questions at their own risk.

The way I look at it, much furor is being raised over the segment because it happens to be on radio, still the most prevalent and accessible medium around. Believe it or not, not everyone still has TV in this day and age, Internet access can be limited to wholesome sites, and reading materials can be regulated (apart from us still having a high illiteracy rate). In contrast, radio is everywhere; it doesn't take as much effort to listen as to watch moving pictures or read lines of text, it's cheaper than a television set, and many cellphone models already have FM radio reception as a standard feature. You can even buy one of those cheapo radio receivers on the sidewalk for less than the cost of an FHM copy or an Internet prepaid card.

Having never listened to Mo Twister's radio show, I leave it to other people's better judgement on what to make of him and his reasons for being controversial. It's like being in a comedy bar; you know that those comics are going to pick on you sooner or later, but people still go there because they know what to expect. Same thing with Mo Twister's show I guess, now that it's starting to make some noise. People know where it's airing, at what time, and what topics will be discussed. Those who know and understand what to expect can freely listen, while those with different sensibilities will invariably turn the radio off or tune elsewhere.

As for me, I think I'll go get my kicks someplace else. :D

Mazda, I think your views are deserving of a whole new thread for discussion. They are important because they pinpoint something that most people in the country want to close their eyes to.

First of all, *** IS BEING USED to sell everything on TV, PRINT, RADIO, etc. It would be simplistic to say that the use of it to SELL is a gauge of the country's moral compass. Personally I believe we've lost our way a loooong time ago. Tsikot's motorists are witness to this every single day with the barrage of ***ually charged billboards on Edsa and C-5. Almost everything you see on TV has a ***ual spin, Wowowee has half naked dancers that gyrate wildly every other minute (not to mention Willie's ***ual references in his jokes), commercials seen on daytime TV show "performance enhancing" vitamins, *** icons peddling everything from magazines to milk. When you crack open a newspaper, some of the biggest ads there feature implied nudity and invitations to have breast enlargements. C'mon now, a little frank talk about oral *** and virginity offends you? I'd rather listen to a show that will openly discuss it than watch a commercial on TV that insults my intelligence.

Now as to exposing young people or kids to it, I think that only shows the huge mistake in parenting and religious intolerance.

*** is a subject that is often on young people's minds. They are exposed to it no matter what, to not accept that is to live in denial. Pre-marital *** is very prevalent nowadays, as are unplanned pregnancies and abortions. These happen because most people would rather close their eyes to reality than educate their children about *** and its implications. Couple that with a church that forbids the use of condoms and what do you have? The ignorant make the most mistakes.

I'd much prefer that my kid hears this program, laugh at it for its entertainment value, and KNOW what to filter out since I've already taught them about it.

Actually, if you turn on the AM channel, you'd be surprised at the amount of *** talk that is happening there. You'd also be suprised at how many DJ"s utter words like "gago", "tarantado", etc, in reference to whichever politician they happen to be upset at that day. I believe this is called freedom of the press, something that Mo is entitled to, and happens to be benefitting from, hehe. He sure is getting a lot of publicity.

Yes it is widely used but does that mean that we cannot disagree with them (including the questions posted in the Forbidden Questions program)?

C'mon now, a little frank talk about oral *** and virginity offends you?

Yes & No. No - if it was a private conversation between me & my friends. Yes - if you babble about it out on radio which everyone can freaking hear in the first place.

There's just some things that is meant to be left in private.

*** is a subject that is often on young people's minds. They are exposed to it no matter what, to not accept that is to live in denial.

Does talking about oral *** over the radio contribute anything to the proper education of teens regarding ***?

Now as to exposing young people or kids to it, I think that only shows the huge mistake in parenting and religious intolerance.

Parenting mistake? Yes.

Religious intolerance? Am glad our religion accepts contraceptives.

Actually, if you turn on the AM channel, you'd be surprised at the amount of *** talk that is happening there.

The AM channel here in the Philippines are just about news, sappy radionovelas, kundimans, religious programs, etc.

===

I guess my point is that the said program does not help at all with the problems that the Philippines have regarding *** education. In fact - in my opinion - it just worsens it.

I am for proper *** education but I am not for the discussion of it for entertainment over the radio.

The said program might be more apt for Western countries since they have been pretty much successful with educating their teens regarding *** (as what you've said regarding your kids).
