The Comedy Behind the Hayden Cam Scandal

For the past 2 weeks we've had an overdose of the Hayden-Katrina sex video scandal. But we can't seem to get enough of it with all the twists and turns. But it's also noticeable that this "tragedy" has its own share of humor.

The first big, fat joke is Senator Bong Revilla when he condemned Hayden Jr. in his privilege speech on May 19 saying "Ang tinutukoy ko po ay si Dr. Hayden Kho who is a pervert of the highest kind, a predator who has no conscience nor respect for women". This could have been a powerful statement had it not come from a person also known as a womanizer. Isn't he showing "no conscience nor respect" for his wife too?

The next joke is on Hayden. when he said "Condemn the sin, not the sinner". So Hayden are trying to say, your sin should be the one held accountable? If that is your rationale then dapat walang mga tao sa mga kulungan. Ganon?

The third joke is Mrs. Irene Kho (Hayden's mom) when she accused Manay Lolit Solis, Senator Revilla Jr., Katrina Halili and even GABRIELA (a militant group helping abused women). It was like she's saying everybody is at fault except her son. She even paints a picture of her Hayden Jr. as “matino, mabait, and disente.” Naku naman Mrs. Kho ikaw yata ang lulong sa droga.

Another joke is Ruffa Mae Quinto who is obviously a participant in one of Hayden's 40 sex videos. Pero cge lang deny to the death pa rin albeit the fact that pictures or even videos of them are floating on the internet. Maybe she's still waiting for their "indie film" to be popularized. Todo na 'to!

And the final joke as of this afternoon was a nasty prank when Hayden Kho Jr. is attending the Senate Hearing and all of a sudden an ex cop identified as Abner Afuang splashed water all over him. He was arrested for this. Kho's lawyers then took this as a chance to reiterate their petition to make the hearing "closed-doors" arguing that their client is also a victim of public hatred and shock. But he should not be shielded from this. In fact, this is the least that he has to go through. This is also a result of his own doing. He may not be responsible for spreading the video but he shouldn't have taken it in the first place.
