Breaking mediocre world records
We have all seen the Joy dishwashing liquid commercial that claims to have the most washed plates per single pack sachet. We have also heard of the record breaking simultaneous kiss-off at what seems to be an annual tradition at Close Up's Lovapalooza (if I ever got the spelling of this word wrong, I don't and won't give a shit so don't bother correcting). Now, we have on Yahoo! News something equally mind-numbing. The country, by pooling an amazing 10,800 strong headcount comprised of gradeschool students from several schools in Metro Manila, tries to dethrone China of its 10,240 world record on "simultaneous brush-off." The pitiful children are taken alongside the Baywalk area, assuming this is what Yahoo purports to be the seaside Manila park area, to simultaneously brush their teeth to also promote the fight against tooth decay.
Ok.
I give you guys a weak, non heart-felt, Go, team Philippines! shoutout.
If I were a parent and my kid was dragged for this cause over a weekend, I don't know. I may just have to shout at the organizers for pulling something like this. It's not even worth a single bragging right for the individual participant! Neither can they later put it on their rèsumès.
Pathetic.

years from now, a couple will get together, and talk about the brush-off as we talk about... uhm, people power.

"oh my god! i was there, too!"
"wow, imagine that. it's fate."
