YOUTHOPIA
By Marylaine Louise Viernes
Declassified Odds


I wonder how some industries still thrive even when only a very small sector in our society can afford to shop. Because of the bad shape of our economy, even those who can afford will think twice about getting that beaded handbag, or those five-inch stilettos.

Although I know that everyone seems to be living on a tight budget these days, I believe a few enterprises can still thrive. To show my support, I have opened my column for some advertisers selling the best products these days! I am confident that many of our readers would buy these items and support Pinoy brands that are world-class indeed; here are the eight blunders of the world!

Speaker Foe with Shen-Shame feature

Foe is the new name when it comes to the best phone speakers! According to the stuck-exchange journal, this is the best excess-sorry for any junkie out there; it can easily be plugged anywhere. It also has a new exciting feature; a recording software known as Shame-shame, or is it Shen-shame? Sales are going through the roof these days! To join the fun, please contact 1800-FOR-HES-A-JOE-GOOD-FELLOW. I hear that they’re also raffling out golf sets, so hurry!

Sucks of Rice

The most affordable commodity these days, thanks to our government’s astounding efforts. Only at an unbelievable price of P18 per grain! Now, do take it with a grain of salt- literally. After all, that’s the only thing we can afford anyway – rice with salt! So, for a hearty, all-Filipino meal, don’t hesitate to dial 123-NFA-LIES now! Hurry, because stocks are hoarded!

Broad bands

This new brand of robber bands has just recently been introduced in the market and has been marketed expansively. Some of its renowned endorsers are local action star Victor “Romulus” Neri, rising sports extraordinaire Hike “Jun-jun” Lozada, and of course, international Mafia-movie sensation Joe D’ Venaggio. These are made of pliable, elastic material that would never break no matter how far you stretch it. It has caused people to band and demonstrate on the streets but to no avail; it just won’t break apart. They are suppler than the government transactions, which can expand to millions. Get your money’s worth for its retail price is only P330! Every office must have these, so get one now and order through 1800-NBN-ZTE-direct.

Power Contract Lenses

These are surely bound to make your eyes see the light! Worth a fortune, these contract lenses are sold furtively until now! They also have a promo; buy one, get another one for free! Squint no more, with these amazing contract lenses that come in different colors, shapes and prices! See yourself rise to power so don’t hesitate to get a pair through their toll-free hotline: 000-IMPSA-PA.

Ate Glue

This has been initially marketed through SMS, and projected to be a world-class Filipino-made product, with the tagline, “SUPER PANDIKIT: Super dikit, super kapit, di matanggal, di maalis.” So there it is; I am sure that this super Ate Glue will definitely be a top product until the year 2010, when people would be starving, but this product will still sell like hotcakes. In fact, this product is even making waves abroad—in the region and even in the US! Please call the hotline at 700-IM-SORRY to purchase. This product exclusively distributed by Malakanya Ltd.

Glotathione

The dream of every Filipino is finally here! The first and foremost, most effective whitening solution that comes in capsule and cream format; known to cause irritation when taken in large dosages, but guaranteed to whitewash in just a few day’s use! Dial the toll free number 330M-$-WHITE-LIES.

FG Denims

The finest, thickest thing you can wear today. Comfort that goes a long way! You can get this piece of rag in two ways: you can buy it directly, or you can get it through a congressional auction. Just inquire through 143-AYOKKO-TOH. Rumors have it that even our distinguished president owns one of these denims!

Blood Banks

It’s kind of depressing for me to add this one in. Well, a bank somewhere is faced with foreclosure after a sad, bloody robbery scene. It’s bad enough to rob a bank, but to rob innocent people of their lives? You tell me. Those interested may call 911-WHOS-TO-BLAME?

I suggest you order from me by emailing me at marylaine_viernes@manilatimes.net so I could at least have a good kickback.
