The more I hear Kris Aquino talking about herself, the more I think that she’s lost it, all sense of reason, any semblance at all of self-awareness, any notion of self-reflexivity.

Certainly one too many people have said that if we don’t like Kris, stop watching her already! And many others fall in love with her, are enamored of her self-declared notions of openness and honesty and sincerity. But one must know—must understand—that popular culture is such that changing channels to where Kris does not exist, i.e., HBO (haha!) will not make her disappear. Neither will turning off the TV altogether mean not being bombarded by images of her (billboards, magazine covers and ads), or not hearing her voice (radio), or not knowing at all the latest piece of dirty laundry she’s washing, or the utter and absolute atrocious display of wealth.
