Dried fish isn't exclusive to Filipino culture as other Oriental cultures like the Chinese and the Malays find it a common staple viand.
I would have found this absolutely hilarious if not for the very last part of the news that read that the nuns are seeking $75,000 for damages.
This the part where I go berserk.
SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS?? ARE YOU NUNS INSANE?? NOT ONLY ARE YOU RACIST EVEN THOUGH YOU CLAIM NO OFFENSE AGAINST THE WHOLE FILIPINO NATION BUT YOU'RE HELL GREEDY! Whatever happened to charity? You wouldn't allow death penalty but you're more than willing to sue an innocent couple SEVENTY FIVE F-ING DOLLARS for a smell that you could not appreciate because of ethnic differences? And "damages"? What exactly was "damaged"? Your nasal passages?? WHAT ABOUT GLORIA'S DIGNITY? How much do you think that costs? I'm pretty sure you can't afford that, human dignity being the most important virtue and all.
Now is it just me or do I smell hypocrites?
Actually the monetary claims that these nuns are trying to put their clammy OH SO HOLY hands on isn't even the main issue here even though we all know that really puts the Church to shame. Whatever happened to human rights? Are these nuns claiming that I can't cook what I want to cook? What if I just so happened to like dried fish and the smell is just absolutely delightful to me? What the HELL is wrong with that? I could care less if you disagreed, but keep it to yourself! You don't see me wincing and calling out God's wrath on me when one of your not-so-hygienic sisters pass by my path. You see, I understand that having to sweat under your black constricting clothes might just be as uncomfortable as I imagine it. I won't even complain even though you have halitosis even though no one could have any excuse to stink that bad. You won't see me suing anyone for polluting the air because of religious or traditional reasons - not even when I so do not agree with how spices ooze out of an Indian's sweat glands and pass me by jogging. I don't even care that many Americans think we Filipinos smell like fish, not like they smell appealing to me.
So what's up in your holy behinds?

Post a CommentI'm a Filipino and I think Filipino dried fish stinks like HELL. It should be automatically outlawed from apartments unless the owners install a really, really efficient ventilation system. The smell clings to your clothes worse than Korean kimchi. Have you lived in winter in new york and had these awful sticky food smells cling to your wool coats for two months? If Singapore and Malaysia can ban durian, I think small apartments can ban dried fish.
I think I smell dried nuns.
