Alec Baldwin's "Mail-Order Wife" Controversy....


30 Rock star, Alec Baldwin has been at the center of controversy recently due to a joke he made during his guest spot on the Late Show With David Letterman.

Baldwin, who joked, "about getting a Filipino mail-order wife at this point....or a Russian one," has infuriated Filipinos all over the world.

Philippine Senator Ramon Revilla felt that Baldwin's joke was insult to the country, and to Filipinos in other parts of the world. He also stated that The Philippines has very strict laws against mail order brides.

"Let him try to come here in the Philippines and he'll see mayhem," said Sen. Revilla.

All I can say is, I'm not surprised that The Philippines has been joked about countless times. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm a proud Pinoy and I totally disapprove of Baldwin's comments, but with the way our country has been operating the past few years, I'm pretty sure we'll be getting more jokes in the future. It's a good thing we have Manny Pacquiao to help improve our country's reputation.

What do you think? Comment!!
