Adam Carolla Rant on Manny Pacquiao Draws Filipinos' Ire -- FanHouse

By Michael David Smith, FanHouse

The Wild Card: Hard-Fought Lessons from a Life in the RingAdam Carolla, the comedian and radio personality who now hosts The Adam Carolla Podcast, is being heavily criticized on some Filipino web sites for a rant directed at the Philippines and its biggest celebrity, boxer Manny Pacquiao.

Taking a call from a listener on his podcast, Carolla was asked about Pacquiao's refusal to agree to the drug-testing terms that Floyd Mayweather Jr. requested. Carolla called it a "cultural thing" because "he's from the Philippines" and then said Pacquiao's religion consisted of "praying to chicken bones."

Carolla then started discussing the Philippines and said, "Here's how you know when your country doesn't have a lot going for it: When everything is about Manny Pacquiao."

Noting that Pacquiao is the Philippines' biggest celebrity and may be popular enough to be elected president, Carolla advised the Philippines to "Get a fu**ing life as a country."

"Really?" Carolla asked incredulously. "You want some guy with brain damage running your country? Why don't you get your s**t together?"

Carolla also said the Philippines is known for "sex stores."

Among the Filipino web sites criticizing Carolla is Pinoy Gossip Boy, who writes that Carolla, "faces big trouble as he bashes Filipino pride Manny Pacquiao and the entire Filipino people."

  1. ADAM CAROLLA WANTS TO BE FAMOUS LIKE THE KIMMEL SHOW, SO HE IS TRYING TO ATTACK THE PACMAN TO DRAW ATTENTION OR HE IS JUST JEALOUS TO A FILIPINO (PACMAN) WHO IS CONQUERING MORE POPULARITY IN THE USA THAN ANY AMERICAN BOXER IN THE 21ST CENTURY. CAROLLA MUST REMEMBER THAT AMERICANS ARE CONSISTED OF DIFFERENT RACE NOT ONLY WHITES AS HE THINKS. CAROLLA THINKS THAT EVERYBODY IS IDIOT AND ILLITERATE LIKE HIM. FILIPINOS MUST BE PROUD OF THE PACMAN OF HIS ACCOMPLISHMENT AS A BOXER AND HE MAYBE A GOOD POLITICIAN AS WELL LIKE OTHER CELIBRITIES LIKE THE GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA, EX US PRESIDENT AND WHY NOT INCLUDE THE LEADER LIKE THE POLISH EX PRESIDENT, THE BRAZILIAN PRESIDENT MANY MORE. CAROLLA IS THE ONE WITH BRAIN DAMAGE, IDIOT PROBABLY NEEDS MEDICAL ATTENTION .
