[...] Though we wish it doesn’t exist, DISCRIMINATION still happens all around us. Abled people dscriminating against the disabled (or ‘differently-abled’, if you want to be politically correct); car drivers against motorcycle riders and vice versa. Earlier this year, there was even that article entitled “Those Menace on Two Wheels” which appeared in Top Gear Philppines which caused calls to ban the magazine among the local motorcycle community. The publisher responded to the issueÂ and the writer eventually apologized. [...]

Mr. Sebastian really did good in stirring up the motorcycling community and “to have gotten their blood pressure going”. He really was so “effective at getting people to think about the craziness on the road and a lot of other things in this country we love to hate, and get them mad enough to do something about it”.

Only thing that bothers me is the way he writes his article. I don’t know the details regarding journalism, but as a common person my common sense also dictates me that his article did not only generalize the biker community but also put their lives in danger by promoting “doing some snaggin himself-wittingly or not”.

Firstly, he should have said some “pasintabi” or say that the article is for “satire purposes” only so as not to give insult to other responsible riders out there.

The above is also true for top gear magazine.

Let’s see where this will lead us and let father time judge this one.
