Have you guys heard of Flippish? Have you seen their show, Who's that Girl? It has been on news these past few days. I have watched it over the net and for me, what they are doing is very abusive. They are also encouraging the girls to be like that, what I mean is, to do what the guys want because the girls think it's cool and we all know that teenagers these days are easily influenced by bad examples. But their defend was, "The purpose of it was to prove that average guys like him (Johnny M), doesn't have to look showbiz leading man or a hunk to get and kiss any girl he wants." I think flippish should be stop. How about you guys, what can you say about it? Should it be stop or not?

There are a lot of things on the internet that are by far worse than this show and it is ultimately the parent's responsibility to watch over what their children are doing. It's better that the parents educate their child on the repercussions of indulging in such behaviors. I guess we can't really ban the show since it is aired on the internet. What we can do is encourage people to stop watching this show since it doesn't promote anything productive.

Yes of course you're absolutely right. It's the parent's responsibility to watch over their children. I guess you're right we don't have a choice but to guide the children. We can't stop the internet in exploding lots of information. It is up to us.

First of all, if you compare Flippish to any US-based reality show such as Jersey Shore, it is by far not that extreme as opposed to foreign reality TV. It shows reality, and though reality sucks. It is what society is happening nowadays.
Also, why put on the context of abusive content, wherein fact, it’s the discretion of teenagers why do they watch such shows, I mean, blame the kids on why they are watching such internet sites where in fact, they shouldn’t watch it.
Although I agree with you on the take of violating women’s rights, they should also barred contents that shows women being violated, in a way violating wherein they did not ask for the women’s permission to be videotaped.

You have a good point there my friend but my point is, no one will get burn if there is no fire. What I mean is, if there are no sites like that then no one can watch it. We all know that teenagers these days are in their age of exploration, they like exploring new things and the world today is very dangerous because a lot of information is exposed over the net.

True, the world of cyberspace is in indeed tempting to people most especially teenagers. however, they know all along that such website contains adult imagery and content, and they all know that it is bad and is not intended for such audience. It's their fault on why they watch such. in short, they just want to put themselves in a situation that they are exploited.
In addition, such teenagers should be guided by their parents and also should be educated by responsible usage of internet media. it's also best the parents should put a privacy programs over their computers so that teens will not open such sites.

Yes they are also invoking the freedom of speech which they are saying they are just exercising their right. I have not seen the site to date but the way many describe it in the news is that they are not appropriate to be shown on the net as it is bordering to scandalous act.

I saw the news on TV patrol and right now the video is circulating and making waves on Facebook. i have watched the videos on Facebook and at first I was disgusted because of the fact that some of the ladies are still young. they do it in public kissing and necking with a lot of people around them, yes these scenes are not new to us, old for foreign countries, they used to do this but not here in our country. the website should be down immediately since there are minors who can view the website and the videos.
