On Video: "Male Confessions"

I'd start off with the guys featured in this video:

Bamboo - Great conversations with the band! Mostly, si Nathan Azarcon ang bumangka sa interviews. I've no problem with it 'cause I like him eversince Rivermaya days. Bamboo MaƱalac, though, was still himself: a reserved shy rocker! (Isn't it contradictory to be shy and be a rocker?) He hasn't changed much since he left Rivermaya. When can we get to see the rough (and wild) side of Bamboo? I'm sure, this video aimed to interview just him but ended up interviewing the band since they can't get much from him. Hehehe...

Derek Ramsey - What a pretentious prick! Dude, be yourself! All you did in this video was flirt with the cameras! You're not cute (and not handsome either), if you don't happen to know that!

Paolo Paraiso - Question: How could Mylene Dizon go from Ira Cruz (of Bamboo) to Paolo Paraiso?! 'Yun lang!

AJ Dee - I don't know what to make out of this guy! He's neither a looker nor ugly. Neither charming nor unappealing. He's just soooo plain! A vanilla ice cream that is about to melt!

Brent Javier - Oh my! Hands down (there) ako rito sa guy na 'to! His interview is the most honest conversation that this video had. If not for him, I wouldn't buy this one. Definitely God's gift to women (and men)!

Borgy Manotoc - If not for his brains, I wouldn't like this guy. But man, mukha kang tsonggo sa video na 'to! With that braided hair and those enormous lips?! Oh my! The missing link!

Production wise, this video is so-so! The questions were not well thought-of, bad locations, bad sound, bad editing! And please, stop marketing it as a way for women to understand the psyche of men! How could you say that when all you asked were about sex! Women are not just horny individuals, you know! Besides, clearly this is one heck of an exploitation of men featured here! Not that I'm purely against it (*wink wink*), pero gandahan n'yo naman!

Aside from those, this is a video for gays disguised as for women! Oh, c'mon! Admit it! How many women would actually buy this one? Stop manipulating the pink money, Star Records!
