Winnie Monsod: The Chuck Norris of Common Sense

I'm back! Finally, the semester is over and I have some time that is not occupied by a incoming deadline. Without further ado, the post:

By now, you've no doubt heard of or viewed the video of Winnie Monsod addressing her class on their last meeting. If not, YOU HAVE TO! Here's the video:



As a former student of Prof. Monsod, I've listened to one of those last meeting lectures first hand. As a fan of common sense, I've watched her analysis on QTV for certain government issues. If there's one thing to like about her, she makes understanding things seem so easy. It is a joy to watch her videos because they make so much sense. It's like a explosion of common sense in your mind mixed with disbelief that everyone else isn't understanding it. A few of her gems after the jump.



On GMA's huge costs on foreign travel:



My personal favorite, her pwning Mikee Arroyo on live television:





On GMA's huge net worth:



On Ondoy blunders:



On how credit card companies are abusive:



Explaining the C5 controversy:



On absenteeism in Congress:



On the freedom of information act:



Doing a reality check on PNoy's 100 days speech:



On the IIRC:



On sex education:



On divorce:



On the validity of Trillanes' coup d'etat case:



On whether amnesty will stop coup d'etats:



I learned more from these videos than I did with any news report or newspaper article. The thing to not is how she backs up all of her claims with stone cold facts, something that is sorely lacking nowadays.

Why aren't there more shows like these? Why isn't information shown this clearly and simply?

If you ask me, we should have less showbiz news and more ACTUAL news. But for now, all we can do is bask in the eye opening revelations of the one and only Winnie Monsod.
