Super Twins Director Denies Sailormoon Ripoff
Tags: Dominic-Zapata | GMA | Philippines | Sailormoon | stupid | Super-Twins | TV | VideoDominic Zapata, director of GMA’s Sailormoon ripoff Super Twins, deserves a medal from me. People like him accelerate the fall of Philippine TV, much to my delight as a Filipino YouTuber.
Prior to the start of series, many have been pointing out that Super Twins is a rip-off of anime series such as Sailor Moon and Amazing Twins. The show’s director, Dominic Zapata, cleared things out by saying, “If you find similarities, it is outright coincidental. Hindi po ako nakakapanood ng Sailor Moon and Amazing Twins.”
He sure “cleared things out”, alright — like a hot stinking fart clears out a room. Oh, and Amazing Twins is a live-action Mandarin series, not a Japanese anime.
“Sabi ng lawyer, you shouldn’t have access to these things. It’s not something na nagawa na dati-[it has] a new story, nice drama and solid characters.”
So a Philippine TV director needs a lawyer to assure him he “shouldn’t have access” to Sailormoon, one of the most popular anime in Philippine TV history? I don’t know who’s dumber: the director or the lawyer.
I hope these Philippine TV dinosaurs never learn that they can’t lie to a connected population. That way, their constant bumbling will provide us hours of amusement before the growth of the Philippine Internet crushes them.

To the stupid fuck who said above that the blogger should not knock darna and captain barbell because they are #1 rated shows in philippines…
Take your stupid head out of ur ass.
THey are #1 only because the people cannot afford cable tv!
And they are force-fed to people during prime time.
They have no choice but to watch that fucking crap.
It’s like saying water is #1 drink of choice of animals–like duh!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with ripping off other crations. People do it all the time. iPOD is a rip off of sony walkman.
But people expect that the rip off results in an IMPROVEMENT.
Look at the dumbass shows on filipino TV. Its not only rip off, but is just about the worst pieces of shit you can imagine.
What the fuck is wrong with this country?
The powers that be want the entire country to be dumb stupid fucks, so that we can be taken advantage of, and say thank you, now fuck my ass too.

Ung Shaider ba ang unang binaboy ng Siyete? At least ngayon alam ko na Survivor naman ung binabastardize nila, pagkatapos ng American Idol at Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader. Bastusan tlaga lalo na yung mga hosts na basura at wla kwenta, kawawa naman sina magkatukayong jeff probst at jeff foxworthy… Pero wla pa rin tatalo kay Joey de Leon. Mula sa lola niyang pumapatay ng press people (na ayon sa kanya ay mga “preskong tao” ang tinutukoy niya) hanggang sa paggaya sa “executioner sign” ni Bernard Hopkins (yung paghiwa ng kamay sa leeg) nung may namatay dahil sa ULTRA stampede… You can fool all people sometimes or fool some people all the time or even fool all the Filipinos watching GMA-7 but you cannot fool me. Hindi niya ako maloloko sa mga good publicity niya sa Mel and Joey… Pinapaikot lang ni Joey ang GMA sa daliri niyang may Pepsi… sana makonsensya ka, pati siyete, hindi niyo madadaya ang ratings ng Diyos…
