The "Popular Kunwari" Delusion Part 2: Fake Wikipedia, Fake Fans

 More about the propaganda fiction used for the so-called Korea Wave. In the introduction, we described how the Wikipedia, the supposed final information arbiter, was faked to create a bogus final reference which indicated that programming in Philippine TV was adjusted to accomodate the Korean dramas and a major program like The Buzz was cancelled to accomodate the koreanovelas. They were obviously trying to suggest these dramas were so popular to merit being "laundered" in Wikipedia but in reality were so unpopular as proven by their low ratings, prompting Abscbn to stop airing them altogether eventually. They destroyed the credibility of Wikipedia just to sell their propaganda.

This very public falsification also betrayed the propensity to meddle in programming in the push to show those dramas. The pattern is constant throughout the world. "Fans" protesting Brazilian telenovela & Japanese anime to get their time slots in the Philippines. "Fans" protesting in Peru which later resulted to the grabbing of the time slot of a Pinoy teleserye.

 Fake Wikipedia. How about fake fans? You barely hear any of their songs. They constantly have poor ratings. Where are these fanatics coming from?

There are tricks. Perhaps even Pinoy producers can learn some, at least the benign ones. Before we delve into the murkier side in the rest of our series of articles, let us learn one benign trick which we could use. I never saw the Pinoys used this trick. If you owned a cellphone, you must have received a text message many times a day, many times a week informing you you got 3 raffles for a concert of a band which you never heard. They were shooting many birds here: promoting the band, making sure the freebie hunters will bite a free ticket to ensure the presence of an  audience, pretend they are really popular to merit such telco attention. They send these messages many times a day almost everyday many months before the concert. A stadium full of free tickets?

 Perhaps, the trying hard Pinoy artists can imitate this. This is obviously expensive but consider it as a capital to pump up a career. Similar pump up tricks is buy your own records to make it appear the number 1 in the best-selling chart, never mind if the people never heard any of your song. The publicity might just work (of course, you need a propaganda infrastructure to disseminate the news). The trouble is you might be buying for a long time & still your career won't start. Hmm, seems familiar?
Here's the secret to have an Audience if
an act is unknown: FREE tickets

  3. Meron din naman sigurong fans, kahit saan naman merong uto-uto o sinto-sinto. Ang ginagawa nila ay mag-create ng ingay para ang kokonti isipin napakarami nila. Useless kasi tsamba lang naman ang kanilang paminsanminsan na hit, karamihan ay semplang. Kaya nagpipilit sila makialam sa programming para mas marami mapalabas, mas may tsansa na makatsamba. Yong isang tsamba sa sangkaterbang palpak uulit-ulitin ng propaganda nila to make it appear popular sila. Pero sa dami ng palpak, matagal na dapat silang di ipinalabas kasi napakarami ang nasayang na oras na mas maganda sana napalabas. Nasasacrifice ang programming sa mga ilusyon ng mga Koreano

    1. Dapat kasi gumawa na rin ng fake fanatics ang mga Pinoy. Mga dalawa lang naman kelangan sa bawa't language yan: gawa sila tigsasampung account. Actually di naman ganoon karami ang mga ginagamit ng mga Koreano sa propaganda machine nila. Sa Kazakhstan naman, wala namang Korean drama na pinapalabas sa 31Kanal so pwede nilang isnabin ang mga Korean fake fans dyan. Marami nga ring Korean ethnics sa Kazakhstan na tinapon ng mga Soviet doon noon pero fans sila nina Lizquen at Kathniel kasi magaganda raw. Syempre exposed sila sa tunay na maganda kasi multi-ethnic ang Kazakhstan na kung saan sila lumaki, alam nila ang tunay na maganda
