Bebot, The "stereotypical" video. Options

So I was watching the Filipino news, and apparently a whole bunch of people (read: offended Filipinos) are complaining that the new BEP video for "Bebot" exploits stereotypes of Filipinos, specifically:

Virgins
Whores
Shrilly Mothers.

Okay, Filipino mothers ARE shrilly, well at least, my mother is.

And I get the stereotype of the virgin thing, and the whore thing, I guess that's when we become 18 and get out of parent's house.

Sure, the video isn't exactly helping the idea that Filipino girls don't show their midriff every single frigging day once they can go clubbing, but the Shrilly Mother thing is true. Totally, totally true.

Thoughts?

Oh yeah, and you have to skip the beginning of the video, it doesn't seem like it has very much to do with the video for "Bebot".

I think i like the VERY beggining of generation two instead of the video itself. The part that goes "hey dad have you seen my xylophone?.." It cracks me up every time, I tried it on my dad and he said the same thing. The generation two video wasn't what I expected the video for bebot to be like, generation one was more like it. I do like the whole mom part because it was so true.

Offending? No, I don't really find it offending at all.
