God bless the Philippine media. I mean it. Really. The Philippine media does not sugarcoat reality. No, no. They show you just how it is. Take this motorcycle accident.

It's just a regular motorcycle accident so who cares about the story? We have heard it all before. The picture of these two fools who did not wear helmets speaks a thousand million billion words. Let me enlarge it for you.
The lesson, which no one is going to learn, is WEAR A HELMET!!! These guys might be alive if they had worn a helmet. Maybe not. A van sideswiped them sending them to their doom so the lesson also is STAY IN YOUR LANE!!
Everyone in the Philippines is a bad driver. Everyone except Roland Quitevus who was given a medal by the Queen of England for his work as a chauffeur for the British Embassy. The baddest of all the bad drivers are the motorcyclists. They zoom in and out of traffic and into oncoming lanes and sometimes whole families with infants included are seeing riding together. Will seeing a photo like this help tame those morons? Of course not.
But it sure is a messed up and gory photo which no Western outlet would ever print!
Let me guess. The van driver avail of the Filipino auto insurance known as the "speed away as fast as you can without stopping" policy.
