Jim Carrey's new TV show Kidding is a surreal look at a man who hosts a kids show very reminiscent of Mister Roger's Neighborhood called Mr. Pickles' Puppet Time. Along the way he has to battle his personal problems and uses the show as a sort of therapy outlet for himself. In season 2 Carrey, Mr. Pickles, is dealing with a divorce and says to his audience, "Divorce is for the best."
Over in Manila the PNP enter a sari sari store and begin stealing snacks. On the TV a localized version of the show Mr. Pickle's Puppet Time is playing. They hear the local presenter repeat the line, "Divorce is for the best," and immediately raid the studios because divorce in the Philippines is illegal. They then toss the man off a roof.
The producers of this show could have chosen any country in the world for this scenario but they chose the Philippines. This is how the world sees the Philippine National Police. As thieves and killers. Now why would that be? Surely it's just black propaganda and not based on any reality right?
If the shoe fits.....
