alec baldwin vs. the philippines

How does it feel to have an entire nation mad at you? Looks like Alec Baldwin's too-little, too-late apology for his "Filipino mail-order bride" joke on The Late Show last week didn't do much to quell the anger of Filipino officials. They've made it pretty damn clear that all is not forgiven.

The actor has reportedly been blacklisted by the country's Bureau of Immmigration from entering the Philippines: Immigration bans Alec Baldwin from entering RP.

I don't know if Alec had plans on going to the Philippines any time soon (Sen. Ramon Revilla's threats to give him an asskicking might be a bit of a deterrent) but he's been officially deemed an "undesirable alien" and is forbidden from entering the country. Moral of the story: don't mess with the Philippines.
