Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

In another viral clip, a contestant on the noontime show "E.A.T." is thinking of answers for things that can be put around a person's neck. The contestant failed to answer. Then De Leon answered "lubid" or rope twice.

I said before that De Leon's constant jokes about death is dark humor and intended to provoke, so I'm not bothered by this.

But at the same time, our society has progressed already that suicide and death are no laughing matter for some people. Joey, being an old relic, just isn't cut for the world anymore and refuses to read the room and adapt.

If this were Showtime we would see 12 days suspension.

Ok lang ako sa dark humor pero sa tingin hindi para sa TV yung mga ganoon
