World Record: I'm gonna download Firefox 3 on Download Day...

Download Day 2008

The cute olympic fox is just so adorable!

I'm not exactly into those set-a-world-record gimmiks... I think they've become overrated.

A positive thing about them is that they've set the Philippines (its towns, products and people) on the Guinness map of the world. After all...How big can you make a Christmas lantern? or a pair of shoes? or a local candy bar? How many grills can you get together to cook the longest barbeque? How many sili can you eat under three minutes?

And running after world records does get the publicity for an information campaign (How many people can you get to do 30 minutes of aerobics exercise at Luneta?), or the mechanism for a medical mission that would benefit those who can't afford medical check ups (How many blood identification tests, cholesterol readings, blood pressure readings, and diabetes readings can be done in 24 hours?)

But add the commercial factor, it just gets... overrated and commercial. Sometimes, just trying is enough to get you in the evening news. How many people can you get to kiss at Roxas Blvd. on Valentines Day to sell toothpaste? How many people can you get to dance at Luneta Park to sell milk?

But I think I'll pitch in this one. Firefox is the best and it just keeps getting better! The fact that it's free justifies the saying "The best things in life are free". We wouldn't be using the internet like we do today without it!
