Filipino Catholics petition against Bryanboy

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief October 31, 2006 · 1 min read

Listen to article

Nintendo Direct to unveil Switch 2 games for second half of 2026 iOS 27 Beta Is Out, But You'll Need to Join a Waitlist to Try the New Siri AI Everything Apple Announced at WWDC 2026 Image Playground, Photo Spacial Reframe and New Editing Tools in iOS 27 Apple Puts a Siri Camera Mode on iPhone, Visual Intelligence Across All Platforms

So, I was emailed about this one just now and it says:

I am writing to you with hopes that you spread our outrage. We’re appalled that one of the country’s top bloggers is an anti-christ. How dare he make a joke out of Jesus by posting disturbing photos on his blog.

http://www.bryanboy.com/bryanboy_le_superstar_fab/2006/10/jesus_is_our_fu.html

Please spread the word about this sinner and help us with our petition.

Kenneth Ocampo

The post above shows a picture of a Brit guy beside a cross with Jesus Christ holding a bag in a Bryanboy fashion.

I have nothing against Bryanboy and I don’t know him personally (though we had some email exchanges before and he occasionally leaves comments on my blog ) but I guess the pictures he posted is kinda offensive to the Catholic Church.

Caution: The rest of the pictures in his blog are NSFW.

This is not the first time I get emails from people complaining about Bryanboy and the contents of his blog. But it’s not my blog nor I have any control over it. We’re on thin ice here.

He told my friend made 35,000USD a year on his website. Genuis? or Con Artist? You decide..and he also claim that V magazine wants to feature him in a spread but my friend Mauricio( who chat with him sometimes) thinks BryanBoy is a sad hoot. He said that BryanBoy is actually ripping him off..sad:*(

Billions of Antichrists? Wow, that’s even sillier. :P

via · 19 years ago

I’m not catholic but I’m still a christian.
I am always reading bryanboy’s blogs.
About the petition, well that it is really offending to do. But I guess the petition against Bryanboy is practically insane. There are billions of anti-christ around the globe not only bryanboy. Well, if you want to change bryanboy, i think you better pray for him rather than that petition thing right?
He has his own life and I think that he is old enough to think for himself.

_if you hate my comment, i dont care cuz I’m just 12 y/o!_
P.S ByranBoy ain’t God!!!!

Chino Yray · 19 years ago

I don’t see anything wrong with Bryan Boy.com
I maybe a catholic and I do find it offensive but.. as I think of it, I’m not that conservative. There are so many Anti-christs out there and not just Bryan Boy.

There are Professors, students, people around the country and I do actually know some of them.

It’s just a matter of open-mindedness.

Yep, just got hacked today but it looks like someone was trying to get into the server for a few days now since some parts were getting 404’s. You can see the photos here:http://www.putanginamo.com/podcast/2006/11/06/defending-bryanboy/

Sajii · 19 years ago

I clicked the link and I don’t see any photos. I also went to the main page and it looks like that website got hacked.

Where can I see the photos?

Rajit · 19 years ago

Who’s to blame?

No one! If you dont want to get offended, DONT SURF THE BLOODY NET! Nor should you read blogs, yet alone, BLOG!

Stop this nonesense. If you dont agree with me. close the bloody firefow/iExplorer!

AhmedF · 20 years ago

I posted this at J Angelo Racoma’s blog too:

I read the comments, and laughed at all the Muslim comparisons.

Muslims are given far too much ‘credit’ for righteous indignation then we should be. Eg the German play where Muhammed’s head was cut off – it was ‘cancelled’ because of Muslim concerns. Yet again, everyone missed the point – it had run three years ago without a single complaint, and it was cancelled without a single complaint.

Most muslims don’t care. Actually, cut that – 99.99% of muslims just don’t care. There are idiots everywhere, why should we be bothered? It just so happens that portraying muslims in bad light is a great way to get attention. Most of the recent acts attributed to Muslims (hating on the Apple NYC store, shutting down German play, etc etc) had nothing to do with Muslims.

Now, in regards to the Pope’s comment and this – people seriously need context. The pope is the leader of the Catholic Church, and he essentially called Prophet Muhammed evil. This guy is some random stooge who put some clothing on Jesus. While I still think any outrage over the Pope’s stupid comment was also idiotic, comparing this incident with that is reaching. A lot :)

In the end, as long as people are not directly spitting and effecting your lifestyle (questionable if a single catholic has endured any real hardship through this) people just whine.

And lastly – most nutcases only gain power when you give them the attention they so desperately crave. If you were to ignore them, they nicely fade into oblivion.

No, this kid is the Antichrist.

benj · 20 years ago

oh i forgot. I am the ANTICHRIST. I just wanted to make that clear. Thanks Yuga. :)

benj · 20 years ago

Mark Salin: Classic. What are they going to say? Did the bible say THOU SHALL NOT POSE BEFORE PAINTED WOODEN REPRESENTATION OF THY SELF?!

The mere fact that you’re worshipping a piece of wood is an insult to what the religion stands for.

Hypocrites

I wonder what the church will do? Excommunicate him?! hahaha.

Christians. 99% of them are absolutely incapable of logical arguments. they dont even understand their religion.

DEATH TO THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH!!!

And yes, DEATH TO BRYANBOY TOO… he’s kinda annoying as well. haha

ade · 20 years ago

i dont like seeing jesus and fuck in the same sentence.

I couldn’t resist the irony of this sentence.

Mike Abundo · 20 years ago

“christ”: You may love Jesus, but you clearly hate the English language. :P

christ · 20 years ago

please naman, from the start people are making fun of jesus until he gave he’s life to save us all from sin try to think of it until now did’nt we learn anything from the past,., well we’ll just knew it on our death maybe at that time we realized why our soul don’t deserved to take a rest and sit beside jesus and have an eternal life basta ako i love jesus,.,.

SELaplana · 20 years ago

i not actually offended by pictures shown at Bryan’s blog because the Jesus on that Picture is not the true Jesus in the Bible. The Jesus on that picture is just the invented Jesus of the Roman Catholic Church.

brave and brown · 20 years ago

I read Bryanboy’s blog because he cracks me up. I am a Flip who doesn’t live in the Philippines anymore (my ONE good decision in life) because I couldn’t stand people minding MY own business. I posted this comment (in part) in BB’s blog. IT’S THE TRUTH, MY FLIP SIBS. Religious hypocrisy of the so-called Catholics made me an atheist. Hey, maybe I’m YOUR antichrist, too! BOO!

A majority of Flips would brag about being a democratic and being the only Asian Catholic country. But that’s just relatively speaking. Democracy, MY BROWN ASS! Freedom of speech, religion, and the pursuit of happiness are mere lip-service shit. Catholics, yeah right! They can suck my left one, the priggish pissants. Most are nit-picking, self-righteous, two-faced hypocrites who can’t stand seeing other people live a life different from and/or happier than theirs. Just because they’re miserable in their narrow-minded and needlessly judgmental lives, they perversely want everyone else to be as miserable as they are.
Been there, got pissed off, got the fucked out! Couldn’t be any happier now. Live and let live, how hard can that be?

Been through Catholic schools from elementary till college, and I realised I’m better off being an atheist. “I BELIEVE IN NOTHING; EVERYTHING IS SACRED.” —Even Cowgirls Get The Blues.

Lighten up, people! For fuck’s sakes!

Braddock · 20 years ago

Calling all faithful Muslims..when the Pope said something that you feel is againts Mohammad, you protested, some of you even threated to do jihad. If you consider Jesus also a prophet, just like what is written on Koran, why not do this now to Byranboy?

Why not kill Byranboy just like what you did to others who lambasted Islam?

chelsea · 20 years ago

i dont like seeing jesus and fuck in the same sentence.

Frankie · 20 years ago

Damn. I need to start a blog, post the baby jesus butt plug, bloody mary episode of south park(where Mary menstruates), Jesus fucking a baby painting and the Jesus is a negro stuff. I’ll be famous in the country!!! Wow.

issai · 20 years ago

i’m not defending the blogger. i’m just indifferent… and about naked family members on websites… having a naked portrait has its consequences, if its posted in the blog, its just a consequence of having that pic. no hating, just sue that person to his last pair of underwear.

and about making fun of islam and why christians are tolerant, if you want to be violent, so be it.

the more you make a big deal about the issue, the more it haunts you. if you are being taunted, and you defend yourself, the more they want to taunt you. what we’re doing now is just taunting him. and he’s just smiling at us thinking we’re a bunch of raving religious lunatics.

if you haven’t notice, what i’m just saying is NOT TO PAY ATTENTION or else it’ll spread like wildfire…

no hating… what the world needs now… is love… sweet love… get a stuffed bear and hug it, and everything will feel ok

The Ca t · 20 years ago

That’s not hate, it is a knee jerk reaction for an insult to a symbol of faith. As One commenter said in MLQ3, he’s lucky that he did not make fun of Islam or anything about Muslim faith, if he did, he should be hiding by now.

To those who are defending “blogger, can you laugh if the picture of your mother, naked is posted in a blog by some nasty blogger? Will you think it is funny ?

Hello, this is not about a sin. This is about propriety, decency and respect. Gays asked to be respected. They should earn it.

There are many gays in my community but they do in private what they will think will scandalize the civil society and hey they believe in a Supreme Being.

issai · 20 years ago

so much judgement… so much hate… he who has not sinned shall cast the first stone… so hypocrites, cast your stones! and and those who dare judge him on behalf of God, what makes you think you’re worthy of judging, self righteous christians?

if God can forgive his tormentors, why can’t you? maybe because you just can’t… maybe because you’re just human

human mind is too little to understand what is divine… i don’t, do you?

go get your shrinks

Mark Salin · 20 years ago

This blogger is a real insult to the Catholic faith. By the way, i’ve already transmitted the insane faggot’s blog entry to the Archdiocese of Manila & the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines for review & evaluation, and in the next few days or weeks they will be making official statements about the blog entry on national television.

Jun Arevalo · 20 years ago

Never in my mind that a PINOY WILL COME OUT AS ANTI-CHRIST!!! Shame on this blogger!! IF he is an atheist, let it be BUT to picture such OUR GOD in this offensive pose is too much, an insult NOT oinly to CATHOLICS but to all christians and may GOD forgive him !!!

The Bystander · 20 years ago

Though the distinction was kinda absurd, at least Justice Cruz admires and respects gays who have â€œconducted themselves decorously, with proper regard not only for their own persons but also for the gay population in generalâ€. But this â€œboyâ€ is different. He does not have an iota of respect at all for a religion practiced by millions of people all over the world. Had it been the image (assuming there is such an image) of Allah or Mohammad that he desecrated, our brother Muslims would probably make sure that he would no longer see the light of day. Good for him that even the most conservative of Catholics are quite tolerant even to religious atrocities of this nature.

Obet · 20 years ago

I heard it was Bryanboy in the Hetty Spaghetti costume. Anyway, I have to defend BB. It’s not that bad. I would love to see the Church spin this.

Mike Abundo · 20 years ago

Hehe. Nothin’ like a crackhead to spice up the festivities, disgruntledfan. ;)

issai · 20 years ago

here’s another jesus parody

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYRH2jp2wzs

but this is funny… this is not mocking jesus

Alfie · 20 years ago

They are just making bryanboy website more popular, in search engine and public. I`m sure he’s getting a lot of links now. hehehehe….

disgruntledfan · 20 years ago

i hate bryanboy. i had the opportunity to ‘party’ with him last year with his rich socialite friends and they are bitches. it seems he doesn’t go out anymore to party maybe he sobered up his act but i’m glad to share this pic i took with my cellphone. party people beware!

@ ava

IF it were MY blog? I wouldn’t post it.

The Ca t · 20 years ago

Before 9/11 there was a nationwide protest in the US among Catholics to condemn and seek for the removal of a painting in a New York museum where the Blessed Virgin Mary icon was desecrated. This was nationwide reaction where the organization spent millions for the petition.

No one said that there is no tolerance because tolerance is respect for each other’s belief. I am an icon worshipper, respect that. You pray with your head bent on the ground. I respect that. You are a praise the Lord person, I respect that. That’s tolerance.

We may not be religious or we may be an atheist but this does not give us a license to disrespect what other people believe in.

It is against the law to mutilate a country’s official flag. I wonder what will some people’s reactions if they find the photos of their loved ones irreverently used by some people in the internet for whatever selfish reasons they may have. The photos symbolize the families they love. Will they find it funny?

I am not comfortable with the bishops meddling with politics and I abhor the US pedophile clerics but that does not give me the reason to throw the bible in disgust and condemn the whole Catholic hierarchy.

And for someone’s information, this is the second time that the “blogger” did such disrespect for
a religious icon. That first incident was before the article of Isagani Cruz.

Yes, we may do whatever we please in our blog as but there are still some proprieties that we should observe no matter what our theme is.

Define funny.

Ava · 20 years ago

But itâ€™s not my blog nor I have any control over it. Weâ€™re on thin ice here.

Your last statement struck a chord.

Assuming you have control over Bryanboy’s blog, what would you do?

issai · 20 years ago

and another thing… its no surprise bryanboy would offend the catholic faith… since the catholic church are those who condemn the third gender…

another 2 cents plus vat

issai · 20 years ago

yes, He will deal with him at his own time. i believe you are God-fearing rather than God-loving.

i hope we love our God more than we fear him. I believe our God is gentle rather than wrathful.

and to bryanboy, cmon people, this is the reason why religions can’t get along… or is it the main reason why anyone just can’t get along… its lack of tolerance and understanding…

this is the reason why i left roman catholicism… too many judgemental people talking about morality, and being self-righteous. but i believe in a God, i just don’t specify any religion.

i love my God and i also forgive my neighbor…
that’s my two cents… plus vat

DannyBoy · 20 years ago

ooops, this entry will even get him more hits.

ade · 20 years ago

@ Jhay: Nope. What’s so libelous about it? Now if you want real offensive pictures, check out Jesus LOL.

Here also.

(What a way to stir up drama on the Man Blog.)

jhay · 20 years ago

Abe and Ade has a point, it’s his blog. Can the Church sue Bryanboy because of this?

Cathy · 20 years ago

I think the photo is offensive not only to Catholics but to all Christians as well. Let Jesus deal with Bryanboy in HIS own time, on HIS terms. Though I am appalled by the audacity of this person, I’ll leave it to Divine justice. Mas nakakatakot ata yun.

ade · 20 years ago

Ok, BryanBoy is offensive and I am not a fan of his. But it’s his blog, he has the right to do anything there as long as it is not libelous.

Also, The Man Blog also did something like that before (Jesus LOL) and nobody complained? Argh.

The Bystander · 20 years ago

While Bryanboy detests Justice Cruz for his article about gays in scandalous behavior, here he is posting pictures disrespecting religious symbols of the Catholic Church. It may not be Christ himself but he should have realized that he would be offending religious feelings by posting/promoting these pictures.
