Quality Time With Kylie

Recently, Australian pop star Kylie Minogue visited the Philippines and was immediately kept abreast of the national issues in this country. Here’s a sample of her conversation with her friend, Milkaday. Unfortunately we can only print the excerpts that are for general patronage.
Kylie Minogue: Hey, Milkaday, you must be aware of the controversy over the Milk Code?
Milkaday: What about it? (slurps milk)
Miss Minogue: The Supreme Court struck down portions of the revised implementing rules and regulations or RIRR that instituted an absolute ban on infant formula advertisements.
Milkaday: Please speak English. I don’t understand all these legalese stuff.
Miss Minogue: That means you would have been deprived of many milk products had the Supreme Court ruled otherwise. Something could have happened that would have deprived you a great deal of your favorite drink. But thanks to the court’s ruling, you can continue knowing about all kinds of milk products and drinking them all.
Milkaday: So that’s good news. I can continue drinking all kinds of milk.
Miss Minogue: It’s not good news to the advocates of breastfeeding who would have wanted the Milk Code’s rules implemented, so that their advocacy would be unhampered by the advertising power of the manufacturers.
Milkaday: Put Tang in a glass! I don’t understand this issue. The milk industry and the breastfeeding advocates should not be fighting. But if they insist, I’ll have to side with breastfeeding. Which reminds me (begins to unbutton the Dolce and Gabbana shirt of Miss Minogue).
Miss Minogue: Don’t, don’t please no… ah, Milkaday, no …. Ah!—only five years old and already a rapist!
Milkaday: (murmuring underneath Miss Minogue’s shirt) I’m an enfant terrible, Ma’am.
Miss Minogue: I’m finding out too late. Milkaday! No, yes, ah, no, ah—
