TV networks are now using memes to promote their shows, proving that online is the way to go. Take, ABS-CBN, for example. Their upcoming show The Legal Wife has a slapping scene between Angel Locsin and Maja Salvador, and screengrabs of the incident have found their way online. It didn’t take long before memes were generated using these screengrabs.
Some are actually funny.
A few of our faves:
The one that involves Gerald Anderson’s ex-flames

The one where Angel reminds Maja of her sluttiness

The one where Maja failed to watch Angel’s favorite show

The one that involves Chicser

Even the upcoming ABS-CBN show Dyesebel has its own memes now, right after it was announced that Anne Curtis will be donning the fish tail.
[[{“type”:”media”,”view_mode”:”media_original”,”fid”:”44793″,”attributes”:{“alt”:””,”class”:”media-image”,”height”:”600″,”typeof”:”foaf:Image”,”width”:”743″}}]]
And yes, it still involves that “I can buy you”/slapping incident in Prive.
[[{“type”:”media”,”view_mode”:”media_original”,”fid”:”44794″,”attributes”:{“alt”:””,”class”:”media-image”,”height”:”600″,”typeof”:”foaf:Image”,”width”:”702″}}]]
The question: are these memes a product of creative netizens with too much time time on their hands, or a marketing strategy of the shows/station?
One thing is for sure: The GMA people are churning out memes for Carmela, Rhodora X, and Kambal Sirena this very second.
