Filipino TV show goes off air over crying child

MANILA, Philippines – The Philippines' most popular TV game show was pulled off the air Monday amid a public uproar over the host letting a crying 6-year-old boy mimic a striptease dancer.

"Willing Willie" host Willie Revillame said he was taking two weeks of leave after which he will announce if he'll return to television.

Angry viewers and commentators have launched a campaign on social-networking sites to remove Revillame from the show, which offers cash prizes for singing, dancing, storytelling and playing games. They say Revillame showed poor taste and mocked his mostly impoverished viewers by allowing the crying boy to gyrate as a striptease dancer.

Sounds to me the boy was accurately portraying a stripper, well they are crying on the inside.....same thing!
