Entitled

What's with our obsession with titles?

 It seems like every star has to have a title to become legit. From the early days of "Superstar" and "Star for all Seasons," then we had "Diamond Star" and "Star of the new Decade." In fashion, we have Pitoy Moreno who's "Asia's Fashion Czar," to Ben Farrales as "The Dean of Philippine Fashion," to Inno Sotto's "Manila's Prince of Fashion."

 After hearing mass, I dropped by Robinson's Galleria to buy something at the Supermarket. Nearby, there was a mall concert by an artist named Juris.

When the host introduced her, he shouted:


"Let's all welcome, 'The Soothing Voice of Asia and the Pacific... Juris!'"

 Now that's the strangest title I've heard in a while.
