Is the Philippines part of Africa, Australia, Antarctica, Europe, or the Americas?

Congratulations. That's why I love LA. The Dodgers had Jackie Robinson, Sandy Koufax, Fernando Valenzuela, Hideo Nomo, Chan Ho Park.

The Lakers now have the all-Asian American backcourt -- LA is always at the vanguard of American society.

Not sure if this was an attempt at humor, because it's really really dumb.
