Mon Confiado files case vs. Facebook user over 'copypasta' joke, publicly names him

"Dapat sana ang joke ay nakakapagpasaya at hindi nakakasira ng tao," he added.

Confiado said he's a quiet person who's never involved in issues nor has enemies.

"Ako ay tahimik na nagtratrabaho lamang bilang aktor. At bilang aktor, ang aking pangalan ay aking pinagkaka ingat-ingatan dahil ito ang aking puhunan para ako ay makakuha ng trabaho," he said.

Confiado then took a swipe at the post anew, noting it could make people believe it was true and spread it to others, risking his acting career and his ongoing endorsements with brands.

"Paano kung dahil sa maling pagkakaintindi sa joke mo ay maapektuhan ang aking mga trabaho? Dapat ba ay tumahimik lang ako?" he said. "Dapat ba ako pa ang mag adjust at pabayaan ko na lang at huwag na ako mag react?"

He then called out Jacinto for disturbing his peace. Confiado also pointed out that he messaged Jacinto about the copypasta post, only to be asked if he was making a threat.

"Hindi mo pa din ito tinanggal hanggang kinabukasan ng gabi," Confiado said of the post.

While he acknowledged that Jacinto issued a public apology, Confiado said it was sarcastic and insincere.

"At wala ni katiting na pagsisisi at proud ka pa sa ginawa mo," he told Jacinto. "At ginagawa niyo pa akong katatawanan ng mga followers mo. At ngayon ikaw na ang biktima at ako na ang masama."

Confiado then reminded Jacinto that the case he filed was not a joke.

"Seseryohin natin ito para maging aral sa ating lahat," he said. "I’m looking forward to personally meet you in court Mr. Jeff Jacinto. God Speed."

Confiado's post did not specify what case he filed against Jacinto.

The Facebook page Ileiad, meanwhile, cannot be searched at the moment. It's unclear whether it was deleted or taken down due to reports.

What the viral 'copypasta' post said

In the copypasta, the poster recalls how he supposedly met Confiado at a grocery store in Marikina, noting how "cool it was to meet him in person." But the poster was taken aback because Confiado was supposedly rude to him. The user said he also supposedly saw Confiado trying to leave the supermarket with "fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying," pertaining to the chocolate bar.

The girl at the counter, who's "very nice and professional about it," supposedly told Confiado, "Sir, you need to pay for those first," only for him to supposedly pretend to be tired and not hear her though eventually gave in.

When the girl scanned one of the bars multiple times, Confiado supposedly told her to scan each bar individually "to prevent any electrical infetterence," as he turned around and winked at the poster.

Though the girl did what Confiado told her and informed him of the price, the poster noted how Confiado "kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly."

'I Saw Flying Lotus in a Grocery Store...' copypasta

According to Know Your Meme, a website dedicated to documenting internet phenomena, copypasta is "any block of text that gets copied and pasted over and over again, typically disseminated by individuals through online discussion forums and social networking sites."

Merriam-Webster Dictionary also has an entry for copypasta: "data (such as a block of text) that has been copied and spread widely online."

The post, as it turned out, is a derivative of the "I Saw Flying Lotus in a Grocery Store..." copypasta. (Flying Lotus is an American record producer.)

It is a "popular copypasta in which the poster tells a story of a famous person acting like a jerk in a grocery store. The subject of the copypasta is usually a very well-liked celebrity, thus pranking people into thinking someone they really like is actually rude."

It traced the origins of the entry to the imageboard website 4chan's messageboard "/mu/" dated June 29, 2012.

Know Your Meme noted that it spread on Sept. 1 of that year, and later on, Flying Lotus' name got replaced with celebrities like Matthew McConaughey, Ryan Gosling, Anthony Fantano, Kendrick Lamar, Masahiro Sakurai, and more.
