"Asians In The Library" -- The Aftermath
Lately I've been so busy at work and home that I haven't had time to post commentary regarding the wank over "Asians In The Library", the YouTube rant that has kept UCLA [my alma mater! Or at least one of them...] in the news for the last couple of weeks.
As [mildly] offensive as I found her video to be, I also felt very sorry for her because she comes across as a total airhead. Also, given that her boobs take up probably half the screen space in the video, I'm also convinced it was a cheap ploy for her to create publicity for herself in conjunction with her recent bikini photo-shoot. On a side note regarding that set of photos: somebody needs to have their Photoshop software confiscated. Yikes.
The good news is that among the many video rebuttals, there are some awesome comic takes on the situation:
KT Tatara's response to Alexandra Wallace's "Asians In The Library". [that webpage contains a link to YouTube]
"Survival Guide: Asians In The Library". Some other guy's YouTube response. Classy and gentle fun-poking. Also who is this guy? His deadpan delivery is exquisitely awesome.
ETA: Some people have pointed out that I forgot to list the first video response I ever saw to this whole kerfuffle--
"Ching Chong": in which one Jimmy Wong sings to Alexandra Wallace
