Single Korean Pot Looking For Young Caucasian Kettle

[Hoofbite]

'What the *****' title of the week?

Anyway heres the setup. Miley Cyrus poses in this picture:

You can guess the warm reception that it got.

But who would of thought? Who in their right mind would have thought that a comedienne who does a good number of gay and lesbian jokes and who has dabbled in some anti-Christian material would actually take offense and call the girl out for this?

I guess Margaret Cho did.

The Korean-American admits she was appalled by the image, which first appeared online last week - and she's still not happy after two separate public apologies from the teen star.
Cho has even penned a song, in which she slams the Hanna Montana star.

The comic sings:

I wasn’t necessarily a fan of her, her dad, or Hannah Montana
I tend to prefer the songs of Rihanna
Racism against Asians is simply bananas

She adds,

Oh Miley!
Chinky eyes make you look wily
Prejudice isn’t thought of so highly
It doesn’t make us all smiley...
All you have to do is pull at your face
To make your eyelids resemble our race
This kind of joke has no proper place
Miley Cyrus is a disgrace!

So whats the deal? Is it okay to disparage groups in the name of comedy? Performance bigotry is acceptable? Essentially that is what Cho is saying. That or maybe she is trying to say that lifestyle group memberships are less worthy of the respect than nationality and skin color are afforded.


Personally I have a pretty high tolerance for "edgy" comedy (love Carlin, Dave Attell, Lewis Black & others) and topics that walk that fine line but what I don't have a high tolerance for is blatant hypocritical BS. Lady earns her living by cracking jokes about certain groups and then gets all hurt and upset when someone turns the tables on her. Not that that is exactly what Miley did but you can tell the picture wasn't taken with harmful intentions in mind. Immature and a poor decision, yes. Michael Richards v2.0? No. Just ridiculous, IMO. Most likely Cho is trying to rustle up a little bit of free publicity by attaching her name to Cyrus. Weak attempt and bad form in my book.



Nearly as ridiculous as THIS angle of the story where a Los Angeles lady thinks that suing for 4 Billion dollars on behalf of the city's entire Asian-Pacific Islander population is reasonable.



By the way, I was not reading gossip sites when I found this. Just want to put that out there. I am in no way all that fascinated with celebrities, just bored to death.

To be honest I am more concerend with what appears to be this 15 yr old child haning out with what looks like a much older crowd. One looks like he actually has a drink in his hand (could be grap juice).

Haven't you seen E True Hollywood Stories?

Thats the typical child star script. Booming career shot to hell because of poor decisions, bad influences and whatever substance is currently the high to go after.

Next thing you know, Miley will be showing up with track lines, a filthy outfit and some barely famous strung out guitarist.

I wouldnt even get close to going that far..
Miley hasn't had the drug and alcohol problems Lohan has.

Yet. Let that star begin to dim a little bit and we'll see what happens.

Its almost too predictable.

Ummm, an Asian guy who has his eyes wide open like White people do?? He's a RACIST!!!

As to your point, **** Cho.

the problem is that alot of these child-starts get pigeon-holed

they'll be branded teeny-boppers for life, and noone wants them when they're in their early 20's

it's just down-hill from there

frankly, I don't see why she's so famous, she's so plain-looking, even with gobs of make-up on

Chubby Cho has a lot of nerve. She's one of the biggest cheapshot artists on the comedy circuit.
