I'm outraged at you indifference!

Gotama dam it!

I'm standing here besides myself with rage, or indifference, or whatever.

I am obtuse toward your rage, petulant over your indifference, and disturbed about whatever.

[nostatic]

don't you know who you're standing beside?

Rosie O'Donnell is about as relevant to the world as tits on a boar hog.

How is it she's even a household name anymore?

Bush hates intolerance....I think

For kicks I did a Google "image" search on the term. It turned this up from Feb 2006.

The staff editorial in the current AsianWeek (not my usual read, but who could resist that explaination-begging cover?) demands the firing of Adam Carolla from his radio show. His offense: a sketch that might be a little insensitive to a couple billion people.

On Jan. 24, Carolla went on the air and introduced a recorded bit spoofing the Asian Excellence Awards.

“I know it sounds like a joke,” said Carolla. “But these are real. They hand them out for movies, for acting.”

Then he said he had an advanced clip of the show to be seen on AZN TV. “Play the best male actor of a TV show ... ”

The audio played with some Asian-sounding music, but with a slight big-production echo sound. You can imagine, that next would come, just like any awards show, a big booming announcer reading off nominees, and then announcing the winner.

But because these were the Asian awards, we hear a sonorous announcer in his most fake show biz voice speak: “Ching chong, ching chong, ching chong ... ” .

Look, I think Carolla can be funny, especially when he's doing his schtick on radio. (Loveline was just about the best thing on during his run.)

But comedy in general has taken a bit of an ugly turn in recent years. Sure, it was cathartic a few years ago to see a shift towards smart, politically incorrect humor that acknowledged that races, genders, and orientations are different from each other, while also mocking the racism of the past and present by ironically invoking it. South Park, TV Funhouse, Da Ali G Show, and Will Ferrell-era SNL all made racial comedy edgy but still goodhearted, because they distinguished between laughing at racism and celebrating it.

OK, now, I'm offended. I'm not a g33k. I think.

[artplumber]

I'm trying to think of a nice way to say the characterization isn't funny to those who think it is. Just reinforces the stereotype of the smiling, apparently stupid/incoherent "chinaman" from Hollywood.

[m21sniper]

They're smiling because they have a plan to conquer the world, not cause they're stupid. Seriously, anyone who thinks asians are stupid is probably so dumb that at some point they'll forget to breathe.

I love politically incorrect ANYTHING.

[scottmandue]

Okay maybe Rosie is insignificant to a bunch of motorheads on the Internet but I did a quick Yahoo search on her name and hooboy she has a lot going on (money making wise).

Also I found this isn't the first time she has said something stupid.

Sad that I remember a long time ago when she did standup she was pretty funny... before she felt she had to get all political and push her lifestyle on everyone.

[speeder]

She could make a freight train take a dirt road.

She could knock the buzzards off a schitwagon.

That's punishment enough, for a famous woman(?) in this life.

Jim says he is "indifferent"

Isn't that the whole point of homosexuality?

[nostatic]

only if he met Mr. Different at a bar...

[Jim Richards]

Whoa there, Bob! I'm not on that team, not that there's anything wrong with them.
