My William Hung hate mail.

Hey William:

I am a 29 year old asian male, born and raised in the US. I've faced discrimination in my past and present, in various subtle and not-so-subtle forms. I have to say that your "act" is pathetic and sets back asian men in this country by decades. The idea that you have a "career" as a novelty act makes me sick; your audiences are laughing at you, not with you. As a result, many of them think that you are representative of all asians - emasculated, ignorant of their surroundings and of people's actual perceptions of them, and generally as a complete joke.

Thanks for making the rest of our lives more difficult - every time asians take one step forward, with movies like "Better Luck Tomrrow," there's a roach like you that steps in to set them back four. You are as embarassing to Asians as OJ Simpson is to African-Americans. For god's sakes, please go away so the rest of us can go about undoing the havoc you've wreaked to us in general.

Sincerely,

Chris Tam

Another Celeb Sighting

So today, I had another humiliating day at Best Buy. It was horrible, with some wannabe rich girl snob with cheap pumps getting pissy with me after I followed her all over the digital imaging section answering her questions and when I rang up her purchases, she broke my balls for adding about 2 minutes to her transaction. I swear, I was ready to go ballistic on her. Just can't stand disrespect.

So I have met James Woods (SUPER nice) and Glenn Close (DIVA) at Sundance, seen Neil Patrick Harris at Ralphs, and sold Matthew Ryan Phillippe a Sirius Satellite boombox at Best Buy. Today, to make up for the tramp I waited on earlier, Alan Alda and his wife came in the store looking for some DVDs. I couldn't help but introduce myself, shook his hand, and told him that he was fantastic as Arnie Vinick this past season on The West Wing - and congratulated him on his Emmy nod. He was very gracious. Too bad the West Wing isn't coming back - this season it had new life breathed into it, and a season with Jimmy Smits as the President and Alan Alda as a Secretary of State would have been phenomenal. But I'm sure that NBC has a bunch of other worthless crap that will last for 2 or 3 episodes before their inevitable cancellation. SORRY that 18-30 year olds aren't interested in watching the West Wing, NBC programming idiots!
