SLANTIES: COMPLETE. UTTER. EPIC. FAILURE.

What the hell is this CRAP?! After the whole Miley Cyrus slanty eye business, there's seriously no need to make wooden eyewear in some "TRIBUTE" to the Inuit people! As quoted on their website:

"slanties are based on ancient Inuit eyewear. Each pair of slanties is handcrafted. Our light, durable finish shows off the natural wood grain. slanties are engineered to be sturdy and reliable, and each pair is reinforced with a layer of fiberglass. If cared for correctly, your slanties will last for 800 years. Wear slanties on the beach as functional sunglasses. Wear Slanties to the club. Wear slanties to visit your grandparents, they’ll love them too. We hope that each pair will bring you great happiness."

Uh, bullsh*t. Enough with this hipster shiet.


COMPLETE. UTTER. EPIC. FAILURE.

Obama Fingers: FAIL

I love food, but... fail. Germany doesn't get it. I think Obama sushi has been the best food thing so far....

Tank Restaurant, You Disappoint Me

What is this BBQ Pork sandwich your menu tells me?! I wanted some savory meat and spicy-ness from those green peppers and that TANG from the pickled carrots and veggies. Sorry, I just didn't hit much flavor until the MIDDLE of the sandwich.... and it wasn't much. Sorry, Ba Le's better than you at banh mi. Fail.

The Asian Dude in the Miley Cyrus Fiasco Responds, Sorta. Ok, NOT REALLY.

I think the title of the post really gets to the point.

I was reading some posts and came up DISGRASIAN's post on them messaging the Asian dude on myspace about the incident, also known as Chuck Willis.

Uh, well, his myspace got deleted and all was said was from MTV:

"When contacted by MTV News, Willis would neither confirm nor deny that it's him in the picture, saying that, due to the number of calls he's been receiving from media outlets, he's 'not going to talk about it.'"

Remember when I blogged about Adriel's response to this incident? I wasn't sure if this Chuck dude was going to say anything. I wasn't even sure if he was a sellout. But man, when you say "I don't want to talk about it," on this important issue, then, you're a sellout. Sorry man. You're participating and didn't do anything about it. Epic Fail.

Half of a half apology from Epic Failure Miley

Soooo... Miley decided she should apologize again for her slanty eyed business! And I thought, finally?! Then I read the apology and IT WASN'T AN APOLOGY.

"I want to thank all of my fans for their support not only this week, but always! I really wanted to stress how sorry I am if the photo of me with my friends offended anyone. I have learned a valuable lesson from this and know that sometimes my actions can be unintentionally hurtful. I know everything is a part of GOD’s ultimate plan, and mistakes happen so that eventually I will become the woman he aspires me to be."

Let's be honest, she doesn't care. I made the IF to show that she doesn't care about her Asian/Asian American fans. She's rich, famous, has celebrity privileges and does whatever she wants. So let's do something about this, shall we?

Many Asian American blogs have pushed back against Miley's half assed apology and have called her out on her BS apology. The OCA, Organization of Chinese Americans, is literally the only Asian American advocacy group that's called Miley out on her racist self. Where are the others at?

The Minority Militant has mentioned the lack of Asian American (AsAm) groups on the front lines with OCA and well, it's a good point. Are there reasons for other AsAm advocacy groups to not even bother with Miley? Maybe the other advocacy organizations have other priorities? Maybe they're intimidated? Maybe it's a waste of time for them? Maybe they think addressing Miley won't solve anything? Whatever the reasons may be, I think it's up to the empowered people, the general public, to speak up. PLEASE talk to your respective AsAm advocacy groups about this Miley fiasco. Tell them you want them to say, "Enough is enough, stop the slanty eye business."

And if you want to take it further, you can head to The Minority Militant's blog and read up on how Miley's going to the White House to show her movie. Ick. Or you can mail Disney and tell them their star is an epic failure. OR! You can do both.
