Laugh of the Day: What Kind of Asian Are You?

"Where are you from? Your English is perfect."  LOL.  

Yes, there are people like this.

A jogger runs into a fellow jogger and he obviously seems a little more interested in her heritage than his own jogging.  The following video has been viewed nearly 5 million times as of May 23, and was part of YouTube's comedy week.  Check it out.

Must Watch: The Old Samurai

I'll be honest, I've never been much for Samurai or martial arts movies.  It wasn't until I met my karate-judo husband that I grew fond of them.  Hell, I can watch Hidden Tiger, Crouching Dragon any day!  LOL.

But seriously, this short film is only 6 minutes long and it really is a work of art.  I commend Benjamin Wong for creating a masterpiece.  Not one word is uttered throughout the film, but the message is loud and clear.

After a lifetime of war, an old samurai is challenged to an epic showdown with a young ambitious samurai, his worthiest adversary yet. Battle is imminent, but the past could prove to be the old samurai’s undoing.

What a Hot Mess: Google Searches of Countries or Continents

The wonderful Jason Oberholtzer from I Love Charts has pointed out something I never realized about Google when it comes to doing a search of countries or continents.

Don't do this at work - trust me, it's not safe.  But when you search "European", "American", or "African", you pull up lovely images of flags, culture and history;  But when you search "Asian" it's not a pretty picture.  What a Hot Mess!

The chart below is an example - it's been edited for safe viewing.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly!

Pretty darn amazing what you can create with a little bit of dessert and a whole lotta Oil.

He's Hot, He's Asian, He's Harry Shum Jr. - Part Tres

I don't know why I love this guy so much, but he's downright sexy!  He's absolutely beautiful, absolutely gorgeous, absolutely strong and absolutely muscular.  

Harry Shum, Jr. graces the inner covers of this month's DAMAN magazine, and he is nothing short of lickable.  

For those who may not know or know of him, he plays Mike Chang on the popular television show, GLEE.   He was also featured in my previous two posts from March and April.

This year he was promoted as a regular cast member on the show, where he actually started singing.  He took vocal lessons over the summer and has already sung a song in a recent episode.  I'd have to say he sounded great.  Actually, all of him was great :-).

And here's a little trivia....  Harry was born to Chinese parents, but was born in Costa Rica.  His first language is Spanish.

Top 5 Most Segregated Urban Areas In America

And you thought segregation was a thing of the past.  Maybe you should think again.  I found these demographics quiet astonishing, but it is what it is.
