Yul Kwon

It's no secret of mine that Yul Kwon if my favourite Survivor of all time.

 

I mean seriously, he's badass. Smart, strong, humble and a natural born leader. He's the whole package for a superhero. Not to mention the fact that Cook Islands was originally separated by ethnicity and I don't think anybody expected the Asian tribe to win. (Well, except us Asians... we know we're natural born survivors).

But do you know the backstory of this Korean American demi-god? It is one of great struggle, which probably explains why the guy is such a fighter.

Great interview here.

"I’ve often wondered how I would have felt as a kid if I’d seen someone like me on TV. I don’t know for certain, but I think it would have made a difference, at least a small one. If I can make that kind of difference for just a few kids out there today, I’m pretty sure even my parents would be happy."

Represent.

Happy Lunar New Year 2012!

This goes out to all the cool cats out there celebrating the Dragon Year! Happy Lunar New Year. I hope you enjoy the below video:

 

Racist Heineken Ads

Damn these ads are racist:

Oooh cool (loser) white guy with hot asian chick, stereotyping Asian men. What's new. And people wonder why there's so much self-hate in our community. WTF is Heineken's obsession with ridiculing our culture?

I'm never drinking Heineken again. Is there a beer that's not racist these days?

Watch at your own risk:

Again... it's Harry Shum Jr

You guys love Mike Chang. In fact a huge portion of my traffic is dedicated to this dancing heartthrob.

So at the risk of turning this blog into a sexy Harry Shum Jr fan page, here's one more post to hopefully satisfy the masses.

Recently, our hunky Asian dancer was found in People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive 2011 issue.

 

Then you might have seen him in GQ.

Okay... I'm straight and all... but damn... he is one hot Asian guy (don't tell my gf I said that!)

Ladies, you're very welcome.

Dumbfoundead

I've been following Dumbfoundead for many years now. I dig his style and glad to see he's finally blowing up. Check him out on Carson Daly below.

 

And the awesome music video that went viral:

Geek love, is there anything greater?

Her: Oh ok!

Me thinking: Ok... what do you want me to do... answer the phone with "herro"?
