Oh Fonzie, Why?

Strong Kids, Safe Kids!
(Possibly NSFW - frank discussion about bad touching)

Okay, yes. It's been a Looonngg while since I've posted. I got pretty busy with work, and the dog ate my blog posts, and I'm feeling some kind of existential angst anyways....

The bottom line is I became a giant blogcrastinator, if there is such a word. I inadvertently almost fulfilled this prophecy (it's French for it's in now the hip thing to have abandoned your blog), lovingly posted to my MySpace blog page by Amy soon after I started (Thanks ;-}).

Not like Fonzie. When he sees a problem, he not only does something about it, he enlists the help of all of his celebrity friends, including Henry Winkler (don't think about that too hard), John Ritter, and Mariette Hartley.

So why does this '80's era PSA feel so horribly, horribly wrong? It has famous people. It has rainbow colours. It has puppets! It has a child psychologist! Okay, maybe it's the child psychologist, Sol Gordon. He's one of Oprah's pet experts now, and has been doing this for years, but there's something wrongtacular about the way he says vagina. It could also be Chris Wallace, the fellow in the overalls with the ukelele guitar. Henry Winkler says not to forget him. How could I? That song will be in my head every time I look "down in front". And if I'm not supposed to forget him, how come history seems to have? These questions will haunt my dreams.

Damn you, Fonzie. Damn you to heck.

Fixed the link to Amy. Also, I forgot to mention that Myya sent me this. My apologies.

So Why Do White Guys Get The Chicks?

Yellow Fever

Okay, so, again in the interests of full disclosure, I am a white guy. And while the number of chicks I get is statistically non-zero, I do not, in fact, "get all the chicks". In that way I could be considered an honourary Asian, I suppose (with my apologies to Asians everywhere). Nevertheless, I applaud Wong Fu Productions on their bold exploration of this racially sensitive topic. Why do white guys, get The Chicks?

A college student undertakes a quest to answer this question, or more specifically, why there's more White guy / Asian girl couples than Asian guy / White girl couples (Having been involved in neither, I can only speculate). What follows a fun and witty dissection of the interracial dating scene - at least at the college level - and is as good or better than any date comedy you may have seen in a theatre (certainly better than this - yeesh).

Wong Fu has been flying under my radar for quite some time now, having produced over a dozen shorts, almost as many music videos and even a feature, most of which they did while still attending UC San Diego. This thing bubbled up the nerd video food chain, and mad props to whoever dugg this and brought it to my attention.

So how do I go about getting The Chicks now?
