An Affront To Nature

Well, if you think thats offensive, check this out! I think you can see her kidneys!
-- Randal from Clerks

I dont rant here as much as I used to because we have enough opinionated people in the world as it is. And as the saying goes, opinions are like assholes; everyone has one. But this one is too annoying and too humourous at the same time.

So I've read this story where an asian woman is sueing Miley Cyrus for making a face with slated eyes to a camera. All this to the tune of $4 billion dollars. Apparently, this woman, Lucie Kim, feels that her civil rights were violated by this act. To this I say, shut the hell up!

Keep in mind that I am asian and in no way, offended by this picture. How the hell were you damaged by some stupid teenager making a face at the camera? If you were so hurt by this act, why arent you sueing the other teenager in the photo thats doing the exact thing as Cyrus?!

I would highly suspect its because that kid is unknown and has no money.

What about the actual Asian kid sitting with them in the photo?! Does he look offended? Wouldnt it be his civil rights that were violated?! After all, he is the one in the picture!

So if anyone was to get any money out of this, it definately should be him. You, Ms Kim, and any one else in that class action suit, should not see a single penny.

If anything, we Americans, Asian or otherwise, should find this lawsuit insulting. All this has done is use up valuable tax dollars and, in my personal opinion, make us Asians fit some sort of greedy stereotype.

If we really are going sue somebody, sue the jackasses that greenlighted Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li. Did we not learn anything from the Van Damme debacle?

Why wasnt the Asian community in such an uproar over this:


"Ability to mate?" What kind of fracking stereotype is that?! What kid talks like that?! Well, beside me when I was that age.

So to make a long story longer, the whole point to this rant is that we have better things to worry about than some stupid kid making faces. Because in this case, its pretty apparent that its not about hurt feelings; its about the money. And that is what is really offensive.

If we want to be offended, we can watch this:
