- tuzy2k, on 11/14/2007, -10/+75Yeah - the stupidity found on Faux News fails to surprise me anymore.
- vonfook, on 11/14/2007, -2/+59I always wondered what Chinese people looked like...thanks!
- Dumbledorito, on 11/14/2007, -2/+40I can't recall the name of the comedian, but one fellow with a mic in front of a brick wall commented how you always have that one douche in the group when you go eat Chinese who would do the "asian eyes" thing and make "ching-chong" noises. He then wondered if the employees who saw this kind of stuff would go into the back room, pull their eyelides open and yell things like "BASEBALL! CADILLAC!" and so on.
- iching, on 11/14/2007, -5/+42Well, I'm sure Michelle Malkin will be right on top of this in her Faux news commentary
- dunderballer, on 11/14/2007, -0/+29He should have treated all the races he mentioned equally and pantomimed a stereotype for each.
- Jimmerz, on 11/14/2007, -0/+26Buy that man a bucket of KFC!
- drewdown112, on 11/14/2007, -9/+35Only on Fox News... they shouldn't even be allowed to use the term "news"
- natedouglas, on 11/14/2007, -4/+29"Not a black guy, with 'Inflate to 20psi' tattooed on the inside of his lips."
I think this merely goes to prove what many of us have been saying about these mainstream media "editorial shows" all along. Their business model is built around regurgitating the same old grievances, the same old false dichotomies, the same idiotic arguments that we've always seen.
Newspapers are written at, iirc, a seventh- or eighth-grade reading level. That's not the problem -- the problem is that there is very little effective, intelligent public discourse held at a higher level than that.
My wife and I don't watch TV. We celebrated our anniversary this weekend by getting a cabin in the woods. I woke up early on Sunday and turned on the TV which, fuzzily, managed to scrape together a staticky but comprehensible local PBS station. I was shocked! People were discussing an issue (the revision of Ohio's sex crime statutes) with actual acknowledgement of each others' differing viewpoints, with the aim of ensuring fairness rather than expediency, with no raised voices, without logical fallacies. Both parties seemed to have actually considered the consequences of various aspects of the laws in question. Instead of debating the aim of the law and whether it came from a liberal or conservative agenda, they were debating THE EFFECTS of THE EFFECTS of the law! In other words, they were debating it as an event in society with positive and negative effects, rather than just saying "well, those damn conservatives are at it again" or "the liberals managed to sneak this through while we were re-reading the New Testament" or whatever.
Shocking how they can do that on PBS. Too bad it doesn't seem to be very profitable. - inactive, on 11/14/2007, -2/+26Your right. I did it when I was about 6 years old. Fox News: the network for people with the brains of a six-year-old.
- natedouglas, on 11/14/2007, -0/+17The difference might be that we weren't doing it while ostensibly holding a well-reasoned, intellectual debate about society and acceptable presumptions of guilt in law enforcement scenarios.
There's a difference between:
"Chinese, Japanese, look at my boobies at the movies!" which I remember saying when I was seven with appropriate (although anatomically inaccurate) tugs at the corners of my eyes
-and-
"You see, Dave, the fundamental flaw with Nietzsche's concept of master-slave morality is CHING CHONG WANG, bitch!" - natedouglas, on 11/14/2007, -1/+16It's not a matter of political correctness. It's a matter of the acceptable level of discourse -- and how the level of discourse is shockingly low on the Fox News channel.
- formergthing, on 11/14/2007, -2/+17"I'll use my credit card!"
- TheLoneHoot, on 11/14/2007, -2/+17Psssst - its a joke, because "faux" means "fake"
Get it? - tucsonsun13, on 11/14/2007, -5/+16so THAT's what asians look like! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!
- pineutrino, on 11/14/2007, -2/+13Whenever I think of Fox News, the Simpsons musical jingle Cletus the Slack Jawed Yokel! pops into my head.
- DreKor, on 11/14/2007, -0/+10I think I stopped doing that in preschool.
- MerryMortician, on 11/14/2007, -9/+19here is my problem... who the ***** cares? we are too sensitive with EVERYTHING anymore. I get my news online and don't watch tv anyways much less fox news.. but im tired of people "getting offended" at stupid *****.
- insllvn, on 11/14/2007, -2/+11The only thing that surprises me is that he didn't puff out his lips and flatten his nose to illustrate black male.
- inactive, on 11/14/2007, -2/+11Very professional
- pintomp3, on 11/13/2007, -1/+10that's not the point. if they do a story about a jew, would they put on a big hook nose? if it was an african person, would they put on an afro? even when mencia does it on comedy central, it's lame. on a news network it's shameful.
- thefandango, on 11/14/2007, -8/+16i believe the correct terms are "Basebarr" and Cadirrac"
- TheHydrogens, on 11/14/2007, -2/+9I have a Chinese friend that does an awesome American impression... he pulls his eyes open as wide as he can, pushes his stomach out, and says "Somebody give me a cheeseburger!". Ok... that doesn't sound quite as funny in writing, but if you have a Chinese friend, ask them to do that, it rules.
- rspeed, on 11/14/2007, -1/+8Some folk'll never eat a skunk, and then again some foke'll. Like Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel!
- TheLoneHoot, on 11/13/2007, -0/+7I think you have managed to completely miss the point, and yet make yourself an example of the point itself. Wow!
- drlha, on 11/14/2007, -0/+7Its not just the iPhone, its any GSM phone that can cause that kind of interference.
- formergthing, on 11/14/2007, -5/+12Who cares?
- DrSpud, on 11/13/2007, -1/+8So their guest did something stupid, and by proxy we should hate them instead? They should be despised for their blatant bias and horribly skewed "coverage". But not for what a guest does on a show that is editorial/commentary.
- darkpck, on 11/14/2007, -1/+8"Do you have any non dairy creamer?"
- DiggsOnlyNeoCon, on 11/13/2007, -1/+7Using "libtards" virtually guarantees productive, insightful, and coherent thoughts will follow later in your sentence. It's like a billboard for compassion.
- sircomix, on 11/13/2007, -0/+6O'Donald. Nice one.
- Gryffydd, on 11/14/2007, -2/+8I was offended when I read the headline. Then I watched the video and saw the guest was a black guy. That made it OK. You can't be racist or offensive if you're black.
- sholde4, on 11/13/2007, -0/+6Not a black man with a nose like this [pushes it up], sucking up all the white man's air...
I'm sure he'd appreciate that. - ahpro, on 11/13/2007, -0/+5Its ok, relax. He's black so he gets away with it.
- inactive, on 11/14/2007, -6/+11WOWWWWWWWW....what an outrage!! To suggest that different races and cultures are actually different is akin to heresy.
While myself and legions of liberal diggers have no problem goofing on poor whites for their accents, perceived intelligence, and poor breeding, this is just too much! - crestfall, on 11/14/2007, -0/+5No, It makes you black, according to this clip.
- inactive, on 11/14/2007, -5/+10I don't care what you are.
./End Communication - inactive, on 11/14/2007, -1/+5You "accidentally" tuned to FOX and kept watching for at least five minutes?
- dipdip, on 11/13/2007, -0/+4how old are those idiots?
- JezusGhoti, on 11/13/2007, -0/+4It also proves that I am a retard who double-posts.
- tucsonsun13, on 11/14/2007, -7/+11Fox News - the home of irrelevant, poorly-researched, ridiculously spun, polarizing, biased, unprofessional news that you'd much rather read about than watch.
- DyDx, on 11/13/2007, -0/+4Fox News is the most watched cable news station. You're wrong. The problem is that too many people take it seriously because _they're idiots_.
- jaxcs, on 11/13/2007, -0/+4White people have it so hard in America.
- btdub, on 11/13/2007, -0/+3Well put.
- inactive, on 11/13/2007, -0/+3You clearly missed the point. I still play with toy trains and crayons, thanks to my two-year-old daughter. However, I have MATURED to where I no longer taunt people, throw temper tantrums, refuse to share, cry when I'm tired, or poop in my pants. Making a "slanty eyed" face to depict an Asian falls into the second list.
- crestfall, on 11/13/2007, -1/+4Now try making fun of a black guy in a pseudo-racist manner. Check how long it takes for your digg account to be toast.
- chenyu768, on 11/14/2007, -1/+4what really sucks is that Asian's will let this ***** go, but hispanics and african americans would unite and force a resignation or something, i mean Imus got fired right? I hope that Asians can stand together and deem this inappropriate and just plain in bad taste. I mean seriously the passive ways of our asian forefathers here have allowed us asians to become the acceptable race to make fun of and degrade.
- NoStoppingUs, on 11/14/2007, -1/+4i believe that would be red eye, on at 3 am.
HILARIOUS! - TheLoneHoot, on 11/14/2007, -0/+3Wait a minute... didn't FOX news "invent" talking points? Isn't the term so connected to them conversationally that it inspired a website (talkingpointsmemo) that is their antithesis?
- swgc5, on 11/13/2007, -0/+3Exactly, people would snap if a white guy did that. Talk about a double standard.
