Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to your Ms. Korea contestants!

Yeah, I laughed at that. But it's not doing the stereotype of 'all look alike' very many favors.

It is in fact doing the stereotype favors ...

[LiQuid]

A huge favor.

South Korea loves plastic surgery. Highest per capita in the world, particularly popular among women.

Seems an odd obsession artificially changing one's body for aesthetic perfection, and supposedly a sign of a declining culture. The vanity and obsession with just pure fashion, that is.

I'm crying IRL, but I don't think it's for the reason they intended!

If I didn't already know this and could laugh at how stupid the average person is, I'd probably find this video soul-crushing instead of hilarious.

Only really need to listen to the first few minutes, but it's pretty funny if you follow Basketball.

Holy shit I need to see this.

About Antiviral

Syd March is an employee at a clinic that sells injections of live viruses harvested from sick celebrities to obsessed fans. Biological communion – for a price. Syd also supplies illegal samples of these viruses to piracy groups, smuggling them from the clinic in his own body. When he becomes infected with the disease that kills super sensation Hannah Geist, Syd becomes a target for collectors and rabid fans. He must unravel the mystery surrounding her death before he suffers the same fate.

It's the sequel to Johnny Mnemonic I've always wanted!!

Everything about this is hilarious, especially the dialog surrounding this dumb video/bad music.

[LiQuid]

I like it!

I love how the Internet Racism Task Force is up their ass about how "racist" this is when Bloodhound Gang's Yellow Fever has existed for over a decade.

[kenzo]

Yup. I also love how stupid the people are who made this are, and their backpeddling in their video description. What did they expect when they made this? This isn't even remotely intelligent or obviously satire on an enjoyable level like Flight of the Conchords, it's just crass and racist for the sake of being crass and racist. Also, the song sounds like shit.

[LiQuid]

It's not racist tho...

[LiQuid]

People seem to forget that just pointing on racial stereotypes and even laughing at them does not equal racism. People are so quick to throw that word out without any fucking idea what the thought process that goes behind actual racism entails. I guess there was a big Twitter uproar at the writer of Borderlands 2 because Tiny Tina, a little white girl, uses "black slang" like badonkadonk... It's fucking incredible to me that people that think like this have a voice and that people are actually taking them seriously.

I agree, but it's not always evident that this is what's going on. Like this video: it's hilarious, and partially because there's no hint of irony anywhere. It's just dudes laughing and singing while spewing a list of bad stereotypes and asianesque words without any commentary. I found it funny, but I know a lot of people who wouldn't. Especially if you're an Asian person and have experienced a history of being berated with such bad stereotypes in the past. It's a classic example of Poe's Law.

[Mr_eX]

The real thing is probably funnier
