12.01.2006 CHINESE LARA CROFT CONTEST = HOT
Hotter than hot rice dipped in Won Ton Soup hot. Tomb Raider: Legend is about to hit stores in China and to get people excited for the game China decided to set out to find the best Chinese Lara Croft they could find. Offering money and false promises of a Brad Pitt wedding, China succeeded in finding some quality Play Girls. Here's a few egg rolls I'd like to stick with my chopsticks - which is your favorite ass kicking geisha?
Making desire analogies out of the americanized chinese food you get delivered from the place down the street is lazy. I don't know if you ever bothered learning how to use chopsticks, but you don't "stick" them in your food unless you're a fratboy idiot trying to make your cultural ignorance seem clever for your friends. And on the subject of cultural ignorance- these girls are CHINESE. Geishas are JAPANESE. I appreciate the subject matter of this post, but your "they all look alike to me" babble is embarassingly lame.
That's what bothers me the most, the author used ignorance to substitute for an actually well-written blurb.
I would bet you the author would think twice about posting a blurb on black models dressed as Lara with steretypes like eating watermelon, fried chicken, stealing televisions, robbing people. In fact, I look forward for the author to try that.
Stereotypes like these marginalize asian people, especially asian women. The author doesn't see a model dressed as lara, he sees every asian stereotype. Dude, if you really let this stuff get past you, you're allowing yourself, as an asian, to be pigeon-holed into something you aren't.
p.s. that was some really horrible writing, I expected wit and humor, instead it was somebody reading me a menu from some chinese restaurant. hot rice in wonton soup, wow.....
