A big WTF?!
Feb. 16th, 2007 12:19 amI seriously want to puke right now.
In the past few months or since forever, a number of celebrities and public figures like Rosie O'Donnell and Adam Carolla have gotten in a bit of hot water over two words: Ching Chong. (A note to all the those who don't know, it is offensive to Asian Americans, it is a racial slur, and my mother tongue has more than two syllables). The latest little scuffle in this arena has been over the band, Ching Chong Song. After having its performance canceled by Bryn Mawr in December, the band's lead writes a tirade lack any merit in content or style at the college. Campus responds and lays the smackdown. The band is also met with protest when they were scheduled to perform at NYU on V-day. Band changes its name (to Church of Lurch), but gives a rather insincere apology. Hopefully the end of the story, right?
Being the masochist I am, I jumped over to the band's MySpace and then to their website. A HUGE HUGE WARNING to anyone who wants to click on the video, I HIGHLY ADVISE AGAINST IT! I have no idea what they're trying to express but IT SICKENS ME. Can you be more fucking misleading than printing "You win. I'm sorry." and then putting up a video of SOMEONE'S FUCKING LEG being SAWED OFF?! NO! NOT FUCKING ON! I don't know what the website was like before they decided to change their name, but I doubt this was what was on it.
Is this what you think being edgy is about? Is this what's considered being punk? I am so angry and disgusted that most of my coherent thoughts are flying out the window.
When I get my thoughts more together and coherent, and verify this little tidbit, I am so writing in to these people.
