Is there a possible connection between Sanjaya’s defeat last night on American Idol and the Virgina Tech massacre? Sanjaya Malakar; Cho Seung-Hui? Maybe this was the worst week in the show’s history to be an Asian male? The headline for a post on The Village Voice’s blog: “Sanjaya Malakar: America’s Long National Nightmare Finally Ends.”
I hear that the Sanjaya School of Hair will be opening soon.
No.
This may be the dumbest post I've seen yet on Slog, which is sayin' somethin'. Rivaled only by the one a couple of weeks ago on what somebody's finger smelled like coming out of the bathroom.
"Seattle's Only Newspaper." Right.
Why do you write for this blog, again? Ugh.
Quit being mean.
I was thinking the same thing. However, I think the reason was that there was a sombering of the American mood. Sanjaya was a clown, and perhaps America wasn't in the mood for clowns anymore. Additionally, maybe all the Howard Stern let's-wreck-the-show people were preoccupied. As to whether there was a racial factor, I don't think so. Do people really equate central-asian "asian" with east-asian "asian," in terms of broad racial stereotype, the catagorization used for subconscious racial prejudice? Maybe asking this question makes me racist somehow, but I think the answer is no.
Don:
This is not a newspaper. This is a blog.
And Don, some of us have never looked back ethically or otherwise after that last tawdry "punch through".
There might just be something to that post, my main man.
Mr. Mudede's sexist photos often irritate me but I must grudgingly admit he has the most interesting/quirky riffs on the world. I hate to admit this. Ouuch.
No. This is deranged. I doubt enough Americans even know that India and South Korea are part of the same continent. Most of the time, the label of Leftists as America-Haters seems offensive and unbelievably stupid. And then again, sometimes not. Thanks, Slog!
A more pertinent question - how closely is Sanjaya connected with Kevin Bacon?

As a matter of "fact": Sanjaya will be performing a song next week by ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead.
Now for our Stranger Video-text.
How would you define an ironic hypocrite?
Bonus points if you don't answer.
