I Want It That Way



Have you seen those crazy fabulous Backstreet Boys-singing Chinese students yet? The one on the left reminds me a little of Gil in his mannerisms, even...

Who is the guy in the background, and how can he completely ignore it?

Why is one of them wearing a cast? Practice a little to intense?

And Alice, I am PUERTO RICAN, not Chinese. Caramba!

I think that's their roommate, sucked into his video game--this was filmed in a dormroom, after all. And they probably didn't record with sound, but added it in later. So they could play it however quiet they wanted, just enough to follow along.

Gil, you can be any race you want to be--aren't you a card-carrying member of the Racial Mystery Team?

I like the part where Chinese Gil points to the other guy to sing, but he just keeps his mouth shut and looks smug.

Gil has not yet earned membership into the Racial Mystery Team. Only Marc and I have membership...

I dunno, Gil is pretty fantastically racially ambiguous. I say you induct him right away. And me too, while you're at it, for my "could be half-asian, especially when sitting in Japanese class or when my hair is dyed black." That is, if you're accepting new members, of course.

Vinny you are CLEARLY black.
   comment by Sean on November 2, 2005

Racial Mystery is the new black.
   comment by vinny9 (#33) on November 2, 2005

that's what i meant.

I found another! As Long as you Love Me

Alice told me there were a few more, but I have yet to find them.

Also, can we agree that the guy in the back is hot? Not that Gil isn't hot, or Chinese Gil, but you know what I mean. Anyway, in this video he does a lot of rubbing his own boobs... Not that I find that hot.

I was wondering what would make people do this kind of thing, but this video answered my question. Lots of coke. Just look at chinese Gil rubbing his nose. I know what that's all about.

Apparently they got a commercial deal with a Chinese cellphone company as a result of all these, which is probably paying them just enough to cover the coke. And yeah, the guy in back is hot, but in a cocky jock kind of way. Chinese Gil is my favorite of the two!

That's funny, Mariana. The guy in the back is exactly the sort of guy that i find most unattractive (well, not THE most, but...) My judgment is clearly not as honed as yours, but yeah - Chinese Gil is way, way, way more appealing than that waxy smug cinderblock.

How the hell are they able to do five voices when there's only two of them?

Chris, you found the chink in their armour.
   comment by vinny9 (#33) on November 4, 2005

Chink, Vinny? Chink? Boy, if you weren't chinese I think that would count as a racial slur.

Ever since I posted mousepads that have foam breasts without comment, I was wondering if I could post a racial slur without comment. Guess not...

At least you enunciated.
