Actually, he just recently starred in a Hong Kong movie. The movie got poor reviews but I didn't need to say that. I think i remember seeing his fans start screaming his name there.

It'd be kind of funny/sad if he gave up Berkely for some psudeo-star career in asia.

sure and he only had to further the stigma of an asian nerd in order to do this. Blackface anyone?


Umm...Blackface? I don't remember William Hung bieng some white guy made up to look like an Asian nerd.....he is an Asian NERD so if he furthered the stigma then I guess it is a justified one, huh?

He's going to be starring in a guest spot in the George Lopez show. I reckon that'll extend his 15 minutes with another 5.

On another note, despite how stupid this guy is, can you believe he just started out as a college geek on a stupid show and now prolly makes more than what he'll make 2 years after graduation?

This proves to show that in order to succeed in Hollywood, you have to be really beautiful or really ugly; there's no middle ground.

FYI african american actors also did blackface in the minstral shows. Which is even worse because that is a person furthing the sterotype of his own race in exchange for profit. Just like William Hung.

Please watch the movie Bamboozled while it is a Spike Lee production, he makes many great points that can apply to many races and their portrayal in the media if you look a little deeper.

I don't know, but probably somewhere around here...a girl in my math discussion met him on a bus around campus (I'm at Berkeley). I don't know when that was, though.
