Ralphie Mays?!?!?

Okay, I know I asked a stupid question earlier today, but please, let me ask just one more...did anyone see this guy on "Last Comic Standing" tonight? I almost fell off my chair...in shock, not laughter. What is going on? I know I shouldn't be shocked, but it seems that the whole world has turned into a surreal film I'm being forced to watch.

I thought Ralphie was supposed to be, you know, funny, instead he dips into knee-jerk patriotic shlock. In the wrestling biz, we'd call this a cheap pop.

Boy do I hate Dat -- and I'm speaking as an Asian here. His entire shtick is about fishing for patronizing laffs with his accent. Ugh I hate him.

None of them were great, except possibly Cory. The thing about orgasms had me laffing.

I forgot to say: RALPHIE YOU WERE NOT FUNNY.

I'd vote online, but they ask for my email and I don't want more spam.

I know. What did you think of Dat Phan?

I think he's a moron, personally. His "I want the best person to win this here COMEDY COMPETITION" shpiel makes me realize that the annoyingness of Xtian fundamentalists is not limited to Xtian fundamentalists. In so doing, he's made the whole competition a personal thing whether he knows it or not, which really jibes with his "Love is the way" philosophy.

Also he is not funny. His entire routine is based on the ridicule of Asians, and he's failed to demonstrate a proper understanding of race and racism to poke fun at it without falling into its traps. Of course, I'm implicitly saying that I should be the token Asian guy on the show.
