I am strangely turned on.

I ask all my AS brethren to put wax in their ears and tie me to the mast.

I’m not sure how big this story has been outside Australia, but Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s bizarre apology video has been all over the news and the interwebs here for the past few days, and it’s certainly easy to see why. Here’s a “behind the scenes” video courtesy of Australia’s number one YouTube comedian, Natalie Tran.

Noddle suggested we have a look at Off the Great Wall, a web based video channel that looks into Asian topics with a humorous slant.

The above clip from the pilot episode of the short-lived sitcom All-American Girl, features a then-25 year-old Margaret Cho and a then-40-year-old Jodi Long, as her mother. The show lasted all of 19 episodes from 1994-1995 and used the “plight-of-the-Asian-family-torn-between-two-cultures-and-coping-with-life-in-the-US” formula. The storyline and its characters were based on Margaret’s stand-up act (before it relied on profanity and revolved around the word “lesbian”) but unlike Margaret’s early routines, All-American Girl needed the laugh track to get laughs.

As it doesn’t feature any Asian girls this video is technically off-topic, but if you want to be able to continue to enjoy sites like Asian Sirens at the same speed you always have, net neutrality is very much on topic. I can barely afford to run AS as it is, so I certainly won’t be able to pay extortion money to US cable operators to maintain its present speed. So if you’re one of our vast majority of US readers, stand up for a continued free, fair and open internet!

It’s been a while since we’ve had a humorous or discussion post, so when I came across this image on the interwebs, I thought I might share it with you. Is this an accurate reflection of the normal Asian female ageing process in your experience?

Even though she checked “no” for “shoots nudes” at her Model Mayhem page, Korean-American actress Lena Young (aka Lena Hwang) sure made an exception for her role as the ditzy “Bibi” in this year’s comedy/horror The Coed and the Zombie Stoner ….or perhaps she was referring to only still photography.

Above (at 1:34) we see Bibi/Lena and company streaking through their college campus, unaware that a good portion of the student body have become zombies. However, the girls soon find out what it takes to sedate and subdue the flesh-eaters and make their way to safety.

Another notable Asian lady in the cast, albeit in a much smaller and fully-clothed role, is veteran B-movie actress Christine Nguyen (first featured at the old site here and then shortly thereafter here), who plays the university librarian.

I wouldn’t put The Coed and the Zombie Stoner at the top of my “to watch” list for Halloween horror, as it leans way more toward comedy than it does horror, and lame sophomoric comedy at that, but due to its gratuitous nudity and Jamie Noel as a wonderfully foul-mouthed sorority president named Bambi, it’s worth a look.

The above video uploaded last month by artist David Choe to DVDASA‘s Vidme channel, features porn star Asa Akira singing a contemporary Christian song with a trio of guys that will probably cause the casual viewer to wonder about the whos, wheres, and whys, despite being treated to a nice, long view of Asa’s remarkably firm twin peaks.

For those of you who may be interested in some backstory to this video; according to a seemingly-informed commenter who goes by “saadbabu” in the Reddit thread that Choe began with a link to this video, it was shot at a “mystery ranch” somewhere in Big Bear, California some time within the last four to five months. The guys featured with Asa in the video are (left to right) Steve Lee (brother of Bobby Lee, formerly of MAD TV), Critter Fleming (stated as occasionally functioning as David Choe’s body guard/manager), and Choe, himself. “saadbabu” went on to state that the DVDASA (allegedly standing for either/both “Double Vagina, Double Anal, Sensitive Artist” and/or “DaViD choe ASA akira”) has “mysteriously been on hiatus for quite a while now and this is the first new material to come from it since.”

For those of you who couldn’t care less about the backstory of this video and just want to see more of Asa, check out her official website, Facebook fan page, her Twitter, and and several hundred other sites all over the Internet.
