The Asian Backstreet Boys

If you spend any time on the internet then you've probably already seen the infamous video of two Asian homeboys lip-synching to the Backstreet Boys. Finally - a true Lazy Asian example: A) They're not even singing B) 99% of the video's appeal is dorkiness - and every Asian is just a bad haircut away from being dorky (I'm Asian, so it's cool) and C) They stayed in their room. At least William Hung took the initiative to leave his room and drive to the audition.

They've become famous for what I already do in the shower every morning (I'm talking about singing) - and I Want it That Way is my trademark karaoke song - along with Paradise City if it's a 2-for-1 drink night. If only I had the foresight to perform in front of a webcam.

Not surprisingly, these two kids are now quasi-celebrities in their home country. They've even signed a deal with Motorola China to help promote a new line of phones. And I bet they get plenty of tail.

GOOD for them. After thinking about it for a while, I'm actually more proud of my fellow Asian brothers than bitter. At least they're not famous for something related to Kung-Fu.
