FRICKIN FUNNY TRAM B READING
On the infamous TRAM B, the USC upholstered bus (with the uber-godawful fragrance of body funk) that takes students roundtrip from campus-to-off-campus housing, I was reading an article about MARGARET CHO. Here's a funny excerpt.
"DOES MARGARET CHO HAVE SARS?" This All-American Girl is Ready to Sink DOwn to Your Level"
by Minnie Chi
Recently returned from the Canadian leg of her REVOLUTION tour, Marget Cho got more attention than she bargained for on the streets of Toronto. A few uber-paranoid Canadians immediately covered their faces with surgical masks at the sight of Korean-American Cho, not because she looked sickly or coughed up chunks of lung, but because she's Asian adn therefore capable of carrying the deadly SARS virus. Naturally, discrimination does not sit well with the Notorious Cho and she dealt with it in the only way one would expect her to.
"I stopped right in front of them, collapsed to the ground and started coughing dramatically. I tried to reach over to touch one of them, yelping 'Help me!' and they were flipping out," she says gleefully. "It was hilarious because they were just so scared of my reaction. My trouring group and I were dying laughing. Like, fuck those guys! Who do they think they are? I don't have SARS just because I'm Asian! Most people would say to jsut walk away and not to sink to their level and I'm like 'No, i AM going to sink down to their level' cause that's funny and you know what? They're not going to do that to someone else because they realized I was fucking with them after some time and of course they were busted."
If find Margaret Cho to be exceptionally hilarious. Can you tell?
