Foreign Students Walkout at Hershey’s Plant

CD — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 15:51:32 +0000

Hundreds of foreign students taking part in a U.S. State Department cultural exchange summer program walked out of their job at a Hershey’s chocolate plant in Pennsylvania. The students said their jobs are exploitative and in many cases grossly failed to cover the costs they spent on visas in their home countries. The students have reportedly been required to lift heavy boxes, work eight-hour shifts beginning at 11 p.m. and stand for long periods of time while packing Reese’s candies, Kit-Kats and Almond Joys on a fast-moving production line.

Their experience of American society has been very different from what they expected. “There is no cultural exchange, none, none,” said Zhao Huijiao, a 20-year-old undergraduate in international relations from Dalian, China. “It is just work, work faster, work.”

Introducing Wonho Chung — Korean Vietnamese Arab: Part 1

CD — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 13:50:55 +0000

From his website that is under construction:

Wonho Chung was born in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on October 22, 1981, into a musical and rather different family. His father is a prominent physiotherapist from South Korea and his mother is from Vietnam. Although he grew up in an Asian household, Chung’s upbringing was completely Arab, having been brought up in Amman, Jordan. He graduated from the Applied Science University in 2004, and then moved to Dubai during the same year to pursue a career in media.

Chung’s comedy career began in November 2007 when Showtime Arabia approached him to join the Axis of Evil comedy tour as the “Korean” they were looking for. They originally wanted a North Korean to complete the Axis, but instead settled for a South Korean, who speaks Arabic. He toured with the Axis of Evil comedy tour for a month, performing in 27 shows infront of 20,000 people collectively, in Jordan, Egypt, Kuwait, Lebanon and Dubai. Chung’s first TV appearance was in ShowComedy’s follow-up mini-series to the Axis of Evil comedy tour in the Middle East, a nine episode reality documentary aptly dubbed “3 guys and Wonho”, which won a golden trophy at the 2008 Promax BDA awards ceremony held in Dubai.

Stand up comedy lovers were treated to another dosage of comedy when Showtime put together “Friday Night Live”, which Chung hosted alongside his Axis co-star, Aron Kader. ‘Friday Night Live” was then the region’s biggest stand up comedy show, with nine international comedians sharing the stage and pulling in an audience of 2,500 people for a one night stand up comedy extravaganza, under the theme “minorities rule”.

Chung also starred alongside international comedians; Sugar Sammy, Ronnie Khalil and Ron Josol in Showtime’s third foray into stand-up comedy when Friday Night Live – New World Order (Friday Night Live 2) took place at the Dubai Community Theatre at Mall of the Emirates. The show was well received by the audience and the subsequent eponymous TV special was a hit among audiences across Arab countries.

Chung has been garnering extensive media coverage for “possibly” being the first Arabic stand up comedian. He was interviewed by CNN, NPR, MBC, Al Arabiyya, Future TV, Rotana, Al Hurra TV to name but a few. As well as many radio shows, magazines and newspapers.

Chung often includes singing into his act, as he is a trained vocalist having received various certificates from the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) in vocal studies. Though not by any means typecast, Chung was also a professional table tennis player achieving a top eight ranking in the men’s division nationwide in Jordan. He currently resides in Dubai and is presenting a weekly infotainment show called “Showmemore” which is presented in Arabic and highlights the latest offering in TV, film and celebrity interviews. Among the stars interviewed for “Showmemore” are; Academy Award winning French actress Juliette Binoche, reggae singing sensation Shaggy, soul music superstar John Legend, 2008 Miss Universe DayanaMendoza, fashion Icon Roberto Cavalli and hit maker James Blunt, to name but a few.

In early 2009, Chung went to Hollywood and interviewed the cast of various hit TV shows including; Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lily and Michael Emerson from LOST, Eva Longoria, James Denton, Dana Delaney and Doug Savant from Desperate Housewives, Vanessa Williams and America Ferrera from Ugly Betty, Jennifer Love Hewitt from Ghost Whisperer, Joe Mantegna and Shemar Moore from Criminal Minds, Tim Daly, Taye Diggs and Kate Walsh from Private Practice, Rob Lowe from Brothers and Sisters and Eric Dane, Chandra Wilson, James Pickens and Kevin McKidd from Grey’s Anatomy.

RuPaul’s Drag Race Ep: 3: Mimi Imfurst

CD — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 20:31:31 +0000

As they say let’s clock the t on this. There was absolutely no excuse for Ms. Mimi Imfurst to think RuPaul’s Drag Race all of the sudden went to a wrestling show. She had to go. I couldn’t believe she did that. What was she thinking. You could see that right from the start she was trying to get in the way and over shadow India Ferrah and when Ms. India Ferrah was like fuck that I’m going to go down the stairs and off the stage Ms. Mimi Imfurst followed her. I am still in shock. She picked her up like a wrestler although she did have some problems trying to pick her up, and start to twirl her like she was going to body slam her. Ohh my my my.

Guest Judge La Toya Jackson looked mortified. “Drag is not a contact sport,” RuPaul said. Sashay, away!

Besides that, I really liked the challenge of making a workout video. Some were funny and some were not. By the way, is anyone else noticing that there are a lot of BIG BIG boobs that the girls are wearing compared to previous seasons. Humm must be the in season for that kind of look. I dunno.

PSY- Right Now

CD — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 15:25:48 +0000

2010 wouldn’t be complete without the hit Right Now! Honestly, I kept hearing this song on the TV all the time and I thought to myself “I wish they would stop playing this damn annoying song.” I listened to the album which you can listen to below and some songs are good, so give the album a try and let me know what you think!

Wikipedia has this to say about him:

Park Jae Sang (born December 31, 1977), professionally known as PSY, is a Korean hip hop artist. Although not a mainstream hip hop artist, he is popular for his sense of humor and his unique concerts in which he imitates female singers such as Park Ji Yoon and Lee Hyori. He has appeared on numerous variety programs including Good Sunday: X-Man and Goldfish. He received education in the United States from both Boston University and Berklee College of Music.

HANGUL
OH~매우 공격적인 음악 뭐야 이거 내 목에 기계소리 빼
2010 ONCE AGAIN PSY IS COMING BACK HELLO~
VERSE)
남의 떡이 더 크고 남의 여자가 예쁘고 내가 하는 모든 것은 뭔가 좀 어설프고
그렇다고 죽을 수도 계속 이대로 살 수도 사투리로 짜투리로 늘어놓을 뿐이고
외쳐 외쳐 외쳐 외쳐 목이 터져라 외쳐 외쳐
미치고 치고 팔짝 뛰고 심장 박동 뛰고
나를 걱정하는 댁은 대체 누구신데 신경 꺼 잊어 그리고 나서 뛰어
SONG)
(RIGHT NOW) 180도 변해 돌고 돌고 지금부터 미쳐 볼란다
(RIGHT NOW) 63 빌딩위로 그리고 그 위로 지금부터 뛰어 볼란다
RIGHT NOW
RIGHT NOW
RIGHT NOW
VERSE)
웃기고 앉았네 아주 놀고 자빠졌네
혼자 북치고 장구 치고 아주 쌩 쇼를 하네
평생 일생 혹은 나의 이생 기죽지 않아 굴하지 않아 쿨 하잖아
YOU KNOW I’M SAYING 외쳐 외쳐 외쳐 외쳐 목이 터져라 외쳐외쳐
미치고 치고 팔짝 뛰고 심장 박동 뛰고
인생 뭐 있냐고 인생 뭐 있다고 저마다 존재하는 이유가 있다
SONG)
(RIGHT NOW) 180도 변해 돌고 돌고 지금부터 미쳐 볼란다
(RIGHT NOW) 63 빌딩위로 그리고 그 위로 지금부터 뛰어 볼란다
RIGHT NOW
RIGHT NOW
RIGHT NOW
VERSE)
세상이 나를 속이고 모르는 게 사람 속이고
뺑뺑이 돌리고 안 봐도 비디오
인생은 독한 술이고 그래서 예술이고 수리수리수리 마술이고
원고 투고 쓰리고
SONG)
(RIGHT NOW) 180도 변해 돌고 돌고 지금부터 미쳐 볼란다
(RIGHT NOW) 63 빌딩위로 그리고 그 위로 지금부터 뛰어 볼란다
RIGHT NOW
지금부터 미쳐 볼란다
(RIGHT NOW) 63 빌딩위로 그리고 그 위로 지금부터 뛰어 볼란다
RIGHT NOW
