"It's funny because it's racist"

When Ricky Gervais did a bit on SNL where he claimed that while the US version of "The Office" was copied from his original UK version, his version was copied from an unknown Japanese version. We then go on to see a very caricatured version of The Office with excessive bowing and shy giggling. He wraps up this short by saying, "It's funny because it's racist!"

It's true, the clip is very racist, and very funny and in fact you're laughing out loud at the notion that SNL would get that racist to generate a few laughs. But the Gervais comment at the end is supposed to tell us that SNL was in on the joke from the beginning and therefore it is excusable. I just think the writers came up with a very racist sketch and then applied lipstick on that by the Gervais comment.

Anyway, that's just an excuse to borrow his line for the title of this entry. Check out this article about this new movie called "From Chandni Chowk to China" starring two of India's sexiest stars Akshay Kumar and Deepika Padukone. Huge release. But yeah, read this.How to make someone look Chinese? Wow! I'm just praying that one of the big stars pulls off a "slant eyed" caricature, just so I can watch the fallout from that political disaster.
