It hasn't been a good week for Asians. A Korean retard killed a bunch of people, Sanjaya was voted out of American Idol, and now, an Indian furniture store owner is in trouble over a couch manufactured in China.

Why? What's wrong with the couch? According to CNN.com, a tag on the dark brown sofa labelled the color as "nigger brown." Nigger brown? Ahahahaha! It's nice to see CNN getting its comedy groove back after days of oh-so-serious massacre coverage.

The customer who bought the racist sofa happens to be black, and she doesn't find it so funny. She's fuming mad and threatening to sue. The sad thing is that the poor Indian guy didn't even know what "nigger" means. Nevertheless, he is now expected to apologize to Al Sharpton and enter alcohol rehab.

What the hell were the Chinese manufacturers thinking when they wrote that label? Well, they weren't thinking. They used an old Chinese-English translation software and apparently forgot to install the political correctness upgrade.

Haven't the Chinese learned by now that computers suck at translating? Tsk tsk. They should have hired me to do the translation. I could have done a much better job. For starters, I know that the proper technical term for dark brown is "poop brown." Duh.

Unless you've been hiding under a rock for the past three days, you must have heard about the Virginia Tech school shooting that killed 33 people. And if you're hiding under the rock because of the shooting, you can come out now. The gunman shot himself. It's over.

But of course it's not really over as far as the news media is concerned. Much of the attention is now focused on the killer, Cho Seung-Hui, a 23-year-old senior English major at the university.

Before he went on his shooting rampage, Cho mailed a package to NBC containing pictures, videos, and a manifesto. It took two days for the package to get to NBC because Cho put down the wrong address and zip code. Wow, this loser just couldn't do anything right.

Here's a clip:

What a psycho, right? Former classmates sure thinks so. They were freaked out by two plays that Cho wrote in their playwright class, "Richard McBeef" and "Mr. Brownstone". The classmates described the plays as being disturbing, macabre, and violent. Hmm, interesting.

I read both plays and came away somewhat disappointed. Disturbingly violent? Meh. I've seen episodes of Prison Break with way more violence.

What I did find disturbing is how badly written the plays are. Read them and you'll know what I mean. I'm no Quentin Tarantino, but I think I've written better dialogue than that when I was thirteen. I can't believe how an English major could write so poorly. How did this guy even make it to his senior year?

I can't help but think that if Virginia Tech had higher academic standards, Cho would have flunked out of school a long time ago, and things would have turned out differently. Of course, a nutcase like that is bound to snap sooner or later. But perhaps the headline would have been something like "crazy Korean dude shoots fellow Wal-Mart employees," and the media wouldn't have to work themselves up so much over the story.

That would still be sad though. After all, Wal-Mart employees are people too.
