Now for something entertaining from the mind of Rex Navarette:

"Lolo, stop! This is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs! It's a cartoon, sit down!"

"I don't care! This is a racist depiction! There should be filipinos in this movie; you see those dwarfs? How they're kinda short? They like to work a lot. Sometimes without money? They gamble. And all of them are single bachelors, huh? Bachelors, like the filipinos of the 1950's! And they have to share one white woman, huh? They could be filipino!"

Funny how only certain jokes can be appreciated by a certain ethnic/cultural group.

Speaking of which, I believe that I've found an answer to a problem that I face. For the music video I'm suppose to do, I have to put visuals to the sensual beat of Zap Mama's "Rafiki." One problem though: what concept will remain appropriate while remaining on a relatively neutral cultural backing? I admit that I know absolutely nothing about Afropean music (although it's definitely something I can get used to) so I'd feel completely unnatural to create a video that would be focused on that particular group. (Sorry, struggling to find PC terms)

So, in the spirit of unity and demolition of barriers which Zap Mama is all about, I've decided to make my video about some sort of CD which is passed on from owner to owner; each in turn begins to dance to the music until finally an entire classroom breaks out in rhythm and groove. Um... one problem though. What class short of the Dance classes would be willing to do such a thing? Oh well, I'll present my idea to the other two group members and see how they like things.

Heh, speaking of culture diaspora, I just got some belated birthday money from the maternal grandparents in a Chinese New Year envelope.

Still in the middle of working on my paper. Need to get to bed sometime soon.
