What Manner of Fresh Hell Is This?
I took piano lessons for two years, and I played “We Are The World” at my second recital when I was about nine or ten. I thought I was fly for playing a popular song, only to realize that everyone would be able to tell when I messed up, which I did – twice. Haven’t really played the piano since. Anyway, that little childhood memory is not nearly as painful as watching these Japanese impersonators doing an almost dead-on rendition of “We Are The World.” Yes, Stevie, Lionel, Michael, Tina, all in brownface, the works. I have to love Japanese people, they do any old thing. Fresh hell, I tell you.


that is some bazar uh, stuff lol
this is why i love your site. this is crazy!
Girl, where did you find this video? It is too much!
this is insane lololol. i love japanese people for real
OUTSTANDING!
this is so disturbing….
My friend laughed all the way to the next day with this one, he says that Cindy Raupel made him appreciate the subdued performance or Tina
My Beef is with Ray’s Ashy lips
I liked it better when you were gone.
Are you sure that wasn’t really Michael Jackson? Also, that really looked like Cindy Lauper. The Japanese are always funny with this kind of stuff.
I was scared of Stevie Wonder. That was too funny!!!!! I love how they did black face, they should have did white face for Bruce and Cyndi.
The Japanese those mofos will do anything for western world validation. I live for Cyndi Lauper-ukio HAHAHAHAHA
So what do you think? Please be respectful to other readers!

Malt Liquor: A Historical Examination
By Thembi Ford on May 18, 2008
The other day I made a joke to one of my coworkers about 40’s and she had no idea what I was talking about. I always think really hard when someone doesn’t get my jokes, and it made me realize that the 40-ounce beverage, and malt liquor in general, has somehow become a distinctly black phenomenon that is difficult for foreigners to fully grasp. But how did American black folks become the key market for consumption of this drink?
