Asian duo's satire wins fans on YouTube



WATCH out Chris Lilley - two Melbourne "Asian dudes" are turning heads globally with their politically incorrect satire.

Preston Market shopkeeper Simon Ly and his filmmaking friend Carl Zhang have become a YouTube sensation after creating the 2asiandudes comedy channel on May 12.

As they amass fans, the irreverent 25-year-olds are also attracting attention from the comedy world with their brand of "rad FOB humour" (radical, fresh-off-the-boat).

They send up racial stereotypes and cultural clashes, such as the "ignorant white guy" who thinks he can buy bootleg DVDs at Ly's dad's shop, in a similar vein to Lilley's Angry Boys.

Within a week and a half of uploading their first videos they were invited by YouTube to join its partnership program and profit from ads.

The videos are inspired by stories on Ly's Facebook page of his frustrating and zany dealings with multicultural customers.

The channel has already hit 11,000 views.

"The videos are basically word for word from my experiences," Ly said.

"It can be a very touchy subject but I think because we are both Asian we can get away with it."



He said they had been approached by artist manager Michael Lynch, of Smartartists, whose clients include Eddie Perfect, Tim Minchin and Tripod.

"We had a meeting and he said to keep what we are doing and keep it true and raw, and try and get something in the Melbourne Film Festival," he said.

Producer/director Zhang, a Chinese-born filmmaker who runs two film production businesses in Asia, said they were astounded by the response so far.

"It usually takes about three months to get offered a partnership on YouTube," he said. "We are not poking fun at Asian people or Indian people directly, more the cultural clashes that occur with people trying to understand one another in multicultural Australia."

The former Northcote High students film mainly at Centreway Electrical.

Zhang said 13-18-year-olds were the biggest fans.

Sarin Witchayakul a top rookie aerobatic pilot



Not AA, but just had to post.

FORMER air hostess Sarin Witchayakul always wanted to ditch the cabin for the cockpit.

Strapped into the tiny cockpit of a stunt plane, she feathers the controls and pulls the agile aircraft out of its face-first dive - thundering towards earth at 350km/h and obviously confident behind the controls.

The Pitts Special sweeps skywards to perform a perfect loop - one of many hair-raising manoeuvres the 31-year-old has mastered on her way to becoming one of Australia's top rookie aerobatic pilots.

"I felt like I couldn't control my life as an air hostess," she said. "If the plane was going to crash I wanted to be in control, not sitting in the back of the plane." Three years on and Ms Witchayakul has been recognised as the nation's best female graduate aerobatic pilot, taking out first place in her category at the recent national aerobatics championships at Parkes.

Her trainer Phil Unicomb likened pure aerobatic flying to dressage or figure skating because of the precision required to execute the loops, rolls, spins and stall-turns.

Ms Witchayakul said the fancy flying is a long way from her former life serving drinks to Bangkok Airways passengers on flights across Asia.

"Seeing the world upside down, seeing it differently from other people - I just love it."

Ms Witchayakul plans to return to her home country Thailand later this year to pursue a career in commercial aviation.

Listen to this dumb c*nt

A LOCAL news anchor who made international headlines with a racist description of a Chinese man has apologised "unreservedly" for his remarks.

On Paul Murray's Sky News show last night, news anchor John Mangos reported on a Chinese lottery winner who wore a mask to remain anonymous while collecting his prize.

After the story, he said: "I don't know why he bothered. I mean, I can tell you now — he's Chinese.

"He's got straight black hair and he's got squinty eyes and yellow skin."

Murray was left speechless for a brief moment before replying: "That would be a very rough description."

Mangos today apologised "unreservedly" for the comment.

"On the Paul Murray program last night I made some off-the-cuff remarks about a Chinese lottery winner," he told news.com.au.

"The remarks were meant to be light-hearted and under the pressure of live TV my words were poorly chosen. In hindsight I can see they could offend and I apologise unreservedly for what I said.

"I am an Australian of overseas background myself and I am sorry for causing offence to anyone."

Footage of the "racist banter" was earlier today picked up by influential US media gossip blog Gawker.

Watch the footage at Gawker

"I for one would love to hear what Penny Wong, the no-nonsense Asian-Australian Labor senator who was meowed at in parliament, has to say about it," Gawker said.

"Her nuclear death stare could certainly be put to good use on this drongo."

Australian Story - Dr Charlie Teo

This has already been broadcast and can be viewed on iView for the next month or so.



Introduced by Steve Waugh
This week's program is about Sydney neurosurgeon Charlie Teo.

Teo is an enigma in his own profession, loved by patients but unpopular with some in the medical establishment.

He is credited with prolonging the lives of many people with tumours that were considered inoperable.

Former Australian cricket captain Steve Waugh says Charlie Teo saved his wife's life...

This program revisits the Teo phenomenon and brings his story up to date.
