Rolling Stone.com: William Hung inspires DVD.
Ok, I spoke too soon. :-(
You know, I have mixed feelings about Will and his rise to fame (infame?). He's exemplary of all the bad stereotypes of Asian males (in particular, Asian engineers, of which I guess I must include myself), and the media is exploiting his character to the fullest.
But then again, he definitely seemed to be a genuinely nice guy, at least at the beginning, and therefore deserving of some props. Like he had more balls ("kintama!!!") than any of the engineering nerds I knew in going to the initial audition. Hope he gets all the freebie babe groupies he can before his meme goes stale.
