“Attack of the Cho!” or “It’s Cho-Time!” or “Chatanooga Cho-Cho”
Maybe this is too soon for this post but I have address something. Obviously the Virginia Tech Shootings were absolutely horrible and very tragic. But that doesn’t mean I can’t find my own selfish way to react to the tragedy.
I guess what really bothers me is the confusion after the tragedy. For instance the papers have been writing about Cho Seung-Hui, the gunman in the shootings nonstop since last week. Articles like “Cho was accused of stalking” or “State laws should have prevented Cho from buying a gun.” or “Cho served time in a mental institution.” The problem really is that every time I see these headlines, I get confused for a few moments, thinking it’s about comedienne Margaret Cho.
I know it’s a brain fart, but it’s not easy to shake. I wonder what happened to Margaret Cho that made her crazy, or why she purchased a gun? Was it so she could finally hunt down her Republican enemies who do probably have a lot of members on the Virginia Tech Campus?
And surprisingly, there are a lot of similarities between the two. Both hated the beauracracy of the simple minded authorities, in Margaret’s case, the Republicans and homo-phobes, in Seng-Hui’s case, the pedophile teachers and parents. They were also both Asian. And there’s something else similiar about them that I couldn’t put my finger on until I found these two pictures.
They’re the same person! Paging Michael and Janet Jackson: You’ve been out-done! I bet Cho escaped Hannibal Lecter style by putting on his Margaret Cho wig and flying to San Francisco for a night of scathing queer comedy! Call Jodie Foster y’all!
