comment on a comment
ok, so you’re free to leave whatever comments you would like to on my site. normally, i’ll have no comment on that comment. HOWEVER.
recently, i’ve noticed a spike in hits on my site due to people searching for one ‘william hung’ of american idol fame (or infamy). at any rate, for some inexplicable reason, people are searching for william hung on sites like google… i’m guessing that their thought process goes something like this…
“oh geez. i want to see more about that american idol asian kid… what was his name.. something hong? maybe michael hong? yeah that sounds right”
so they go ahead and type michael hong and find my site. not a big deal, since i don’t mind extra hits. but i just couldn’t take any more after i saw this comment posted a few days ago, by a girl who calls herself, “Nicole”.
Nicole commented…“Michael Hong is getting rich because he can’t sing that is not fair that stupid chineese person”
just for clarification.
MICHAEL HONG / WILLIAM HUNG
YES we both have seven character first names and four character last names. YES, we’re both asian. YES, it’s true we both can’t sing, YES i know i look chinese, and YES we both have fan clubs.
though it’s true that i am a true american idol, i am not the american idol you are looking for. thus the site’s name, michaelhong.com. you should probably go check out williamhung.net if you want to see the other american idol.
sorry nicole.
cease and desist

Grey Tuesday
So why has michaelhong.com gone grey? Today is Grey Tuesday.
Check out greytuesday.org for more information.
To be honest with you, the Grey Album has really highlighted a grey area in compulsory licensing. This area really needs to be more clearly defined, and this is a great way to draw attention to the need of reasonable copyright law that would allow DJs such as Danger Mouse to sample from extensive library collections.
Check out the Grey Album. And if you haven’t already, def. check out the Black Album and the White Album.
