A couple of years ago, Guest Offender Konrad, my friend Cate and I were attending the Berlin Film Festival. Starving for Asian food, we discovered a Chinese restaurant by our hotel. Now, I’ve tried some Asian places in Berlin and they just all suck. Terrible! But we had no choice and ordered food. We were the first in the restaraunt so we just started ordering the very fake Chinese food items catered to German tastes.
Then, all of a sudden, I heard THAT song. The one racist “dadada-da-da-dun-dun-dun” song. You know what I mean; it’s the opening notes to The Vapors’ ode to masturbation, “Turning Japanese” or made even more famous in Carl Douglas’ “Kung Fu Fighting.” Most recently, McG and Kirsten Dunst did an idiotic version too.
