First of all... thank you to all the people who have e-mailed me
and posted regarding the articles I post.  It gives me that special
warm gushy feeling at night to know you all care.

I came accross this thread and thought it would be fun to be
involved with the project.... (you could put me on TV - I have lots to
say)  anyways... as I was watching the Olympics last night several
alternative commerical ideas came to mind.

"Sticks and Stones"
The scene starts off completely black... a child playing idly with a piano
can be heard... a little girl can be heard reciting the playground
anthem "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never harm
me" then the scene switches to quick cuts of several prominate U.S. politicians
and business leaders slamming Japan (all of these are in black and white)
with alternating cuts to quick takes of a dramatization of vincent chin
getting the shit beat out of him (this is in color).  After all is done,
the screen fades to black and shows the words "Be Aware."

"Webster"
The scene starts off with a black screen with the webster dictionary's
definition of lynching.  Then the defintion fades to black, and some
big bass hard hitting rap comes on strong.  Then brief cuts from
several lynchings of asians - from the massacre of Chinese miners at
Rock Springs, Wyoming Territory, 1886 - ending with scenes of Koreatown
buring down.  The screen fades to black, but the music remains... and
the screen reads "And the beat goes on..."

"Matriarical Love"
The scene opens up to an idyllic lake at sunset, a small boat sits idly
in the center of the picturesque beauty.  A small beautiful asian american
girl looks up at her wonderfully attractive mother and asks "Mommy...
what's an American look like?" to which the mother responds "Someone
who's white [regardless of where they were born, as long as they live
here] Or Black and sometimes Hispanic [as long as they are not too
Hispanic]".  The child, now confused responds "Oh."  Fade to black...

"Our Penis' are Bigger than your Brains"
The scene opens up to two big rednecks in a dimly lit, smoke filled pool
hall.  The two rednecks (Hoss and Boss) are verbally abusing a Long
Duck Dong type Asian.  "Pencil Dick" raspes one... "Bug Fucker!" hisses
the other (the food between his teeth now evident) Just when all looks
hopeless for the poor guy the door to the establishment explodes and there
is a huge naked muscle bound asian american man at the door.  He steps in
through the smoke and looks slowly around the room.  Then, ALA 
Terminator 2, the naked man's penis morph's into various stabbing and
knife like weapons.  A scene of incredible and gratuitous violence takes
place.  The naked asian man leaves, once again he is victorious.

"Trade Imbalance"
The scene starts of completely black.  Voice over [james earl-jones?]
talks about what evil bastards and unfair traders the Japanese are.
The voice then goes on to explain that asian americans are just as bad.
Scene shifts to a young asian american man admitting his guilt "We
send you all our women" - scene briefly cuts to show asian female and
white male relationships - "and we do not take anything from you.  Well...
that's about to change... there is one thing we do want... some... 
......HUMAN HEADS!"  A scene of incredible violence occurs with mostly
old helpless caucasian women being beheaded by young asian american men
weilding axes.

That is all I could think of off the top of my head.  Does that help
your cause at all?
