YouTube’s Answer to Mitt n’ Rudy? The LCP! - by Adrian

youtubes-answer-to-mitt-n-rudy-the-lcp-by-adrian

In the parlance of the intertubewebnets: “Kewl! WOOT! All your racists are belong to us.”

In honor of the ghoulishly hateful Republican debate on Tuesday, the videos featured on YouTube’s main page yesterday were all politically themed. Little did any of us realize that among the videos chosen to be featured was the LCP’s very own “Mex vs BC (Born Citizen) Pt. 2 - JOBS”.

It’s gotten over a quarter million views in just the couple of days since being on the main page. Happily, the suddenly heavy viewership of this one video seems to have spilled over to the rest of the videos in the “Mex vs. BC” series. The rapidly multiplying viewer comments are, as always, colorful.

The LCP is glad we could be of some relevance in elevating the ongoing immigration “discourse”…

I’d strangle a brown person in their sleep!” “Well, I’d slowly torture them until they begged for death!” “Would not!” “Would too!” “Nuh-UH!”

How To Be A Semi-Informed Voter - by Adrian

how-to-be-a-semi-informed-voter-by-adrian

The LCP gets a mention today at lapolitica.com in an article about Latino polticial videos online (apparently, there aren’t enough). You can read the entire fascinating article by Luis Clemens here, but below is the snippet mentioning the LCP’s work, along with a partial quote of a sentence I uttered:

“The single-most popular Latino political video online is a parody of the trailer for the movie ‘300.’ The 65 second long video clip amusingly makes the point that immigration from Mexico is unstoppable. It was produced by the Austin-based Latino Comedy Project whose artistic director, Adrian Villegas, says ‘we didn’t specifically push it in any way.’ And yet, the video has been viewed more than one million times in three months on YouTube alone.”

Interesting. I thought “the single-most popular Latino political video online” was the exciting Hillary Clinton-Bill Richardson one-on-one debate “re-enactment” over at the website “8th Street Latinas”.

8th Street Latinas: For all your election update needs.

 

Their vigorous debate “re-enactment” was so riveting, I’ve watched it eleven times already (as one must, to divine policy distinctions). However, there are some staging inaccuracies which I can’t quite explain. For example, I don’t recall Hillary being a long-haired brunette who repeatedly screams “Papi!” in a near-unintelligible Honduran accent. Nor has Bill Richardson ever been, to my recollection, thin (although he has been sweaty).

*WARNING: SHAMELESSLY LOWBROW CAPTION HUMOR AHEAD!!!*

“Hilaria” Vs. “Guillermo”: Master Debaters Pumping Democracy Into The Body Politic.

 

*BOO-YAH!*

Anyway…

They’re calling their election coverage “Insertion ‘08″. I don’t get it. And I don’t understand why all their debate match-ups have to feature Hillary in some way either. She may be the front-runner, but other candidates deserve to be heard too. Our democracy thrives on the marketplace of ideas. Do we really need another debate segment featuring Hillary and a physically abusive Dennis Kucinich midget lookalike who requires the use of a foot stool to get the job done? “Nay,” I say. Nay.

I know the presidential election still awaits, as it always does, on that fateful Wednesday in February, but…

Should I consider getting my political news elsewhere?

‘300′ YouTube Comments: The Crackas Who Love To Hate (Part 1) - by Adrian

300-youtube-comments-the-crackas-who-love-to-hate-part-1-by-adrian

Despite all evidence to the contrary, national pundits like immigration-obsessed CNN host Lou Dobbs disingenuously pretend there is no racial aspect to the current immigration policy “discussion”.

Dobbs: “Mention of Mexicans’ filthy brown skin has no place in a proper immigration debate.”

 

One of the most fascinating developments of the Latino Comedy Project’s “300″ video’s far-flung international exposure (over ONE MILLION VIEWS on YouTube, bitches!) has been the intense response it’s provoked in the comments section. Specifically, the video’s ironic and exaggerated use of immigration”invasion” imagery seems to have provoked an endless stream of comments that can most charitably be categorized as “Vintage Retro-Racist Harangue Chic.”

Vintage Racist.

 

Our nation’s closet racists are often unfairly stereotyped as a monolithic group, but in fact, I’ve discovered that their prolific writings represent an intellectually diverse strain of thought. So I’ve organized their “300″ comments into categories accurately reflecting both the content of the comments and the character of their authors (my own running observations are in bold italics).

Are these comments “monolithic”? Hardly. “Unsettling”? Perhaps. “Fucking stupid as shit and richly deserving of a merciless Mexican beatdown the likes of which haven’t been seen since the infamous Latin Kings Involuntary Beat-In Massacre of ‘89″?

Let’s not rush to judgment.

Coming Soon to White Suburbia: The Latin Kings “Bridges To Tolerance” Tour.

 

A single blog entry isn’t nearly enough to adequately explore all facets of this subculture, so it will be divided into several parts. Keep in mind: this is not a parody of racist comments. These are actual comments by actual persons somewhere in the United States who took the time to actually type these words.

Let’s begin with the more basic psychological deficits and work our way down, shall we…?

THE IRONICALLY CHALLENGED

HVPinc: “…It was like watching a documentary.”

jcc6767: “This [video] was a very well done piece of historical fact.”

THE MILITARY PORN FANTASIST


        Never let it be said these people aren’t “solution-oriented…”- A.

Hpeviscerate: “OK, I think I got it…. Suffice it to say, we need a giant mionefield (sic) across the border and if that dont work mines, pungee pits, motion-sensitive, fully-automatic sentry guns, and border dogs. then maybe a wall…”

ar15expert : “Two .50 Cal. M2 BMG crews and some land mines. Problem solved.”

boozehound420: “1 gattling gun wielding texan and there (sic) all gone.”

Lean, mean comment-postin’ machine.

 

camilleinchicago: “Notice how the only weapons they use (brooms, pregnant bellies) are things that don’t require a brain to operate. Bring in a couple AC-130’s and we’ll be in business.”

ac-vs-preg-vs.JPG

My money’s on the belly.

 

jcc6767 : “A Sniper every 1000 yds is only three per mile…..or a total of 5,100 snipers in 8 hr shifts for a grand total of 15,300 troops for the entire border….It’s very workable and should be implemented….. The amount of money our country would save would pay for the deployment 100 times over annually.”

        Psychotic, yet fiscally responsible. I like!- A.

THE AMATEUR ETHNOLOGISTS

SourBreastMilk: “Mexicans are just the mutt offspring of the noble Spanish and the filthy heart eating natives.”

YoungRoy: “What culture? Your country has garbage fields, pregnant girls and drunken men. Oh, yeah. I’d hate to leave that behind. :/ ”

ethnologist.jpg

“Despite the illusion of communicating through an oral orifice, the Amateur Ethnologist is actually speaking out his asshole.”

 

AmazonChitlin: “Best at making anchor babies, yes. Best at making a taco, yes. Best at blowing leaves off my porch, yes. Best people? No.”

        Was this commenter’s conception the best use of human DNA? No. -A.

Cribster: “This reflects the true nature of the invaders, not that ‘just here to work’ BS.”

Ooga001: “you filthy beaner. STFU. go back to your sombrero touting beaner country you pinche putta. lol. Don’t you dare compare Gandhi to you strawberry-picking wetbacks! you worthless beaners just steal, commit other crimes, fuck all day and make children, and fuck up the whole place.”

        Commit crimes and fuck all day? Shit, I WISH. - A

AllStar182: “i wouldn’t mind so much if they came here LEGALLY, and if 80% of them weren’t slobs who litter and play their crappy music ridiculously loud.”

        “Rollin’ in my Six-Fo, bumpin’ Los Tigres Del Norte, fuck tha mundo!” - A.

los-tigres-2.JPG

“But this accordion goes to eleven - Del Norte SIIIIDE!”

 

matthewdoodledog: “As a white person I am not offended by this video. Although it is a 100% accurate description of how mexicans and brazilians enter the country, like the freeloading child rearing wetbacks they are”

        Ha ha, see? No need for anyone to be offended…No, wait. -A.

ThunderNoTube: “Only the mestizo could approach the nappiness of the lowly negro. These short, squat, brown, dim-witted caricatures of earliest Humanity are appalling to all that are unfortunate enough to observe them. They have no value in this or any other nation. NO war for Israel!”

        Webster’s Dictionary defines a “non sequitur” as “a statement that appears logically unrelated to the preceding Israeli cyborg assassins walk among us.” -A.
