He's working on a bachelors in math?! I thought this guy was retarded mentally impaired.

So when is Hillary Clinton going to figure out the same?

I'm sure he'll soon be pulled back into the spotlight when asked to appear on VH1's I Love a Week Ago Last Tuesday.

The guy wrung a four year showbiz career and probably more money than I'll make in the next twenty out of a complete lack of talent. I award him "props" for that.

He should become a porn star named "Well Hung."

As an Iowan, I take exception to his comment of the remoteness of this state.

\oh, who am I kidding?
\\It's like living in purgatory
\\\only with lots of corn

Is William Hung?

 
linc654 2008-04-23 10:56:36 AM  
I (heart) Hung.
I agree that he may have HUNG in a little longer than he should have but I think that he deserves the props given him above. I think he may have been in on the joke but willing to admit I could be wrong. He's alright in my book. No, I don't watch American Idol but did see him once or twice - a baseball game maybe? Anyway, cheers Mr. Hung.

Just you wait. He will be a dominant force in mathematics. He will knock out Fermat's Last Theorem or something, and will then sing "We Are The Champions" when he gets a Nobel in something.

"I don't realize that I have a lot of fans until I travel around the world.

"It's very surprising. I could go to the most remote place like Iowa and people still know who I am."


Iowa, remote? Perhaps, to people who live on the coasts and never hear any news about this part of the country. Just as long as Will Hung doesn't consider traveling to Iowa the same as traveling "around the world."

/Missouri here

Back in '04, I heard some girl say, "It's so sad that they're making fun of him, because he's retarded."

Ummm....retarded kids don't major in engineering at UC Berkeley.

/Dork, yes.

I could happen.

Since he's at CSU Northridge, Chatsworth and Van Nuys are close by.

I'm here to stick up for my fellow Golden Bear brethren. Unlike most of the no-talent pop stars that take themselves way too seriously, Hung managed to keep America quietly rooting for him, even as song after song continued to make our eardrums bleed. I hope his foray into fame garnered him lots of greenbacks and even more sweet, delicious, pussy. I hope Willy Boy is successful and happy in whatever endeavors he chooses.



Good on you, Hung-y. Go gentle into that good night. You've earned it.

Shut up Missouri. At least we wear shoes up here.

See? This is why the cries for "racism" are not always warranted, specially when we're talking about entertainment characters.

This guy made a buck by taking advantage of the "perceived stereotype" about East Asians.

Where are all the "racism" denouncers now?


/this poster acknowledges the existence of real racism.

 
Halfmast Trousers [TotalFark] 2008-04-23 12:35:44 PM  
I saw William Hung at LAX once. He was going through security ahead of us. There was a little whispering among a couple people, but no major fanfare.

If only all Asian entertainers were like William Hung, right?

I've seen him walking around Berkeley a couple of times. Both times he was grinning like an idiot and looked as if he expected to be mobbed by his "fans" at any moment. No wonder people think he's retarded. Certainly not a great advertisement for UC Berkeley.

 
mid6000tek 2008-04-23 02:32:36 PM  
He was Grand Marshall of the Bonnaroo parade one year. It was awesome.

\Lots of folks were upset at this.
\\I laughed.

 
sarahelizabeth 2008-04-23 02:33:52 PM  
I'm late for "The Office" and "Arrested Development" references.

And I believe the most remote area where no one would know him would be either Wyoming or Northeastern Colorado. Iowa isn't remote. Most people have heard of Iowa or at least know the general area plus they also have cable and the internet there.

 
mlkmandan 2008-04-23 03:04:25 PM  
I got a "sponsored link" at the bottom that reads: "Yellow Teeth are Ugly"

1) It ain't just the teeth
2) Dat's racist, some chinks have perfectly fine teeth

Why? That sounds just like most people at UC Berkeley.

He was SO in on the joke that all of the people making fun don't realize that the joke was on THEM.

"Hey this guy can't sing! Isn't that funny? Let's put him all over the TV and the internet because he thinks he can sing but we know that he can't! ha! We're so smart and clever! Huh? What's that? We're on the brink of WWIII in the Middle East and my communications service providers are required to allow the government to intercept all of my communications? So what!!! William hung thinks he can sing! Oh that American Idol, what a great show!"
