Apologies in advance, I just couldn't resist slapping this together.

I try to resist giving attention to every spasm of bigotry in the media, but today I just have to ask: Joseph Brean, you seem to be a respectable reporter for a respectable paper. So what were you thinking here? I mean beyond "the Dalai Lama is one of those Asian guys who talks funny OMG LOL"

Dear Diary: The Dalai Lama
As imagined by Joseph Brean, National Post

MONDAY

Big surprise. China angry. Very very outrage. Same old, same old. How many time I make tour America? How many time I shake hands Bill Clinton, George Bush, Richard Gere? Every time, Beijing, "This seriously damage relations with China. Dalai Lama is serpent head. Dalai Lama is cat's paw." Sound silly, my opinion. What is "cat's paw" anyway? Chinese people sometime speak so bad English...

Talk to us, Joseph Brean.

After detailing Soulja Boy's disdain for "professional typing," hiphopdx dropped this tidbit from Scarface, his take on the Soulja Boy phenomenon:

“I can’t say nothin’ bad about his music, ’cause the kids like it,” the Houston vet remarked. “My daughter thinks he’s the best rapper in the world. My kids don’t like my shit, so that tells you something right there. Tell that dude to call me. He could do my MySpace page, ’cause I need one. I want that little dude to blow me up on MySpace like he blew up. I’m being real as fuck. He got that MySpace shit goin’ nuts.”
