There’s a Job Opening at ESPN…Probably

Sometimes I wonder if we're DEvolving as a society.

Sure, I'm not even positive that a real word…but hear me out.

Remember years ago when Hollywood used to cast Jerry Lewis or Mickey Rooney as Asians?  Yeah…doesn't happen anymore.  Why?!?  Because we have real Asian actors to play the roles on both television and movies.

Then, that whole KTVU thing happened.  Oh, you know the story.  It goes something like this: "Sum Ting Wong," "Wi Tu Lo," "Ho Lee Fuk," and "Bang Ding Ow"…do I need to continue?  Just when we thought we were done finding Asian stereotypes the least bit humorous, the thing in San Francisco happens and now…this.

Yeah.  That Japanese Little Leaguer's favorite singer is Wandai Wrection and, no, you won't find the singer (or band, for that matter) anywhere.  Why?  Because Wandai Wrection doesn't exist.

Now, I'm hopeful that Nagiru Hiramatsu was playing a prank on ESPN, but, for some reason, I'm guessing he wasn't.  I'm guessing that what happened is exactly what we're all thinking what happened…some goof running CGs thought it would be funny to make a "Wandai Wrection/One Direction" gag courtesy The Worldwide Leader.

But the joke's on you, buddy…you're probably going to be out of a job soon.
