My Korean roots are very evident in my face so I went to Koreatown where I hoped to find glasses that could meet at the bridge of my nose. I failed miserably. Not only did they not have the glasses required to improve my eyesight, the bridge question was never resolved. It seems that many of the Asian makers of fine optical accoutrement do not take into account their own physical heritage. Every pair, Eastern or Western felt uncomfortable, slid down my face....

Is she the comedienne I've seen on youtube talking about her Korean mother and Father?


If so she's hilarious! Very Happy

That's just silly. Not one of her better jokes, for sure.

Hey, good one. That's what I'll do after posting this.

PS. Check out the videos of the Korean guy on Mad TV.

Margret Cho is probably that comedian you are thinking of.

And yes, she has a very traditional korean nose with no bridge at all.

She does the accent dead on. One of my friends speaks just like that.

Great recommendation, I'm loving it.

'Medium with Bae Sung', the girl who plays Alison is brilliant.

'Bobby Lee tries not to eat'...another gem!

I don't think it's supposed to be a joke. I read the whole thing and it's more of a rant. She does make a good point that glasses are designed with nose bridges in mind. I wonder how people without one are able to wear glasses.

Check this one. I didn't know she was this good of an actress...just wait. It starts about halfway through.
