Yao's Comfort Food Too much negativity lately... let's talk about shrimp instead Video: http://hk.youtube.com/watch?v=BdPdKKUbD9M Article http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/bk/bkn/6123703.html The continuing melodrama of Charles Barkley and Dwyane Wade and, of course, their cellular telephones, launched a new season Thursday night with the addition to the mix of Rockets center Yao Ming and a bowl of live shrimp. In the advertisement for T-Mobile, which premiered Thursday night on TNT, Barkley and Wade are presented at a Chinese restaurant with what the waitress describes as Yao’s favorite dish – drunken shrimp, which are freshwater shrimp delivered to the table alive but stunned by immersion in a potent Chinese liquor. Barkley, who as we know from a previous T-Mobile advertisement does not eat shrimp, and Wade balk at the delicacy but are prodded by the cook, the waitress and Yao. The center calls in from his mobile phone as one of Barkley’s “Fave Five” with instructions to “eat … the … head … eat … the … head.” Barkley and Wade, of course, decline. “Charles might even be a better actor than he was a basketball player,” Yao said in remarks released by the company. “I really like how the commercial turned out, but next time they better really eat the shrimp.” The new spot, titled “Yao’s Comfort Food” and produced by Publicis West USA in Seattle, is the first of three in T-Mobile’s fourth season of NBA-themed advertisements, said Jenna Beardsley-Smith, the company’s director of advertising. She would not say which players would appear in the future spots. “We liked the international flavor of it, coming off the heels of the Olympics,” she said. “It reflects the international flavor of the NBA. Yao was a good fit, and he is a very funny man.” By the way, Beardsley-Smith said no shrimp were actually harmed during the filming of the commercial.
They showed this comericail at TC last night...i would of laughed if we weren't getting our asses wooped...pretty funny though
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drunken_shrimp As far as I know not all Chinese like it, and I'll stick with my chicken/steak diet.......
Yao's favourite is what can help him gain some weight lest being knocked off when he is in collision with a beast like Perkins. But the fact seems to be that he's eaten something that made him refuse to think about eating again, maybe he's eaten something Kobe has eaten too. They got that thing from Shaq, precisely from his ass or... ... "everybody, Kobe, tell me how my **** taste."
That was actually pretty funny. Guess thats why dwade is in a lot of commercials, he's a pretty good actor.
