I think that Yao Ming is the twin of Bert from Sesame Street, and that a horrible mistake was made that separated them at birth. Here are the pics, you be the judge: Apart from the different hairstyles, the similarity is uncanny.
Actually, the black and white photo IS Yao... taken when he was arrested after tonight's game. He was caught running around in traffic on the Southwest Freeway, leaping over cars while dribbling a basketball. After questioning by Houston's finest, Yao was understood to have been yelling, in Chinese, "they won't pass me the ****ing ball. I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore!!!". He was also said to be foaming at the mouth and mumbling "french fries... the ****er!!! Grrr!!", in English. The Sargent at the station was overheard to have remarked, "He really CAN speak some English. The poor fellow... why don't they pass him the ball in the post?". The other officers were said to have joined him in a heated discussion, but the reporter was asked to leave. More details as they are available.
I think Yao looks actually more like Ernie. Anyways, this is a dumb topic and I am just dumb enough to add to it.
im infuriated! this is the most racist thread i have ever read. are you saying that ming looks like bert just because hes chinese? what, do all chinese people look like sesame street characters to you. do you think that north koreas president kim looks like the count too? you would think that in the 21st century there would be a little more sensitivity.
Not only are you reading way too much into this goofy thread I started, Jo mama, you are a total loser to even bother to respond to it with any seriousness whatsoever. It has nothing to do with racism, I just think he looks like Bert. Think "uni-brow."
Ridiculous. I'll grant you that the Yao and Bert actually don't look at all alike. But, to suggest there is any racial element in the comparison is just plain weird.
hahaha.. go buy a sense of humor. it is a lame joke, nothing more, nothing less.. if you see more than that, it is your problem.. actually, Yao=Big Bird the heights match up..
I think jo mama was being sarcastic? My little chinese cousin is the proud owner of a bad head shot that makes him look like fraggle rock.
This is the lamest joke I've ever heard. Certainly not worth a new thread. Clutch, please lock /move this to ROCKETS JOKE.
You think I'm being rascist and your screen name is "Jo Mama?" I'm infuriated at your insenstivity to the African-American community. LOL! Mods, feel free to remove this thread, I agree it is very stupid.
It wasn't racist and it was kinda funny. I would love to see 'Jo Mama' take an ink blot test. Every blot would seem to be anti-asian.
Mr. White: Give me that f*&king book Joe: Why did you take my book for? Mr. White: For the past fifteen minutes you've been mumbling.. Tobey?...Tobey Wong? Tobey Chung? F*&kin Charlie Chan. I got Madonna's di*k coming in my left ear and Tobey Wong in my right!!
