3/21    Ack! William Hung songs available on itunes. It seems people are
        willing to buy anything these days.
        \_ Cal Pride!
        \_ He was #1 for the longest time.

        The next William Hung is a female singer
        \_ Did you miss the Southpark episode featuring Wing?
            \_ Just saw it, pretty hilarious. They should've had an episode
               with William Hung in it.
           \_ I swear.  SP gets more fucked up each season.  Did you see the
              erection episode?

4/6     Heck, I'll try it. Anybody here know where one can buy a string (i.e
        Brazilian as opposed to thong) bikini brief? Thongs seems to have
        driven strong bikinis off the mkt and my so won't wear thongs.
        \_ La Perla, Agent Provocateur (if you want to make a good
           impression), Victoria's Secret (so-so, overpriced & sometimes
           lacks quality apparently), Janet Reger, and pretty much any
           lingerie store around.  Don't be shy about walking in and asking
           for help.  I assume this is for women's underwear.  For swimwear,
           try http://wickedweasel.com, or just STFW.  -John
           \_ Cosabella (Italian) on the higher end or
              La Senza (Canadian) on the lower end.
              \_ La Senza is pretty much what I was looking for. Thanks!
                 John, thank you, too. I neglected to mention that I'm
                 looking for underwear-ish stuff rather than lingerie. 78
                 pounds for a frickin' thong? I wonder how that compare by
                 weight with the price of gold?
                 \_ Victoria's Secret, as mentioned, is overpriced and bad
                    quality.  As for underwear vs. lingerie, we're not talking
                    Frederick's of Hollywood here (bad idea.)  There needn't
                    be a difference--a lot of female friends of mine wear
                    undie cuts that a few years ago you would have seen in the
                    back of men's mags--they tell me it's comfortable.  -John
                    back of men's mags--they tell me it's comfortable.  And
                    apologies for not considering that you might be on a
                    budget--H&M is pretty popular with students here, and
                    Princesse Tamtam, Huit as well.  -John
                 \_ Ya, La Senza is cheaper than VS but supposedly better.
                 \_ Sex >> Gold.
                    \_ GIve it up.  No one wants you in bed.
                        \_ With enough gold you can have almost anyone in
                           bed regardless of what you look like.
                           \_ well, no.
                                \_ actually he/she's right. just look at
                                   pop culture.

                                           \_ I knew a really nice (hot) girl
                                              who William Hung would call all
                                              the time. She had no interest in
                                              him but always always still very
                                              nice to him. Her boyfriend
                                              thought the whole situation was
                                              pretty funny (WH knew about him).
                                              \_ That means he probably
                                                 fucked her once. Pity fuck,
                                                 of course.
              \_ just a note. Cosabella gets rave reviews for comfort. --psb
                 \_ Thanks for the tip.
                    Just stopped into Nordstrom's to see about Cosabella.
                    Unfortunately, all they had was thongs. DKNY and CK both
                    actually had some nice string bikinis. I couldn't check
                    them for comfort, though...The search continues.
                        \_ Don't worry psb has already prechecked for comfort.

12/26   So apparently William Hung is really big in Asia. Has anyone
        bought a CD of his? I think it's sweet irony that he's become
        bigger and more famous than anyone on Teen Idol.
        \_ Does the motd go into reruns over the holidays?
        \_ My god, that retard is still on the news?

4/18    William Hung is the illegitimate love child of George W. Bush and an
        unnamed backwoods Arkansas crack dealer.
        \_ urlP?
           \_ Come on man- put 2 and 2 together.  They're both awkward in
              public.  They both have weird-looking eyes.  And they both act
              as though they have no idea of what most of the planet thinks
              of them.  Bush wasn't AWOL from the National Guard- it was
              paternity leave.  I'll leave the reverse photoshopping to you;
              we'll get Larry Flint to put up wanted posters throughout the
              Appalachians.
        \_ w00t!

4/7     This thought just occured to me and it's making me really depressed.
        As ugly as William Hung is, he's probably screwing a new chick
        every day. That is depressing.
        \_ He just said girls were friendlier to him.
        \_ http://csua.org/u/6t4?mercurynews.com
           \_ all right, I was wrong.  They apparently are a lot "friendlier".
              \_ Dude! She interviewed the UCD prof who made an Asian-American
                 porn film!  That's so awesome!  I thought his 15 minutes were
                 up after his spot on the Daily Show.
           \_ Civ Engs have to take classes like Psychology?
        \_ More depressing is that this is your outlook on life.
        \_ Why would this depress you?  You're at Cal.  There's about 15,000
           chicks out there.  You don't need more than 1 or 2 at a time.
        \_ No need to playa hate. Just congratulate.
        \_ That's the rock-n-roll lifestyle.

4/7     Why are girls attracted to idiots like William Hung?
        \_ Somebody's gotta fuck all you ugly sodans.
           \_ nice troll, but hung's civ eng
           \_ Remeber the Caltech womens' motto:
              "The odds are good, but the goods are odd."
              \_ This quote is from the PhD comic (originating at Stanford,
                 I think).
                 \_ This has been a saying at CalTech since at least
                    the early eighties. -ausman
        \_ Because he's genuine and not an overt asshole.
           \_ But those stupid bitches ALWAYS go for overt assholes, not NICE
              guys like ME!
              \_ I am sure this is a troll, but in any case, women don't
                 go for wussified "nice guys." They don't really go for
                 assholes, it just seems that way to you. They go for
                 confident, entertaining guys, some of whom are assholes.
                 \_ No shit sherlock.  That last post was troll/motd satire.
                    Ah well.  --evil troll
                 \_ Actually, no.  When I was in school it was always easier
                    to nail a chick if I treated her like crap.  The worse
                    I treated her the more slavish she behaved.  Treating
                    a college girl well but showing confidence in myself
                    (not being the pussified wimp) worked ok but required
                    more effort for less gain.
                    \_ Actually it's a little more complicated.  Most girls
                       can't distinguish between confident and asshole.  They
                       look similar to the untrained eye.  So many girls go
                       for confident and get asshole instead.
        \_ Well, chicks are attracted to money, fame, and power (and hunks).
           Hung at least has some fame and a bit of money. And he's not butt
           ugly. Do the math. (btw how good looking are these chicks?)
           \_ He's not butt ugly?  He's one of the ugliest motherfuckers
              walking the planet.  Sheesh.  Send me to your universe and
              I'd be Adonis.
              \_ Actually I didn't remember what he looked like. Google
                 shows me I was wrong. Well, he's not hideously ugly so much
                 as he sometimes looks vaguely retarded, like a down's kid.
                 But generally he's not that bad:
                 http://www.williamhung.net/viewphoto.cfm?d=Gallery&p=9
                 \_ Look at the rest of them. He is reasonably good looking,
                    especially when he smiles. He no Rock Hudson, but who is?
        \_ my old colleague looks kind of like william hung.  he hails
           from hk too.  real person has even better resemblance than
           photos here.

4/6     Reviews of William Hung's new CD on Amazon: http://csua.org/u/6s7
        \_ I have plenty of regrets, like not assaulting him on
           Sproul.  Hopefully he has enough money now to move
           out of a residential hotel.
           \_ $25 does not a house buy.
           \_ I'm sure you'd be more polite if he had a gun.
              \_ No, if he had a gun, he'd just be asking for it and he'd be
                 more likely to get shot or injured, not less.  Unarmed people
                 are always safer.  It's simple logic.

2/17    HE WHO LAUGHS LAST...: The Associated Press reported late Tuesday that
        William Hung, the UC Berkeley engineering student who became a
        pop-culture phenomenon after being bounced rather icily from an
        "American Idol" audition, will be awarded a $25,000 check from the
        Fuse music channel on Wednesday, and a record deal from Koch
        Entertainment. The deal reportedly includes Hung recording a music
        video that will air on Fuse. The presentation, according to AP, was to
        be made at a UC Berkeley volleyball game tonight.

           people so obsessed over him?
           \_ I don't understand why people are still watching this show.
              It's the same crap repeated over and over again with
              different losers each time.
           \_ I think it's the wide-eyedness of his performance.  He doesn't
              hold anything back, and isn't concerned at all with how he
              appears.  He's going balls out for something he wants, and is

           when he talks and from his quotes and major at Berkeley, he seems
           intelligent.
           \_ he may not be a retard, but i doubt he's that smart either.

           \_ From some viewing angles he looks like he has down's syndrome,
              but I don't think he does.

                \_ OH. MY. GOD. Well even if he had the looks and the voice,
                   he would not have made it. He doesn't do kung-fu/karate.
