Don Ho the singer escapes protests

August 20th, 2009

One of the top Viet singers was almost subject to a protest over a star that appears on a poster for an August concert at Bally’s in Atlantic City. This poster, the one pictured above.

See that star? Yep, that’s what community groups upon community groups were threatening a boycott over.

The hapless victim, singing sensation Don Ho, hurriedly sent out a massive email and a profuse apology and thereby averted any additional problems.

Now, if that reminds you of the “Macy’s star” belt buckle conundrum (read here and here), you would be absolutely correct. Even Don Ho made an allusion to it.

In an email sent to the “Vietnamese Community of Northeast U.S.” Don Ho wrote, “I know the community is very sensitive about stars, so I don’t own any star in my wardrobe or in my home, except for a star that I would put up at Christmas time like all Catholic families do.”

So now you know. And the Bolsavik has always thought that “fashion nazi” is just a figure of speech. Shows how the Bolsavik can be so very wrong.

    this is why certain people in the community act the way they do. theres never a reason apologize when you dont have to. so many people walk on eggshells for fear they might upset a bunch of stupid idiots. this don ho (who by the way sucks) is only encouraging the stupid idiots.

  5. JustAGirl Says:

    No, Jung Kim, you are the epitome of crazy…and stupid…and ugly.

  6. Laul Says:

    Guys like Ngo Ky need to be put away for harrassing members of our community over nothing. Too many people with nothing to do out there.

    A few immoral and lunatic Viets tarnished the good cause of all Viet refugees…

    I saw 8 stars on this poster ! let’s see who are the Communist singers ?

    4 yellow stars are near Lam Truong, Thuy Tien, Minh Tuyet & Nguyen Hung but they wear dark or white clothes so they are OK.

    1 white star is on Diem Lien stomach, she got a purple dress but the lower part is kind of reddy/brown so I think Diem Lien may be is a leftist singer.

    Now, wait a minute, I see half of a yellow star near Nguyen Hung’s head, and it’s on a reddish background, so I think Nguyen Hung is NOT OK at I first thought. This guy must be another leftist singer !

    And finally the infamous singer Don Ho, oh my God, this guy undoubtly is a hardcore Communist singer : he’s wearing something very close to RED, and he got a YELLOW star on his chest … and holy cow, there is another yellow star nears him on the browny/reddish background.

    Don Ho is a Communist singer ! Don Ho is a Communist singer !

    SwineQueen, good one! You make me laugh the sh!t out of me.

    Wait a minute everyone. Are we living in a free country or still in VN? These anti-commie thugs are not different from the commies themselves. I long suspected we vietnamese are not struggling for the ideology per se, but we as the people are lowering ourselves to the laughing stock of civilization through the way we think and act. As a famous saying goes, “Any kind of people deserves its own government,” I have serious doubt that a non-commie government in VN would be any different from the current one. Luckily, younger generations both in VN and overseas seem to realize that the only way to go forward is to get rid of these thugs, both commies and anti-commies.

  21. No Commie, please. Says:

    Give me a break! You should boycott all products from Nike, KFC, Pizza Huts, Nokia and hundreds of other US companies which are doing business es with the Viet Communists at this time and see how far you will get. Good luck. Need to spend your energy on the bigger battles not this useless, ridiculous issue. Need to know which one is or is not important. BTW, I hate communists!.

  22. Bo May Says:

    Now, come to think of iy. Ky Ngo sported a pair of Nike when he was doing the clown act on Bolsa, he gotta be a commie.
    Thanks No commie. Now we have to go to Ky Ngo’s house to protest.
    ‘DOWN WITH COMMUNIST!’

  23. chau nguyen Says:

    Democracy starts with a revolution at home. The next time one of your elders starts spewing his crazy anti-commie rhetoric, just reach across that dining room table and punch him in the mouth.

  24. Oh oh Says:

    Psychos are spilling out of Little Saigon! Hohoho!

  25. Dragon Says:

    Old Viet politicos are a bunch of retards. The only consolation for the younger generation is that you’ll soon be either dead, or too busy soiling your panties to continue making us look like idiots.

    Seriously…just step aside and we’ll show you how it’s done…’cuz you’re doing it wrong.

  26. Don Ho Says:

  27. Commie Wall Street Says:

    Wall Street now sells Vietnamese stocks. Wall Street is turning communist. All good Viets must boycott Wall Street.

  28. Political colors Says:

    Attention bloggers:

    Due to common problem that many of our folks currently suffer from advanced stage of senility and verbal degeneration , the discussion of communist ideology will be conducted with color placards only.

    Red for communist and yellow for anti-communist.

    No other colors, please. Too many colors might exacerbate blood pressure problem for many of our folks.

    omgggggg~ lame!

  30. dave Says:

    Hmmm Don Ho is probably one of the most Americanized singer in the bunch. This is so ridiculous but I’m glad that Don Ho tried to resolve it and not have it bursted into bigger problems. These old folks are always making a big deal out of such a tiny problem. Get a freeaking real job!!
