Reader Mail: Sara Defends Kevin Hu
Last week we posted this wonky pic of Kevin Hu rebelling against his parents and hitting on Yoshiko.
Sara writes in with a Performative Leniency defense:
———
This guy is a break-dancer named Hok- he was on a couple of reality dance shows a few years ago, and now he dances for LMFAO. On the shows he always seemed like a pretty nice guy, not douchey at all- not that dancing for LMFAO is guinine, but I think money in dancing is kinda hard to come by.
Pretty sure that shit on his arm is actually a spray on for some show (he’s wearing his LMFAO pants).
He should get a nottadouche pass for a performance clause.

Dammit. Hoised on my own Performance Leniency clause.
Theatricality that may appear douchey is sometimes forgiven if theatricality is called for, that is true. For instance, Gene Simmons is nottadouche when dressed up for Kiss, but isadouche when acting like, well, Gene Simmons.
But for Kevin? Not in service of impressing Yoshiko.
Sorry, Sara. None shall pass.
Whatever. Douche.
He’s super. Thanks for asking.
Sara (I hope she pronounces it “Sah-rah” rather than “See-ra”) puts forward a bad defence all around, although it became particularly scaly when she mentioned ‘a couple of reality dance shows.’ Two words, Sara: one of ’em is reality and the other is not dance.
Just sayin.’ Go in peace anyway.
Wait a minute. The guy’s wearing this shit for his job. He’s getting paid to dance. And he’s in a pic with a hot chick with an outstanding body. He gets notta from me.
Break Dancing ??? what is this 1985 ? If I see people wearing parachute pants and carrying around pieces of cardboard I may not be able to contain my rage. I had to live through that horrible place in time once already, can’t do it again. No pass for Kevin. If your collecting a check for being a douche, you’re still a douche.
I’m just glad we got a second coming of Yoshiko
.
Well, I came for a second time, at least…
CLOSE BUT NO CIGAR.
He gets a notta, not for Performance Leniency, but for Gaybag qualifiers:

.
His jazz performance of “The Hummingbird and the Flower,” choreographed by Wade Robson, won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Choreography in 2008.
.
Hok says one of his favorite moves consists of “using my hands to play puzzle games.”
.
A past student in graphic design, outside of dance Hok enjoys drawing, painting, designing, and playing the violin. Listing many inspirations, Hok says he is most inspired by that which brings beauty to his eyes.
Besides, Wiki Answers is never wrong:

Meh. He’s no Baryshnikov
Fucking Wiki Answers says Mikhail was straight. Stupid Wiki Answers.

Dude, Fred, …..Baryshnikov fucked every startlet in Hollywood and New York. A coccksman. Coccksman , I says
Ya know, half of these gook whores are serving officers in the Viet Cong; the other half have got T.B. Be sure you only fuck the ones that cough.
I know. Was mocking Wiki Answers.
“…..he was on a couple of reality dance shows a few years ago, and now he dances for LMFAO.”
.
Is “LMFAO” an act or a command? Anyway, I think I’ll stick to my cubicle if this other thing above is a career option.
Wow, don’t some of us have egg on our faces now? Turns out I was wrong – Kevin Hu has lost his battle against becoming a gay Asian aerobics instructor.
.
I guess I won’t be jumping to conclusions or homophobic racial stereotypes any time soon.
.
That Redfoo guy is a douchebag too. For the record.
Sorry DB1. I think you screwed-the-pooch on this one.
.
Take away the outfit & fake tat required of his performance, and it’s a clear “Notta”.
.
I don’t think you can fault the “performer” for not having time to change before posing for a snapshot.
Ooops, apparently neither I, nor DB1 can spell! It should be “genuine” and “hoisted.”
I am glad to see that some people agree with me, even if DB1 doesn’t!
