And even more popular than Playboy Cindy Margolis - Backdorm Boys #7 on VH1's Internet Stars list
I am still convinced that the Youtube Chinese Backstreet Dorm Boy's popularity is due to that Chinese people are usually not portrayed as active comedians, and this video showed that like Jewish and Black comedians - there are Chinese people from China who can have a complex understanding of pop culture and can poke fun of themselves. Usually the Chinese are portrayed as objects of comedic mockery, but in this case they clearly actively mocking --on many levels. Tricia
