haole host mocks Hawaii

Host on taste of america travel channel tuesday
mocks Hawaiian culture.


Wanna see some schmuck make an ass of himself on TV?
(not that there is any kind of a scarcity of that now...)

Mark DeCarlo stands next to a ki'i and mocks the open mouth grimace of the carved God.
....also the usual with the hula and etc..

(following suit with the samantha brown smarmy sarcastic comments during many observations when she does a show here.)

no... Wrongo, Travel Channel. Kama'aina don't like seeing our cultural icons riduiculed and made the butt of some wanna be comedian's jokes.
Do you also go to the vatican and stand in a rocket shaped hat gesturing popelike to crowds in a derisive fashion?!

and if not, why not?!

Rachael Ray used to have a show on TTC and on a trip to Oahu she said 90% of the visitors to Hawaii visit Oahu when it's more like 44%.

Sounds like another example of more sacrilegious commercialisation of Hawaiian culture (http://www.hawaiithreads.com/showthread.php?t=4731). Which reminds me of a t-shirt I saw on a young female Japanese tourist a while ago, showing a headshot of the Virgin Mary, and the words: MARY IS MY HOMEGIRL. I wonder how the average Roman Catholic would have reacted to that?

[DaveNSoKona]

Not that is sacred (maybe to sports fans) or on the tube, but have you seen this T-shirt?

and as is my wont, I veer, no... screech off topic and respond:
here's a whole lotta other sacreligious shirts, too;
as funny as they are profane.

Now you are making nostalgic for Father Guido Sarducci.

The only person heating things up is you... the mod seems to be taking the peaceful route. I'm sure you'll show him though.

apathy rules...
but who cares.
