When you have the belly of a 9 month pregnant lady, do standup comedy in bars where nobody laughs and mumble your speech onstage, you must be Ron Josol! His signature act tries to blame the white man for all the asian problems that exist. Everyone knows filipinos are corrupt bastards who steal everything that isn't bolted down (see filipino elections). Hopefully in the future he will recognize that being funny is what counts, not hamburger eating contests.
