8 Asians


Let me narrate the thoughts of the recipient opening this gift for the first time:


What’s this? It’s just a plastic basketball. Yo this thing sucks! You can’t even bounce it!




Wha… wha? What’s happening to my sucky plastic basketball?


OMG! My sucky plastic basketball has wings!


Oh crap! I think my sucky plastic basketball has turned into a ship with wings and is going to fly away!


Wait! What’s this?! It’s not a ship! It’s got legs! Legs! Long legs!


And a head!


OMG! It’s my hero! Yao Ming!


It’s a Yao Ming superhero transformer! Woot!

WHAT A GREAT GIFT!!! THE PERSON WHO GAVE THIS TO ME IS AWESOME!!!

  • Toy CEO: Mister Yao, we here at Global Plastics Unlimited have a delightful idea. We will make a toy that is a giant basketball, and it will transform into a robot. But in lieu of a robot head, we will sculpt your face and use that as your face instead.
    Yao Ming: Huh.
    Toy CEO: We will give you 100,000 dollars.
    Yao Ming: Huh.
    Toy CEO: We will give you 500,000 dollars if you agree that we make this toy completely out of lead.
    Yao Ming: Deal.

    I'm interested to hear how they got Yao Ming on board with this idea. Thanks, Ernie, for your theory. The toy is absurd.

    And in a flip of things, Yao doesn't look Chinese because some hypersensitive politically conscious toy designer didn't make his eyes chinky enough. From the photo joz posted, Yao looks southern european.
  • Akrypti -- actually, in that last photograph, Yao kinda looks like OJ Simpson.
