Special Boy With Freakishly Large Brain Wins Spelling Bee
I’m a big fan of The Onion News Network (ONN), the satire video news program version of – you guessed it – The Onion. In one of their latest videos, ONN does a interview with “James Kimura,” the 2009 New Jersey state spelling bee winner. Remember: Asian Americans are not only good in math, but we excel in spelling as well.
What next?

This reminds me of the Spelling Bee musical, with Marcy Park as the first Korean-American character on Broadway. Marcy is also a fantastic speller, similar to “James Kimura” and also speaks six languages.

For a little guy, he’s not a bad actor.
In all seriousness though, I’m glad they took him away, he was about to pull some Tetsuo psychic power shit.
