Excited
This looks straight out of a plot from a mediocre CBS drama, but nope, it’s absolutely true: earlier this week, male Asian porn star Herbert Wong (Porn name: Tom Dong) was killed in a “samurai-style sword attack” by a fellow porn-star Steven Hill (Porn name: Steven Driver) at a fetish porn studio in Southern California, as reported by the LA Weekly. The killer — who is still at-large — was known to be friends with the victim, where they appeared on this DVD cover box together. (No, we’re not going to link to the uncensored image; you guys read blogs, therefore you know how to use Google.) As for a motive:
Hill had been sleeping on a couch at the porn warehouse, and had been updating the adult based website as well as acting in a few movies. Police said Hill was asked to move out a few weeks earlier.
“[Hill] wasn’t performing up to standards and a few weeks ago he was told he would have to leave,” said LAPD detective Joel Price. “They weren’t happy with his product and he had been given a date of [June 2] to leave… He knew today was the day he had to be gone.”
On one hand: this is sad. Someone lost their life over this. Two other people are in the hospital. And straight Asian male porn stars are like endangered Yangtze River dolphins: we don’t really know how many of them there are, but we only know of three or four, one of them is now dead and we’ve already blogged the last known occurrence.
On the flip side: Really, LAPD detective Joel Price? “Happy with his product?” Liiiike… his webmaster skills? His acting abilities? His penis? Did you, like, start high-fiving the rest of your buddies in the office after releasing out the statement? Because this Asian-American blogger is trying to take his job of reblogging shit seriously, and all I can really think of is, “He couldn’t perform up to standards folks; the key word here is UP! HEY-YO!”

I really like, clean and natural
I would just like to say RIP to Tom Dong ( Herbert Wong) The man died trying to defuse an awful situation and all most people are doing are laughing and making jokes at the situation. I only talked with him briefly but he seemed like a nice quiet guy.
RIP.

Or shall we say, 'in-bed-ed' sociological theory?
I read the last line as "collapse under all that meatness".
I think my brain just imploded from all that embedded sociological theory in that comment.
And, wow: Porn actor sought in slaying dies in hillside fall.
You know, someone is going to make a movie out of this entire story. And then someone will make a porn version of that, which will be a porn version of a dramatization of a porn movie. And then the universe will collapse under all that metaness.
I'd prefer to refer to it as an 'SUV' (Seminal Utility Vesicle)
He's Asian. I thought a "mini" was implied. (Ok, I'm going back to study for finals.)
Just be glad I didn't go with the "Mini".
You said "Hummer."
Heh.
All I gotta say is... if it is indeed a samurai sword style attack:
Yeah, but it could just as well be a throwing star, or nunchaku or if you watch a lot of anime... one of those ten ton hammers! I mean come on.... samurai sword?
That's like saying, if an American is involved in a car crash, he/she musta been driving a Ford/GMC or Chevy. Cuz come on! There's an American involved!
hmm.. although I suppose it could have just as well been a Hummer or Saturn.. :p
"how you get from a machete to samurai sword?"
Um, how you get a samurai sword?
THERE IS AN ASIAN GUY INVOLVED, so therefore it MUST be a samurai sword attack. (rolls eyes)
What I wanna know is how the hell did they know that it was a samurai-sword style type of attack, and not like ninja? or kungfu? I mean, seriously... And with a machete? I mean, uhh.... how you get from a machete to samurai sword is beyond me.
Save the endangered Yangtze River dolphins! Save the straight Asian male porn stars!
