William Hung is Dead.

an email i received

Las Vegas, NV - Kitschy American Idol Star William Hung, famous for his botching of Ricky Martin’s “She Bangs,” was found dead yesterday, apparently of an intentional heroin overdose. The announcement of his death sent shockwaves to the tens of people who still found him funny.

Ironically, Mr. Hung was found by a VH1 camera crew sent to begin filing “William Hung: Behind the ‘Music.’” Viacom immediately decided to rename the special: “William Hung: fifteen minutes till death.”

Friends of Mr. Hung say he had become despondent in recent days. “I don’t know, it’s just so sad,” said Ming Tse, one of Hung’s former classmates at Stanford, “I heard him the other day on Snotbubble’s Morning Madhouse; he kept trying to make William say things like ‘me so horny’ and ‘hey sailor’ while playing the sound of a bomb falling. I just know William was hurting inside when Snotbubble got him to say, ‘you wanna some-e egg foo young-e.’ It was so sad. I just think he was tired of the commercialization of it all.”

Other friends, who had lost contact with him in recent weeks, feared he was becoming too “Hollywood.” “I’m not surprised he was on heroin,” said Hung’s engineering cohort Melvin Samples, “I mean just two months ago we were out at our usual corner table at Smitty’s, and William actually went and talked to some girls. The next thing I know he’s doing shots with some hipster guys; they were calling him ‘Long Duck Dong’ and making him say ‘au-to-mo-bile.’ From what I hear, it’s not a long leap from that to heroin addiction.”

Stanford’s hippy population immediately misconstrued the situation and adopted Hung’s death as a pet cause. “He was a victim of the corporate greed-machine, just like Kurt [Cobain] and Eddie [Vedder, who is actually still alive],” said one dreadlocked mourner outside the engineering department at Stanford University, where a makeshift memorial had been set up, “he just wanted to sing, and Fox decided to turn him into this joke, man, this fucking joke. They just ate him up and spit him out. Fucking Bill O’Reily. I think it’s because he was against the war.” The last comment is apparently in reference to the fact that Hung once answered “no, thank you” when asked whether he was “for or against the war in Iraq.”

The Las Vegas police released part of his suicide note. It read, “I have no reason of living . . . my art which is my importance to the best everybody laugh to . . . I make end here . . . goodbye world of cruel.”

Although Hung’s immediate family disowned him seconds after his appearance on American Idol, it is believed he has an aunt in Toledo, Ohio who will take care of funeral arrangements.

BAM!!!

I think it's a fake - I haven't been able to find anything on any of the news sites - you'd think someone would report it

Wrecking the illusion for everyone here!


- Ok, ok... he isn't dead, but i was kind of hoping to get a consortium of people who would be happy to see him dead together, and hopefully we can commision a hit man or some such... or at least a really bad agent...

I'm waiting for his inevitable appearance on VH-1's "I Love the 00's."

Personally, I prefer Hung's "She Bang" to Ricky "could a talentless hack shake his ass like this?" Martin's.

OMG that was some funny shit. The writer has such an insight into the Chinese expatriot culture, its not even funny. actually it's really funny.
I wonder if some FOB's or totally protected Chinese (they're plenty of them) actually think that Hung is good for the Chinese population.
Kinda like people thinking that Queer Eye is a positive portrayal of the homosexual population.

I had this discussion with a friend recently - the whole William Hung deal is blatent yet inadvertant racism. Everyone is laughing at him, and it's not just because he can't sing, it's the Asian karaoke style that is being laughed at here, we know this, yet we all still laugh...

I dont know, If I was Chinese i would still piss myself laughing, but I am laughing AT William, not with him... You bring up an interesting point - I wonder what the Chinese really do think of the whole situation?

I wonder

I could see wishing that people would stop paying him to sing, but to wish him dead?  Why wish anyone was dead.

No, people are laughing at him because of how truly awful his performance is, yet he is still being booked all over the place.  This guy knows what he is doing, he;s actually extremely intelligent.


I, personally, think he is one of the most crude businessmen ever.  Think of this- he knows he has no talent.  He doesn't care.  He's making millions off from making a joke of American Idol.  He probably has made more off it than any of the "winners".

Dude, you're all idiots if you thought William Hung was dead... (*shaking head*) Pushaw! You just wish you could sing like him anyways. "SHE BANGS! SHE BANGS! SHE MOVES! SHE MOVES!"..... "I have had no musical training whatsoever." "That's bloody obvious." Just kidding.

That makes me feel better about it. When I've seen him on television, it always looked as though he actually thought people enjoyed his singing. If he's aware of the joke though, then I have no qualm with laughing at him because I'd do what he does too if it got me money and women.

Sorrie Karma... I will add a few more smileys so you can take it in the context it was meant to be taken in... Of course I dont want him dead, but his song is really, really bad, and it hurts my ears.

I dont think he would have risen to 'fame' if he wasn't asian - thats just my humble opinion, and like most of the time, I could be wrong, but I might not be as well... There were plenty of bad singers of other races as well, and they didn't get anywhere like he has... I guess it's open to intepretation.

BAM!!!
