Brokeback Alpha Dog - Loves Ice Skating?


Brokeback Alpha Dog:

I was first
informed in November of 2004 about Justin Timberlake’s new movie “Alpha Dog” (opens on Feb. 24, 2006).

Timberlake plays a character named “
Frankie Ballenbacher” and the movie is based on the real life of Jesse James Hollywood, a drug dealer who became one of the youngest men ever to be on the FBI's most wanted list.

Why would a hardcore criminal get a tattoo that says
“ice skating” on his arm?

Perhaps he is a “
brokeback” alpha dog.


Update: Reader Theresa says:

Here's a link to
Tinsley Transfers, a company that apparently provides most of Hollywood with its temporary tattoos. It should interest you to see that characters are not only listed as Chinese/Japanese "symbols", but that they are listed under the TRIBAL section of the webpage. Funny, I don't see one that says "Hakka."


Open Letter to Cosmopolitan Magazine that I Second


Open Letter to Cosmopolitan Magazine:

Feb 2006 Cosmo Asian Character Tattoo


Dear Cosmopolitan,

We need to talk.

Over the years, I really appreciated how
your magazine and team of experts have taught millions of women how to properly perform fellatio and enjoy the soothing sensation of anal intercourse.

I am surprised to find in your
latest issue, you claimed that if a man has an “Asian character tattoo”:

This stud craves mystery in his life, so expect surprises, whether it's a last-minute getaway or an out-of-the-box erotic move. “Since few will know the translation of his chosen character, he relishes the opportunity to explain the hidden meaning behind it," says Green. "He uses the symbol to give people insight into his personality and what he's all about."


Are you f*cking kidding me?


Obviously you have been cooped up inside your office for too long, over-dosing on the complementary chocolates from Godiva, but please do take a look of
my site and perhaps read through some of the “Asian character tattoo” owners’ stories…

By the way, there are over
a dozen countries in the Asia continent. Most of them have their own writing scripts. What you would call “Asian characters” is actually “Chinese characters”.

Perhaps you could add this tip into your next issue, so we men would not stereotype majority of your female readers as sex objects but human beings with some intelligence.


ps. Will "
donut hole" be featured in your next issue?

Sincerely,


Tian
