I've heard and understood what Jacky Chan sing, it is BAD, it is like Arnie singing latest Justin Timberlake song that kind of bad.

Yeah, it's not good.

The whole damn population of America has already been successfully invaded by Asian culture anyway. Sushi, ramen, Panda Express, and suicide are all fairly common, as are wire-fu, the resurgence of melodrama, Power Rangers, Pokemon, Yu Gi Oh, and Lord of the Rings. Oh yeah, and check the label on your shirt and the brand name on your stereo. The weird part is that Asian stuff is so prevalent yet so transparent it almost seems like, you know, Asia is in some kind of culture debt to us. Nobody thinks tea is Asian anymore, but I'm willing to bet that there are still Japanese babas who consider t-shirts "Western."
