Kenneth Eng Around The Web
Update as of 10 a.m. 3/2/07: new link found in our quest to collect all the entertaining Kenneth Eng links on the Internet after the jump! This one quotes Maya Angelou!
Also: why did the Chronicle's editorial page call him "Richard" Eng in the hard copy of the paper (corrected online)? At least Bad Reporter got Eng's name right.
---
Okay, okay, we know we just put up a post about the Asianweek situation, but the more we google this Kenneth Eng guy, the more we want to know!!!!!
Okay, so we know he hates African-Americans (.pdf) and that he's obsessed with dragons. But there's more!
In light of our reader's tip from yesterday that Kenneth Eng refers to stuffed animals as "plushies," SFist MattyMatt and your correspondent have been avidly scouring through Google to find out if Kenneth Eng takes his plushie love all the way. SFist MattyMatt scored big when he found this PR news release (a must read for many reasons), where Eng is described as "an ardent furry fanatic [who] specializes in creating anthropomorphic literature and art." NO!!! Readers, can you help us on this quest to find Eng plushie proof? Get Googling, googlers! SFist MattyMatt suggests starting your search at deviantart.com or furaffinity.net.
Another reader sent along a link to Eng's Amazon blog, entitled "Kenneth Eng, God." If you want to see Eng's thoughts on organized religion, that's the place to go. Also, here's an article where he outlines yet another fight he got into about race at NYU (and where he says Hitler was "not a coward"). Warning: this is possibly the worst background pattern to pick for your website, ever.
And -- like a certain former press secretary we know -- Eng seems to have originally made his fame when he got busted (see Patrick M's post) spamming various sci-fi boards under fake names promoting that lame-looking dragon book he wrote. He also paid for a promotional ad for the book on Animal Planet. Some of these customer reviews of his book on Amazon look a little funny too, if you ask us. John Nelson, your thoughts?
After the jump -- MattyMatt's Google results! Send us yours and we'll include them too.
--Kenneth Eng's Geocities page, featuring his "Yellow Skull Society." Check out the futile attempts to reason with Eng on the Asians Inc. forums too (registration required).
--MattyMatt came so close to finding the furry stuff, but it's all offline now. So close!
--Here's a handy-dandy plot breakdown of Dragons: Lexicon Triumverate.
--More Ragone-style busting of Eng's sock puppetry (warning -- website is extremely difficult to read). Also, there's some excellent mockery of the quality of the prose in Dragons Lexicon Triumverate.
--A hilarious story about Eng's run-in with a comic book publisher. Annalee Newitz covers this for Wired too.
--Here's Kenneth Eng's thoughts on "why comics are superior to novels." Here's our favorite part:
Maya Angelou's writing is nothing more than a rant on race and politics. These topics are of no significance compared to the topics of reality, spacetime and causation discussed in The Matrix movies and comics by the great Larry and Andy Wachowski.

There's a not so interesting interview with Eng, including his photo here:

3. FORE PLAY: KENNETH ENG - NOVELIST AND CREATOR OF ANTHROPOMORPHIC LITERATURE AND ART
An intimate, provocative look at people who are making a difference in publishing.
:-)
This kid is a Columbine just waiting to happen. I can see the headlines, followed by..
"The warning signs were obvious but....."
I'm just sayin'.
Three words: Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
I would just like to thank Kenneth Eng for having acquired an American Protestant(Prostestant comes from the word "protest") attitude towards life as shown in his bravery to speak out and questioning the authorities that be. Because after all, he wouldn't have that attitude if he stuck to a more traditional Asian view of life which is to stay subserviant to authority and not questioning it because in Asian tradition, "Father knows best". Martin Luther would be proud of this guy.
Oh now, now he fancies himself a screenwriter! He posted his film idea on amazon. Unfortunately, he neglected to set the stage explaining this scene takes place after vehemently pushing atheism and bigotry.
NYU Tisch School of the Arts -- The Movie!
8:18 PM PST, March 6, 2007
Before this blog goes down, I figure I may as well put it to use.
Presenting -- NYU Tisch School of the Arts, The Movie!
FADE IN:
INT. NYU CLASSROOM
A comfortable room. White and black students chat with each other.
The PROFESSOR, a white "man" enters.
PROFESSOR: Let's pitch screenplays.
Enter a male Asian student. Everyone shudders at the sight of him.
PROFESSOR: Who will go first?
A white boy walks to the front of the room with a script written on a napkin.
WHITE BOY: I would like to write a movie about a guy who is coming of age. Responses?
WHITE BOY 2: Brilliant!
WHITE BOY 3: So original!
WHITE GIRL: Friends and sex and parties and makeup!
Asian guy raises his hand.
ASIAN MAN: Well, to be honest, I think that's rather cliched. It has no creativity and I do not see any studio executive buying it. Just being truthful.
White boy cries.
WHITE BOY: Waaaaaa!!! He called me unoriginal! Waaaaaa!!!
PROFESSOR: How dare you insult him, Asian!
ASIAN MAN: Actually, I was not insulting him. I am merely offering my point of view.
WHITE BOY 2: Chinaman!
BLACK BOY: Chink!
WHITE GIRL: Friends and sex and parties and makeup!
PROFESSOR: Who is next to pitch a script?
Italian boy takes the stage.
ITALIAN BOY: My story is about my dead sister and how she died of cancer and her death was very sad. Poohoo.
ASIAN MAN: No offense, but I just do not find that interesting. There are too many screenplays about people's family members and I find no reason to care if I do not know the person.
ITALIAN BOY: How-a could-a you-a say-a that-a?! I-a going-a to-a kill-a you-a!
PROFESSOR: This is unacceptable!
ASIAN MAN: I am allowed freedom of speech.
PROFESSOR: You are allowed freedom of speech so long as you do not mention anything about religion, politics, race, sex, venus flytraps, Garfield, scotch tape, knitting and the air-speed velocities of unladen swallows!
WHITE BOY: Yeah, this is a democracy, you stupid gook!
WHITE BOY 2: Don't be racist, you goddamn Chinaman!
WHITE BOY 3: What do you think, my african american friend who I love with all my base?
BLACK BOY: Slang, drugs, rap.
PROFESSOR: That does it, Kenneth. I am removing you from the class.
ASIAN MAN: Well all right, I mean, this class really isn't that big of a deal anyway.
Italian boy pulls out a pizza slicer and attacks.
ITALIAN BOY: Kill you! I kill you for my dead sister!
Asian Man slaps him away, sending him flying. The guinea crashes through a wall, leaving a human-shaped hole.
PROFESSOR: Out! Out!
Asian Man shrugs and walks out.
WHITE BOYS: Horray! Now we can finally live in peace with the dragon slain. We can go home to our crappy studio apartments, watch TV, make dumb jokes and do no work whatsoever. After all, conformity is all that matters!
PROFESSOR: That's the spirit! You'll be sure to get an NYU degree like that!
WHITE GIRL: Friends and sex and parties and makeup!
FADE OUT

Why I Hate Blacks' Author Defends Column
Tuesday, March 06, 2007
This is a partial transcript of "The Big Story With John Gibson," March 5, 2007, that has been edited for clarity.
JOHN GIBSON, HOST: Now for a "Big Story" exclusive: the author of the column "Why I Hate Blacks."
Last week we told you about the overtly racist column which was published in San Francisco's AsianWeek. At that point the editor of the paper had apologized for publishing the column and since then he has also fired the writer, Kenneth Eng.
What made Eng write that column in the first place? Why does he say that he hates blacks and whites and even his fellow Asians? With me now is self-proclaimed Asian supremacist Kenneth Eng.
So, Mr. Eng, have you changed your mind?
KENNETH ENG, AUTHOR OF "WHY I HATE BLACKS": Well no, and personally if I'm racist then so is Sofia Coppola. And more importantly I'd like to talk about the philosophy of " Dragons: Lexicon Triumvirate," which tells a story about cyborg dragons fighting in the Middle Ages. And in this realm, evolution has worked in a more logical way, even though it's in a fantasy setting which makes it logical that dragons are more superior than humans, in that they have intelligence and are larger and they can...
GIBSON: You're talking about some of your science fiction writing. You're a science fiction writer, correct?
ENG: Yes, but it relates to this as well.
GIBSON: But in your column you say, "I hate black people." In an earlier column you said you hate white people. You also said in an earlier column, evidently, I hate Asians. Now why is it you have, I mean, do you really believe that? You hate all those different people?
ENG: Well, I generally hate black and white people, but the Asian article was sarcastic. It's kind of like the sarcasm I had in my novel, in which dragons slay tons and tons of humans. But this relates to — in the sense that dragons logically follow evolution so they would be able to wield metal.
GIBSON: Right, but you don't have any regrets about saying something as overtly racist as you hate somebody because they're black or because they're white?
ENG: Evidently Sofia Coppola and Quentin Tarantino have nothing against that and neither does Shaquille O'Neal and Chris Tucker. So I have no regrets at all.
GIBSON: Why do you hate blacks?
ENG: Well, you know, just to be blunt, 90 percent of them usually walk up to me and call me, you know, like for instance, ching-chong and stuff like that. I mean, I don't really give a damn, but you know, I mean, after a while it gets pretty damn annoying. And not to mention they get so much media attention. But you know, I mean aside from that, you probably want to know why I call myself the god of the universe as well.
GIBSON: No, I wasn't going to ask you about that. Why do you hate white people?
ENG: Well, you know, I mean, part of that is the fact that so many of them are Christians and religion is obviously [no audio] like a pathetic religion, just like any other religion. And the reason why I call myself god of the universe is because it's a play on religion. It's a parody.
(CROSSTALK)
GIBSON: You seem very angry. What are you angry about? Why are you angry at so many different kinds of people?
ENG: First of all, I would just like to say that solipsism proves that my philosophy is that since I am the only consciousness I'm aware of, any solipsism must be real. Therefore, since perception creates reality, in both the quantum and relativistic realms, I must be god. So the only reason why — so if there is such a thing as god, then he's me. Either worship me or, you know, forsake religion.
GIBSON: Why are you so angry?
ENG: What's that?
GIBSON: Why are you so angry?
ENG: Me, well I mean after living an entire life of being discriminated against and just seeing, you know, just seeing white and black people get away with it so overtly, especially if you read my articles about my experiences at NYU. I mean, you know, it's kind of hard not to get angry.
GIBSON: Kenneth Eng, the fired columnist from AsianWeek. Kenneth, thank you.
Someone call me?
www.forewordmagazine.com/ftw/ftwarchives.aspx?id=20050601.htm
Describe one recurring dream you have?
Escaping this prison of a planet and physically entering the 0th Dimension as an anthropomorphic shark.
What would you save from your home if it were burning?
My animal plushies, which are very important to the family. Especially Smoochy, our semi-dog semi-bunny doll, and Froggy, the big green frog. Definitely, I would save Dennagon, my dragon plushie.
The boy has a weakness and it is furry.
Fox News wasted perfectly good airtime on this asshat.

I wonder if they'll find that the shooter is Kenneth Eng or a fan.
People have reported this video, but YouTube didn't see fit to remove it.
Well, if you still don't know where this jerk's head is at....
www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDsFAqAcH7o&watch_response
See what he thinks about the VA Tech shooting.
And see his previous video about killing people.
He never should have been hired in the first place. And the excuse that his article was published to show a different point of view is pretty weak.
The only people who should listen to him are those wearing white coats and the only place for him is in a padded cell.
What did he say about the VA Tech shooting? The Video has been taken down.
//gawker.com/news/mein-kampf/kenneth-eng-full-of-murderous-rage-savvy-marketing-strategies-257856.php
Well, he was laughing at the VT Shooting and very much wishes to take credit for the tragedy.
Besides thinking the VA Tech shooting was hilarious, he's tried to take credit for it and has already begun soliciting editors to write a book in Cho's defense,,,,he got arrested!

Queens, NY - Wanna-Be NYU Killer Arrested
Queens, NY - The hatemonger that boasted that he wanted to terrorize New York University just like Virginia Tech, as was reported here, was arrested so he would be behind bars during NYU's graduation today.
Kenneth Eng, 23, was arrested near his home in Fresh Meadows and is being charged with menacing. He has threatened to kill a neighbor and had gone onto her property with a hammer, NYPD Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne said.
"I was planing on going to NYU and going on a rampage. The only thing that stopped me was that I couldn't afford a gun," Eng said. [NY Post]
--------------------------------------
They probably let him out though.....I'm still checking.
That story was posted May 10th.
