Will the real Psy please stand up?

All Asians look the same... fake Korean pop star edition! Will the real Psy please stand up? This week at Cannes Film Festival, the guy behind the global megahit "Gangnam Style," became the toast of the town, partying down, collecting free swag and chumming it up with fellow celebs. Except this wasn't Psy. It was a Psy impostor, who apparently had the festival fooled: Cannes falls for the fake Psy.

Psy to star in Super Bowl commercial

I suppose PSY's insane pop culture takeover would not be complete without an appearance during the Super Bowl. The South Korean rapper behind the global pop mega hit "Gangnam Stye" has reportedly filmed his first U.S. television commercial with Wonderful Pistachios as part of the brand's "Get Crackin'" campaign, which you'll see aired next month during the big game: 'Gangnam' star Psy to star in Super Bowl ad.

From the press release:

"Gangnam Style" kills

Are people are aware of the potential dangers of "Gangnam Style"? In England, a man reportedly collapsed and died after dancing to the chart-topping hit at an office Christmas party: Man dies after office party dance.

46-year-old Eamonn Kilbride apparently danced a little too vigorously trying to mimic the "horse dance" stylings of Korean artist PSY. But the moves proved too much for Kilbride, who complained of chest pains when he came off the dance floor:

"gangnam style" is the most viewed video of all time

Forget Red Dawn. The real invasion has already begun, and it started with a crazy little something called "Gangnam Style." Sometime over the weekend, the runaway international pop hit became the most watched YouTube video of all time: Psy's "Gangnam Style" video becomes YouTube's most viewed.

It's official. With over a staggering 800 million views, South Korean rap star Psy's staggeringly successful k-pop track surpassed Justin Bieber's 2010 music video for "Baby" to take the top spot. Incredible, considering the video was only uploaded to YouTube back in July. And in case you're the last person who hasn't seen it:

Psy performs "Gangnam Style" at American Music Awards, racist tweets predictably follow

Yes, Korean rapper Psy performed at the American Music Awards, sharing the stage with none other than MC Hammer and bringing down the house with their live mashup rendition of "Gangnam Style" and "2 Legit 2 Quit."

But of course. At this point, I'm not longer surprised by the galactic success of Psy's runaway hit, and I'm just going with it. You could tell me that NASA is launching Psy into outer space to perform "Gangnam Style" on Mars, and I'd just be like, "Cool." That's not what this post is about.

Here's what also doesn't surprise me: fools on Twitter broadcasting their willful ignorance with racist tweets about Psy's performance. This helpful Tumblr has amassed a pretty sweet selection of such tweets:
