Mariners unveil broken Ichiro statue outside of T-Mobile Park

Awkward. On Friday, the Seattle Mariners unveiled a statue outside T-Mobile Park to honor Hall of Famer Ichiro Suzuki. Unfortunately, the bronze sculpture, which features Suzuki in a signature pose, was damaged upon being revealed to the public. When the tarp was pulled from the statue -- with some difficulty -- the figure's bat was bent backward at the handle. Womp womp.

How Sheng Wang finds 'Purple' comedy in a stuck drawer and a toothbrush choice

For comedian Sheng Wang purple is more than a color, it’s a way of being. From his style... to the way he floats through the world writing jokes based on the small, fleeting moments of life, Weng's aura is maintaining a sense of tranquility and creating impact with his art by not trying so damn hard. It's no shock that his second Netflix special Purple is the most revealing of who he is at a time when folks are finally paying attention.

And Other Items of Note From Angry Asian America.

KPop Demon Hunters Concert Tour Could Be Coming To An Arena Near You

I think we all saw this one coming. Netflix is reportedly in talks to produce a global concert series based on the hit animated film Kpop Demon Hunters. Will we get to see the Huntr/x gals perform their Oscar-winning anthem "Golden"? Maybe Saja Boys singing some "Soda Pop"? Will we actually get to see the likes of Ejae, Rei Ami, and Audrey Nuna on stage? Or something more virtual (there is mention of holograms)? Nothing's solid yet, but according to Bloomberg, Netflix is currently negotiating with concert promoters to stage an arena concert tour in venues that hold 10,000 to 20,0000 fans.

Cornucopias Are Actually Horrible Containers

Listen to a track from comedian Sheng Wang's debut full-length standup album.



I'm a huge fan of comedian Sheng Wang, who performs smart, observational, self-deprecating comedy, coupled with a dry, laidback delivery and a hint of a Taiwanese-Texas drawl. Coming up from the Bay Area comedy scene, he's appeared on his own half-hour Comedy Central special, Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and John Oliver's New York Stand-Up Show.

So check it. Sheng, who was a top ten finalist on NBC's Last Comic Standing and recently joined the writing staff of Fresh Off The Boat, is dropping is debut full-length standup album Cornucopias Are Actually Horrible Containers. I mean, they really do. I've heard the album, and it's pee-in-your-pants funny.

Here's a preview of one of my favorite bits from Cornucopias:
