Inside CNET Labs 50: It 'doesn't' matter if you're black or white
Yep, I had this poster on my wall as a kid, so eff the haters.
(Credit: Sony Music Entertainment)First up, Dong and I share of memories of the King of Pop. If you've had enough MJ for the last few weeks, then I suggest skipping 20 minutes into the episode as we don't really hold back on our unabashed adulation of the man.
Afterward, it gets all racial up in this piece as we discuss Dong's current obsession with black jokes and why everyone hates them. Also, since he's been in Vietnam for three weeks, he catches us up a bit on the goings on there.
BTW, yes I did say "teef," not teeth.

Eric Franklin refused to write a bio, saying, "Why are you bothering me about this bio business again? If I wanted people to know more about me, I'd send them to the Inside CNET Labs Podcast" (shameless plug). E-mail Eric.
Eric Franklin's colleagues once had the following to say to him: "Eric, you've been doing this performance testing thing for over 10 years now. How about you try something different?" To which Eric responded, "How about you shut the #%$@! up?" This candid attitude
allows him to go toe-to-toe with the most extreme of personalities, including that of Dong Ngo. This bio was written by Eric Franklin.
Dong Ngo is a knowledgeable, opinionated individual who wants to convince the world that he's just a normal person; but he hasn't had much success. According to him, this is because the world itself is abnormal. Dong loves traveling and is well-versed in several languages. He, unfortunately, is not so well-versed in English. Still, it's best to ask him questions. From networking and how to optimize your system, to turning a strange place into home or what the meaning of life is…most of the time, he has the answers. The question is: Will he make himself understood? Subscribe and find out!
it would be the same as yours.
If only I could share but one gift upon the world.
This one single gift would be the same as yours.
I wish the gift of life.
All right.
If only none would die.
I wish no one to experience poverty in life.
Would that really be a beautiful world?
There would still be crime. Right?
There would still be discrimination. Right?
Alternatively, do we have these problems, due the fact we all desire life?
If I could change my wish,
the change would be the same as yours.
If only I could bring peace into the world.
There would be unity between all men, women, boys and girls.
I a child
grew up and embraced The King of Pop, named Mike.
Michael Jackson with my child is flying high.
The people we love and lost are with our God on High.
Now close your eyes in silent prayer.

If only tears could heal the world.
Just think "what a beautiful world."
If only love could keep everyone alive.
Just think, "What a beautiful world."
People can say a black man cannot be the father of a blond haired child.
I say,
a father gains his badge by caring for that child's life.
Shh,
ignorant person,
did you not know that God is listening to you?
Shh,
jealous person,
the one you speak harshly about,
may be the person standing guard at God's Doors.
Do not worry;
I am sure Michael Jackson is blowing a kiss from Heaven right about now.
