Comedian Daniel Tosh kicked off the third season of Tosh.0 by getting to the ring with pound for pound champion Manny Pacquiao. Why? We have no idea. After Tosh sings his life away, the greatest boxer in the world punches him in the face. Manny Pacquiao obviously didn’t go full force otherwise the comedian would have been taken out on a stretcher.

When you think of MTV, the acronym may conjure up images of bronzed guidos from Jersey Shore, tanned Beverly Hills socialites from The Hills, or pregnant teenagers from Teen Mom.
Would you associate Asians?
Perhaps you remember SuChin Pak, the tough-as-nails reporter who would bring viewers MTV News and recent updates on the world outside of music during broadcasts of the beloved Total Request Live daily countdown. Well, aside from her, you wrack your brain and quickly point out the current music take-over by Asian/Asian American sensations like Far East Movement, Bruno Mars, and Charice. And hey—wasn’t there some interview with Jay Chou during promos for The Green Hornet?
Or maybe that was another channel.
Well, Sanyee Yuan, a current junior at Harvard University and San Francisco native—who associates herself with her pan-Asian mix of Taiwanese, Shanghainese, Vietnamese, and Filipino roots—is hoping to become the newest face at mtvU. In a recent college correspondent search for a student to report on the red carpet at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards this June, several students posted up homemade 30-second videos in hopes of getting enough votes to make it to the Top Five. Yuan, the only Asian American face in the crowd, has made it to the Top Five and now just needs your vote to be the one woman standing on the red carpet come June.
You can vote here.
Voting ends this Friday, May 20 at 11:59 EST so show some love and help her out! No online registration is required and you can vote as many times as you’d like.
Vote Sanyee Yuan for mtvU’s 2011 MTV Movie Awards Correspondent

Lyrics to Silent music video by PaperDoll
So close to the window, I almost fall out
You inhale, then turn over
I see it with no sound
Silent, like my footsteps
Silent, like my
Foot foot foot foot steps
You won’t hear nothing from me
You won’t hear nothing from me
You won’t hear nothing from me
You won’t hear nothing from me
So far from my thoughts now, I nearly forget
I inhale, smells familiar
Remember instead
The hiccups I have kept out
They come through, the
Win Win Win Win Dow
You won’t hear nothing from me
You won’t hear nothing from me
You won’t hear nothing from me
You won’t hear nothing from me
Within Every Woman is a documentary film that explores the forgotten history of “The Comfort Woman”, a term used to describe over 200,000 girls who were forced into sexual slavery during World War II in Asia. They began the project in 2008, travelling through rural China, the Philippines, and South Korea to meet and document the survivors of what is known as the largest institutionalized rape system in world history. Today, the survivors are referred to as “the Grandmothers” (aka “Comfort Women”) – all above the age of 80, they are now mothers, grandmothers and wives. But behind their inspiring courage and strength, it is clear they are still haunted with memories of the past. They want to show the complex healing processes that these women who have struggled with their whole lives and ask, ”How does one begin to heal from such brutality?”
Within Every Woman explores the complex layers of healing and the role society plays in perpetuating the shame that silences victims of sexual violence. Told through the lives of 3 survivors, this film will bridge the gap between young and old, connecting survivors from different parts of the world in an effort to raise awareness and show the grace, strength and resilience of these incredible women. (These women are in their 80’s and 90’s. If they wait any longer, it will be too late! Their stories and experiences will be lost forever.)
The film will embark on a journey of hope, reminding survivors everywhere that they are not fighting alone, and that together, they can overcome their past with grace and strength to find kindness in an unkind world. It’s dedicated to honoring the process of healing and challenging the shame that still silences victims today.
The people behind Within Every Woman are looking to raise $50,000. Learn more on how you can support them here.
