Textreme by Wong Fu Productions

Wong Fu Productions delves into the world of texting with the help of some friends in their short “Textreme”. In the short, David Choi plays Ethan, who gets a text from Sue played by Grace Su. With the help of his friends (Victor Kim, Stephanie Reading, D-Trix), Ethan tries to craft the perfect response to Sue, who he’s interested in. But with advice from three people things get a little out of control. How long will it take for him to form that perfect text?

Here’s a few more texting videos: Via Text with Lynn Chen, Texting with Girls by Aziz Ansari, and Thumb Wars PSA with Harry Shum Jr..

Lyrics to Bruce Lee Blues (aka Long Forgotten Question) by Kevin So

How did Bruce Lee die ? No one really knows
How did Bruce Lee die ? No one really knows
It’s a long forgotten question with no answers, people guessing
No evidence or facts
No one really knows

I know how he died. My friend told me so
I know how he died. My friend told me so
He was eating watermelon. Someone came up from behind him
And stabbed him in the back
My friend told me so

I know how he died. An actress poisoned him
I know how he died. An actress poisoned him
He was working on a movie when she slipped it in his coffee
He went to take a nap
And never woke again

This is how he died. This is what I heard
This is how he died. This is what I heard
All that pressure being famous. All that fighting against racists.
He had a heart attack
This is what I heard

Is he still alive somewhere laying low ?
Is he still alive somewhere laying low ?
I hear he’s living near Grand Junction six miles east of Thunder Mountain
In a little wooden shack
Somewhere laying low

How did Bruce Lee die ? No one really knows

Lyrics to Five-Hundred (500) Days by AJ Rafael

started off grand then ended in ruins
thought you were the one you never knew what we were doin’
you didnt know when to stop all of your games
and you left me here, left me without any shame

so the truth came out you couldn’t promise me the love that i was pouring out for you
and when you went away
couldn’t get you out of my mind oh i
was broken down for you

500 days i know it wasn’t the best but i won’t ever forget no i won’t ever forget
500 days i know it wasn’t the best but i won’t ever regret no i won’t ever forget you

i gotta be frank– i can’t imagine me with anyone other than you
had me feelin like my dreams came true

you made me feel good
like no one else existed
like summer was here everyday of the year
now its just my wishful thinkin

so the truth came out you promised someone else the love that i was pouring out for you
when you went away
couldn’t get you out of my mind oh i
was broken down for you

there is a light and it never goes out
and there is a promise and i don’t mean to scream and shout
but there is a fog and it’s blocking that light
gotta let you go, no use in fighting this fight
