Fat Asian Baby

The other day my alarmist roommate, who "[doesn't] have time for pop culture," rediscovered The Smoking Gun. She, like me, was baffled by The Lindsay Lohan Phenomenon. However, unlike the Fat Asian Baby, who is fascinated by our national fascination with someone who isn't really all that hot, the alarmist roommate was baffled because she quite simply has no idea who Lindsay Lohan is and therefore couldn't begin to understand LL's explosive proliferation on the internets. Well folks, let me tell you, trying to explain who Lindsay Lohan is to someone who has never seen Mean Girls and is unaware of the existence of either Hillary Duff or Aaron Carter is like trying to explain the meaning of a word to a speaker of a foreign tongue without using the available arsenal of common definitional terms. In fact, it is an experience quite like that frustrating table game, Taboo.

Speaking of which, is anybody else wondering what exactly is going on with Her Duffness these days? She's looking a bit chunkeriffic in this picture from Pink is the New Blog.
