OT: Vietnamese SpaceGirl

[uconndoit]

I need your help...

My good friend wants to win a contest to go into space (sponsored by Axe). If she gets into the top 20 she gets to compete for the spot to become only the second Vietnamese person in space.

She's very determined and a running nut - she recently took it upon herself to organize a running trip of 300k to her home town in the name of equal rights for minorities.

It would be amazing if she got the spot.

Just follow this link and enter your email address and click the button - it's in Vietnamese but it's extremely simple to figure out where to enter the info and which button to click.

I think I did it! I hope I just did not sign up to get a date with a 15 year old from Saigon.

Awesome! I can't promise you won't get some 2 for 1 deals for Axe body spray localized for the Vietnamese - with shrimp scent to drive women crazy.

If she runs 300K, she deserves to go to the moon.

I think I did it. By the way how can I send my wife into space?

She says she's capable, qualified and healthy. The vote button is binh chon.

Did I miss something?

When did we start shooting Vietnamese people into space? Have they signed on for this or are we just pitching 'em up there for giggles?

I think it's a misdirected version of the Marshall plan.

When the dogs refused to go. After the Space Shuttle Columbia 2003 crash, PETA said space rockets are no place for animals. Now we send Asians. Kim Jong Eun is next .

Thanks for your votes! She's at #21 now - she needs 7 more votes to get into the top 20!

Of course, once she gets into the top 20 she will still need more votes to stay ahead of the others as they continue to get more votes.

As a bonus, here's a primer on US-Vietnam relations:

This post has made me go get Vietnamese for my last two meals. Thanks for the reminder to eat the most underrated Asian cuisine there is.

WHERE is this place?

Thanks everyone for your booster rockets!

Update: She hit #17 a couple weeks ago and now she's losing altitude and has fallen back to #20. She could use more fuel to keep her in orbit. (See what I'm doing here?)
