From the SF Weekly...

Friday, March 5, 2004
Even John Goodman's idiotic character in The Big Lebowski knew that "Chinaman' is not the preferred nomenclature." "Oriental" is also very several-centuries-ago. The actors in L.A.-based sketch comedy group OPM (who insist that the name stands for Open People's Minds) seem to be in full control of their stereotype-debunking brand of humor -- their show, I Can't Believe They're Not Oriental!, has been a hit at the S.F. Fringe Festival and at Fringe-like comedy gatherings around the nation. Cast members include a Malcolm in the Middle writer, many veterans of commercials, and a guy named Ewan Chung, who wishes us all to know that he is Chinese, not Scottish. The troupe's original sketches often elicit the phrase "pee-in-the-pants" from happy audiences, so if your trousers have been uncomfortably dry, check out OPM tonight and tomorrow night at 8 and 9:30 at the SomArts Cultural Center, 934 Brannan (at Eighth Street), S.F. Admission is $10-15; call 543-5738 or visit www.asianamericantheater.org.
