Whatever misguided creativity moved UCLA student Alexandra Wallace to post a video of herself ranting about Asian students in the library and utter her now-famous “ching chong, ling long, ting tong” line a week and a half ago fell far short of what she termed “an attempt to produce a humorous YouTube video.”

Wallace, who claimed afterward to receive death threats, has since announced that she’ll no longer attend UCLA. But during her brief infamy, she spawned a creative legacy of videos made in response to her rant, and these have continued to appear. Some have been funnier than others, some angrier than others, and not all have been high art.

But some, like these three music videos, have been nothing short of genius.

This week, Angry Asian Man posted the video and lyrics for a hilarious rap from the San Diego hip hop band afterschoolspecial, filmed, naturally, in a library. The video:

Last week, the talented Jimmy Wong sang his way to Internet stardom after turning his reaction into a folksy comic love song:

And then there’s the dance remix video, which is hard to describe in words:

Wallace’s rant also inspired a series of comic parodies, among them this early gem.

The humor has been one way of coping with something very un-funny. The video posted by Wallace angered so many people that UCLA Chancellor Gene Block’s Facebook page was flooded with comments for days. The university did not pursue disciplinary action against Wallace, who according to The Daily Bruin chose to withdraw on her own for “personal safety reasons.”

UCLA’s Daily Bruin reports that the student who posted a video of herself ranting against “hordes” of Asian students on YouTube last Friday has sought the assistance of campus police after claiming to receive threats, and that she’s issued an apology.

Alexandra Wallace’s statement was sent yesterday to the campus newspaper, which posted this:

“Clearly the original video posted by me was inappropriate,” she said in the statement. “I cannot explain what possessed me to approach the subject as I did, and if I could undo it, I would. I’d like to offer my apology to the entire UCLA campus. For those who cannot find it within them to accept my apology, I understand.”

The Bruin story described Wallace as a third-year political science student. The video, in which Wallace complains about Asian students in the library annoying her, complains about their relatives coming over, makes “ching chong” sounds while pretending to talk into a cell phone and ridicules them for checking on their families “for the tsunami thing” was condemned as “repugnant” by campus administration.

It set off an angry reaction on and off campus, with hundreds posting messages on the Facebook account of UCLA Chancellor Gene Block, including demands for her expulsion.

The video has also spawned a series of creative and very funny parody videos, even if Wallace’s rant is nothing to laugh at. Today’s pick:

The LA Weekly has posted a list of other angry/funny parody videos.

“In fact, I am so upset that I believe she should be punished by expulsion, public humiliation, and maybe even solitary confinement at a high security prison.”

The Facebook account of UCLA Chancellor Gene Block was flooded with comments today over a viral video that the university has condemned as “repugnant” – and which, frankly, I was reluctant to post at first.

UCLA has confirmed that the woman is Alexandra Wallace, a student at the university, the Daily Bruin reported today. Her rant, which seems almost too bizarre to take seriously, has been spoofed to hilarious effect by now, though the overwhelming reaction has been anger.
