Igawa Auditions for Rush Hour 3 in SI Interview
This is the funniest thing I have read in a long time. Although he speaks in mono-syllabic words that a five year old can understand, Kei Igawa still manages to give a more intriguing interview than Derek Jeter since 1996.

My favorite part is that there is absolutely no credit given to a translator. The Yankees were actually dumb enough to let a man who hardly speaks english field his own interview. Apparently $26 million isn't enough to hire someone for that. Reports out of Jackie Chan's camp have publicly ripped Igawa since this interview, citing an infringement on his "ignorant, foreigner charm".
