@Ms. A
I honestly did not think I was characterizing "Asian women as sexual objects".
It's a bad joke, but the joke is really making fun of people who parody those Geico insurance commercials. I think sometimes you have to take things to an extreme to show how silly they are.
As for, "Asian," I could have just written "fancy hooker", but it wouldn't have conveyed the same idea of a rare/beautiful woman. I find all races pretty much equally attractive, but many American men are crazy about Asian woman.
As for "hooker" - I find prostitution to be one of the most respectable professions I can imagine. Only in oppressive regions where it's made illegal does it get a bad image / cause a health risk.

I don't know if you're trying to be ironic but it doesn't matter. I will be honest with you. Steve, if you do not but would like to understand why I find your characterization of Asian women as sexual objects to be offensive, say so and I might get in contact with you. Until then, here you go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotypes_of_East_and_Southeast_Asians#Stereotypes_of_Asian_women
I did honestly enjoy the majority of your other comics though.

@a
Can't say I blame you, Mr. A - when will that fancy Asian hooker stereotype finally go away?
