Filipino Comedian Returns on YouTube
Years after his death, a legend finally gets the global recognition he deserves. Weng Weng, a 2′9″ Filipino midget martial artist who played “Secret Agent 00″ in ’80’s spy movie spoofs For Your Height Only and The Impossible Kid, comes back to life on YouTube. It’s a classic example of the read/write nature of the Web: at the same time YouTube is huge in the Philippines, Filipinos are huge on YouTube.
Eat your heart out, Verne Troyer.
