Guys, check this stuf out! Crazy!


VAX Unjustly Pulled Off the Air - Permanently!

On Saturday, October 9th, VAX aired on Episode 2 a segment about a documentary that focused on the events surrounding the 1999 anti-communist protest in Westminster, CA – that of a local video store owner’s support of Ho Chi Minh and the Communist party of Vietnam. The VAX segment was not meant to elicit support for or against communism, but rather to expose and inform our audience about the "Saigon USA" documentary.

However, shortly after the episode was aired, protestors gathered outside of Saigon TV (VAX’s broadcasting partner) demanding that the VAX TV Show be taken off the air. They argued 1) that the image of Ho Chi Minh and of the Vietnam communist flag was an indirect support of communism, 2) that VAX is not a respected or proper media outlet to discuss such a serious topic, and 3) anything related to the 1999 Little Saigon protest should not have been discussed period because the Vietnamese community wants to forget about it.

While we at VAX understand the strong emotions that were expressed by people who might have felt we were insensitive to the atrocities that occurred in Vietnam, we feel that only by talking about that history can we learn what happened and ensure that atrocities such as these never happen again.

We regret to inform our fans and viewers that, despite our efforts and objections, Saigon TV has elected to pull VAX off the air – permanently.

We thank our supporters who understand that at VAX, our goal is to inform and educate our audience about a multitude of people, places and events in our community. Sometimes, it means addressing sensitive and controversial issues. We know that not everyone will agree with us all of the time but we hope you understand that after thoughtful consideration for all sides, we stand by the integrity of our work and will not back down to any parties trying to restrict our right to freedom of speech, freedom of press and freedom of expression.

VAX plans to hold a public forum and open discussion with the Vietnamese community to address this issue.

If you are interested in attending, helping us out, or finding more information about this forum, please contact us at info@vaxtvshow.com

With your support, we can let the voice of the younger Asian American generation be heard!

was it vietnaems protesters?

This is an outrage... I can't believe this horse$hit. Are we just going to sit back and let the older generation b!tch-slap us like this!? Definitely a step back for all of us as a community. Wonder if they're gonna hold a rally about this...

That was pretty bad, i feel sorry for that one guy........eventhough he supports the communist....

poor guy, they actually hit him......

Maybe he should go back to vietnam.

he shouldn't start it at first.. too dumb..

They want Vietnam to change, to allow open speech for everyone. But here in USA where it does happen and they don't like it they will attack it. No better then the communists themselves.

Damn that sucks @$$. I liked VAX. The host girl was hot too

So much for "freedom of speech" in America. Their control on media is just as bad as the communist.

I support the censorship and the violent actions in Little Saigon and elsewhere!

That way we can see everyone's faces on TV !!! That's fun

Hahah... exactly! Just wait for another 10-20 years or so, these oldies will die off and the new generation will spring up and challange the course of the so called "Viet" unity.

This is so freaking dumb. I just heard of it today and I can't stand these commiefobics we have. They are going to mass-protest anyone for even seem commie, they're the true fu-king commie. As if there annoying protest they hold everyweekend not bad enough, now they censored a harmless young generation effort to revive Viet culture.

Although here in Canada I don't get to see VAX but I heard about it on the net. It's such a shame that we're still fighting amongst each other. Last month some Vietnamese singers from Vietnam came to Toronto, Canada for the first time to perform...singers like Phuong Thanh, Quang Dung, Viet Quang, Hong Ngoc, Ly Hai, actress Minh Thu, and MC Thanh Bach...and yeah, there were protesters outside the building with their anti-communist signs. It's so annoying! The singers are just here for entertainment...no political motives. Some of them are probably too young to really remember the war anywayz! Why can't these old people just let it go for goodness sakes! It's time to look ahead to build a better Vietnam...not relive the war!!

They don't have a job.

Yeah I totally agree. I hate to see our own kind fighting each other. It's mostly the older generation that still wants to keep our people seperated. But it's good that our generation and younger generation would like to see our people united.
These old commies and old anti-commies extremist will die out soon anyways.

yep, i agree too, seemed like them people don't have any better things to do beside protest this and protest that, i mean, for crying out loud, the war is like 30 years old, and it just a freaking past, things already done anyway, we can't change the history beside nagging about it. My father is a victem of the war, them commy put him in re-education camp for a long time, then what? is there anything he can do about it? NO, does he like to talk about it? NO. Then them people need to move freaking on, and let the new generation handle it, dont they know that them commy countries slowly drift away and eventually no longer exist? Look at Russia, one giant @ss commy contry, is it still exist? NO, and so will the others, so to me, just forget about the past, hold on to the future and make it better for the new generation rather all biatch about the past.

BTW, another thing i find this funny is that they protest here in US or might be in other countries, but shiet, they don't dare to go to VN and do that. You guys agree with me on this one?

Hahaha, cause they'll probably get either shot or put in jail. But I agree some are gutless that ran away to save their lives and now all they can do is b!tch.

So...is VAX TV totally gone now? Any news about it lately?

I support paying and publishing the photos or videos of any demonstrations, so every one knows what's up and where.

I support paying and publishing the photos or videos of sex tourists caught buyng poor little girls in Vietnam too.

I can host all photos and videos on all websites, and post them in forum boards on the web.

I support using their techniques of propaganda against them. Unlike any official authority, as an individual, I'm not bound to any diplomacy rules.

So let this be public and known to all.

News is that it's back on air. From what I've heard.

Oh really?! That's great!! I'm from Canada so I don't get to see VAX TV...or...is there any way to see the show over the net?
