BEST REASON TO WATCH AKAKU PUBLIC ACCESS TV
The Hemowai Brothers
Public Access television was made for shows like this. Filmed on Molokai, the show is basically two local guys who drive around and tell Haole where to get off, often in the crudest possible way. Periodically through the episodes, the guys will show various sayings like “Aloha Means Goodbye” and “No Move to Hawaii!” over beautiful shots of the sunset. But these guys are sharp. They spend as much time making a case for just land reparations as they do cursing Haole and flipping off the camera. “We’re trying to be the best haole we can be,” one brother observes of the Hawaiian people. “That trips me out. We gotta change that.” Of course, sometimes they get off topic—you’re not going to find this exchange on your network or cable channels:
Brother who looks like Fred Durst: “The Lakers represent America. Only in America can you have [an alleged] rapist as your leading scorer.”
Brother who doesn’t: “You were just telling me earlier that Kobe [Bryant] was set up!”
But the best thing is that you can watch these two knuckleheads just about anytime you want. Just go to www.akaku.org, search through programming for any of the three Hemowai episodes, then schedule it to air on Channel 54 at the most convenient time for you. [AP]
