Ever since the Cubs signed Kosuke Fukudome, White Sox fans have feverishly been brainstorming politically incorrect heckles for the Cubs-Sox series, which starts today. White Sox street marketing guru Mickey O'Sullinski claims they have some real gems this year for the Japanese native.
"Making fun of foreigners is a blast," said O'Sullinksi. "We've even learned some Chinese so Fukudummy can understand us."
Despite failing to recognize that Fukudome is Japanese, Sox fans still seemed determined to come up with politically incorrect slogans for T-shirts as well. Sox fan Shawn Bakowski hopes to cash in on his own inappropriate catchphrase.
"I'm printing 400 T-Shirts that say 'Go back to China, Fukudome!" said Bakowski. "I spent my life savings on them so people better be offended."
O'Sullinski says Sox fans consider the inappropriate heckles a badge of pride.
"Nobody can insult people like White Sox fans," said O'Sullinksi. "Me love you long time Fukudome."
