After they finish filming their reality show, of course

Intent on saturating the entertainment market with his face and voice and name, Akon’s coming out with a new reality show called “My Brother’s Keeper,” which will follow the adventures of his two look-alike brothers

Akon’s two brothers, who according to him, “look exactly like me,” go around town posing as Akon and reaping the benefits that come with being a high-profile performer…

“They are going around getting VIP treatment, girls, free food at restaurants, free everything and everybody is falling for it,” Akon said. “It’s a real life thing, which has got really out of hand in Atlanta, so I decided to take the situation and make it into my advantage by making a reality TV show out of it.”

This actually sounds more like something an episode of a reality show would revolve around, not an entire series. But in an industry that produces shows like The Littlest Groom and “Celebrity Cooking Showdown,” it will fit right in.

Wait, maybe it was one of Akon’s brothers who made that huge mistake in Trinidad. Should one of them be apologizing?

Is this family on a single-handed mission to confirm every Western African male stereotype? Crazily disrespectful, sexually lascivious, irresponsible, prone to engage in acts of fraud, obsessed with money and late for everything? Damn.

Those brothers need their own life and they all need a clue.
Allow me to have a Lisa Lampenelli (ie. politically incorrect/marginally racist) moment DEPORT THEM!

Harsh but fair.

I weep for my Senegalese brethren.

DAMN…yall are harsh. Deportation? They are just ignorant…and I see ignorance everyday that makes me shake my head. But it doesn’t make me want to deport the perpetrators, just get away from them. And how many people do you really think will be watching this show? lol
