Bribery

This is a good one...gotta love bribery, which is rampant in South Korea BTW, but this is a nice big one...apparently they had a 1 Trillion Won (thats around 1.1 billion us dollars folks) hidden slush fund to pay off prosecutors and manipulate evidence and testimony in trials regarding Samsung...as Borat would say "Is nice!"

New fucking bills finally!

So the Koreans have finally decided to make a denomination of money higher than 10,000 ($10) fucking Won. About damn time...When your rent is $4000 and you have to convert that into 10,000 won bills to pay your Korean landlord who wont take dollars you might as well bring a burlap sack and a donkey to haul it on.

Feminists gaining ground in Korea

Apparently progressive women in Korea say her image does not fit todays society because it suggest women should be family oriented. Pretty soon they will be out there pulling pigs apart in protest of the new bills.

If you want to know how many calories are in a Japanese Flag ask a Korean!


korean eating a flag in protest

This has to be one of the best sites that I have found in a while. It is all about Korean protesters. It includes such things as flag eating, taking your pants off, dog heads, pulling pigs apart, and my personal favorite throwing shit all in the name of protesting. Check it out here.I don't think i saw mention of this guy that decided the best way to protest was kill himself. That award goes to Mr Lee Kyung Hae who stabbed himself during a protest against the WTO in 2003.

To follow up Daves post below...I like the title of this op-ed about the Tech shootings...titled "Our Guilt Weapon Has Boomeranged On Us"

Heres the article

Basically they feel bad for being prejudiced bastards against others, and now that most americans totally overlooked the fact that he was Korean and just a crazy murderer, they feel like douchebags.

Korean Newspaper Story on Virginia Massacre

Korean Killer
Korean Killer

Korean Hurt in Virginia College Massacre

A shooting rampage killed at least 32 students and injured 21 at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia in the U.S. on Monday. According to head of the university’s Korean student association Lee Seung-woo, a Korean student in the civil engineering doctorate program, Park Chang-min, was hit in the hand and side by bullets but was not critically injured.

AP reported the massacre began at 7:15 a.m. when a gunman opened fired in the university’s West Ambler Johnston Hall dormitory and later in a classroom. Lee said the association has been trying to identify the number of Korean casualties but found Park was the only one. There are some 463 Korean students - 163 in the master and doctorate program and 300 in the undergraduate school - at the college. Their number is even greater if the Korean-American students are taken into account, Lee added.

Commenting on reports that the killer was Asian, Lee said it was unlikely to have been Korean since few Korean students have weapons due to the difficulty of obtaining a gun license.
After the atrocity, the school canceled all classes and ordered students to stay in their dorms. The first shooting occurred at the university in last August when an escaped prisoner sneaked into the school and fired a gun killing a police officer during a manhunt. CNN said the worst college-shooting massacre took place at Texas University in 1966, killing some 16 people. _

Koreans have a lot of national pride and like holding records well
now they can be proud to have the most kills on a college campus
in the US. Take a look at the article above the only thing they
talked about when it first happened was one Korean student injured
and how it is unlikely it could have been a Korean doing the shooting --- Nice isn’t it!

I am half Korean and eat Kimchee when my "yobo" is out working. I know it does not smell that good to the average person. But this song made me laugh so loud, my son thought I was crazy....funny stuff....

Wow, this is pretty ignorant. It truly diplays why people in other countries can't stand Americans and their intolerance. I also don't see why it's funny. Nothing funny about a white guy going to marry a Korean woman and not wanting to learn any part of her culture. Only wanting her to assimilate to American culture....soooo typcical.

Sorry but this is a rasist song. It is a shame and a hit into every koreans face. And it is a good example how most americans behave like monkeys when they are guests in a foreign culture. Does anyone wonder about why americans "are so welcome" in the rest of the world ?

Berg:

Boo-fuckin-hoo to the last two comments. Do you know how racist (learn how to spell that word btw Chris) the Koreans are? and not only to americans, they hate everyone. I speak Korean and lived over there for several years, and have traveled back and forth many more times. Do you know how much shit they talk behind your back when they think you dont understand them? Or how they try to fuck you in every way possible in any sort of business dealing? Do you have any clue how much the younger generations (who dont remember us saving their asses in the Korean War) hate us? I'm going to venture a guess of no to all of the above.

Now to top all this off i fucking love kimchee and just about all korean food. But i hate it when they walk by my table when i'm cooking my food and snatch the tongs and scissors out of my hands like i dont know how to cook my fucking bulgogi because i'm white. And korean prostitutes arent bad either, but you know what, most will only fuck Koreans, how racist is THAT shit huh? Or how about the signs on some bars saying 'no Americans'? Get over yourselves, douchebags.

And to close, its all in good humor and sarcasm, but obviously that escapes you guys...i have Korean friends i've played it for and they think its hilarious.
