Shit Herr Consoleman Says ... about K-Pop in Japan.

"Yup, music piracy is big problem and this is why K-pop industry is still sending K-pops to Japan, Taiwan and China."

So ... according to Herr Consoleman ... the reason why the K-Pop industry is sending groups to Japan is because of piracy. Seriously? It couldn't be because Japan is the second largest music market in the world? It couldn't be because of the money they can make in Japan?

Mind you it is also kind of funny to see a Korean complain about music piracy.


Latest "What I like about Korea"

GIKorea at ROKDrop is at 21 on his list of "What I like about Korea." The latest one is "Korean Pride".

As soon as I read that I thought yes but. Memories of all the stupid things Koreans have done and said over the years promoting Korea or trying to convince people that Korea is great. GIKorea addressed that and did a good job of it.

Koreans do have a lot to be proud of when talking about their country ... they just have a tendency to go overboard especially at perceived slights.

I may not like all of the same things GIKorea likes or agree with every reason but he is putting out a good list and isn't glossing things over.

The Good Ship Kimchipop

A Flint and Stig production, inspired by 3gyupsal.

I've thrown away my pirate toys
Even my gun and blades.
I wanna make some noise
Making farts all day
The kimchi inspired way.
I'll learn how to make it too
And when I do, how would you
Like to be in my kimchi pirate crew ...

Oh the good ship Kimchipop
It's a spicy trip to the food shop
Where adjummas play
On the sunny beach of Busan bay.

Jimjilbangs are everywhere
The smell of garlic fills the air.
And there you are
Happy landing at a soju bar.

See the cabbage dance with kochujang
near a great big spicy kimchi rice cake.
If you eat too much ooh ooh
Your colon could start to bake.

On the good ship kimchipop
Make a korean pancake then into jail you hop
And dream away
On the good ship kimchipop.

What the ... ego stroking?!?!?

I know Koreans like to prattle on about how great Korean food is. How great Kimchi is. What doesn't kimchi cure or protect you from?

The latest ego stroking is about the Somali pirates that were brought to South Korea to face trial. The Terrible Times actually did a story about what they are eating and how the pirates praise Korean food. They actually printed what the pirates ate for every meal.

We are talking Somali pirates here. If they were given a bowl of fried worms in red pepper paste and asked how the food was they would probably have said "good good". Hey, did I just create the latest Korean dish?

Who really gives a fuck what these wastes of space think about Korean food? Only someone who was so insecure that he had to affirm how great his country is in any way would prattle on about something as stupid as this. Oh wait, I forgot what country I was talking about for a second.

The UFO Times

It has been a while since I killed time by looking at The Terrible Times, aka The Korea Times. Not surprising me in the least considering it IS The Korea Times, the Number Two headline was about ... UFO's.

Some unnamed reporter lifted the story from the Daily Mail of London. It continues the Times obsession with reporting UFO stories as top stories, even when those stories (and all of the ones I have seen are like this) have nothing to do with UFO's in Korea. Or even Asia.

The Korea Times. Worst in the Nation. First in UFO Reporting.

Mad Cow BS was actually informative.

As strange as it feels, I did learn something from the Mad Cow BS that took place in South Korea. And I am not talking about something that takes a dig at Koreans.

A friend's mother has Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease. I actually knew a little about it because of all the info (real and made up) floating around during the BSE BS.

What a nasty fricking disease. :( It can incubate for decades, 60 or 70 years and then just strike. When it hits life expectancy is measured in weeks. Talk about something that makes you feel impotent. All my friend can do is wait and be there for her mom, even though her mom doesn't always know who she is. :(

Shit Herr Consoleman Says ... about media coverage.


Since Korean media and other Asian media don't usually reports negative news about White men, I'm creating the dedicated thread to report their criminal activities.

Feel free to post updates...

The Korean media don't usually report negative news about White men? This from a twat that evidently reads the Korea Times since he has complained about their lack of negative coverage. I wonder what kind of drugs he is taking in Australia?

So, to fight this, and borrowing the idea from YouSeok's blog, he was going to start a thread dedicated to posting crimes committed by "White Men" around the world. Amazingly, he ONLY came up with TWO posts. Damn, I could come up with two posts of any ethnicity committing a crime. He is either lazy or even stupider than I thought he was.
