A Few Thoughts

Filed under: Uncategorized — Jeff in Korea at 3:06 am on Friday, November 28, 2003

From the Chosun Ilbo:  Foreign Workers Struggle to Make Sense of Deportations - Let me see if I can help…  Hey! Illegal Foreign worker. You are here ILLEGALLY!  You are breaking the law! Bye bye! 

From the Chosun Ilbo: Chough Snags the MDP’s Big Seat - Of all the stupid ways to Romanize a Korean name, this has got to take the cake. What is wrong with spelling it "Cho?" The name "Chough" makes me want to pronounce it like "Chuff" or "Cough" or "Choo" (like "through").

From the Korea Times: S. Korea in Golden Start at Short Track World Cup - Without the US team.  If you can’t beat them, threaten to kill them.

From the Korea times: Round Card Boys? - Men holding the round cards between rounds at female boxing matches?  The gender-switch is the brainchild of a public relations company in Seoul.  "It’ll be the first such case in the world,” MEGA public relations director Ryu Young-ju told The Korea Times.  Nice "brain child".  I wonder how long it took, how much of the company’s resources it took to develp the brain child, and how much the firm got paid.  I’m sure someone thought of it before, but abandoned it because it was a stupid idea.

From CNN: In rare step, Justice re-examines controversial 1995 prison death - GOOD!  It’s about damned time!  What a horrible case this is.
