Oh, and Zeno- 99%? 99?? Maybe it’s time to kick out the stool.

In many ways the song actually reflects the more general moral panic about the internet in Korea today, though I don’t think I’ll bother just now to explain unless someone is interested in hearing about just how much internet freedom was jettisoned here in the last couple of years.

Those Chinese kids can write a cute tune about anything.

But I think Igzabier is smoking too much Happy Hemp, or whatever passes for Grade A BC Bud in his part of the world, judging from his incomprehensible comments.

I for one, welcome our new Korean Netiquette Overlords! Don’t Spit!

NOT ALL ASIAN ARE CHINESE DUDE needs to be a t-shirt slogan. Now.

The entire human race is scum no matter where you go. The default state it to usurp and be lazy. You think Americans are unique? Take a look around. You will find it anywhere you go.

Your naivete is amusing. I leave you with these words of wisdom from this poet laurete of my generation…

So you been to school
For a year or two
And you know you’ve seen it all
In daddy’s car
Thinkin’ you’ll go far
Back east your type don’t crawl

Play ethnicky jazz
To parade your snazz
On your five grand stereo
Braggin’ that you know
How the n*****s feel cold
And the slums got so much soul

It’s time to taste what you most fear
Right Guard will not help you here
Brace yourself, my dear:

It’s a holiday in Cambodia
It’s tough, kid, but it’s life
It’s a holiday in Cambodia
Don’t forget to pack a wife

“I know who did it (be careful) ”

know who did what?
Is it a warning not to be overly accusatory, even when you are certain about what you are saying? or what does it mean?

Additionally, the Mad Cow demos of last year, in Seoul, were largely spurred on by political elements that used anonymous postings in online forums to promote wide-spread social discontent which caused many problems for the government and many citizens. That was, IMHO, a grand example of how a flash mob can degenerate into a hi-tech lynch mob, complete with “citizen reporters” in the street, online innuendo and outright lies (rumors) being passed around as facts.

The Korean Government is undoubtedly attempting to promote civic responsibility in their society but the idea of a “internet guardian angel” is a bit disturbing in its implications of having overseer of sorts and also sad, considering the really wonderful children songs, written by mature composers, that have come out of Korea, which most Westerners do not get to hear.

This song is abysmal and more like what I would expect from the PRC.

It’s going to be a depressing day when these kids eventually discover YouTube’s abysmal “user community” of regulars.

Kid: “Hello precious Internet friend.”
YouTubeScum46: “a/s/l??? LOL, KTHX BA1 f#$%er!!1″
Kid: O__o

I will say this: 99% of everything is sh*t. Art, literature, music and humans. Regardless of creed, culture or sex.

But that doesn’t stop me from reading. It doesn’t stop me from listening to music. And I still keep trying with the humans no matter how much they puzzle me. As I often find some good stuff worth keeping around… and I don’t care what section of the bookstore I got it from.

You do realize that I can tell what continent you’re posting from? So I assume that you’re including yourself in the ‘spoiled’ category.

‘spolied north americans’? And what arrogant culture would you be from? Did you not learn anything from that video…sheesh.
