Just thought this was funny. A job offered on that other site said "We are looking for brown hair blue eyes." Darn, and my eyes are green.

That's just sad, but it sure does show the Koreans commitment to education.

And how high are the chances that's a hoax ad? 99.8%? 97.3%?

The sooner all you guys realize physical attributes and human appearances are and always have been considered highly important in human history the sooner it will all stop seeming to be "odd." Or you can just go back to the secluded college campus in the land of make believe.

Get over it -- differences will always be considered as a prime determinant of selection. We're just in a phase of a passing fad of "nonjudgementalism."

And clearly you're looking forward to the day when everyone once again judges the intellegence and character of people based on physical attributes and human appearance.

Yes, appearances are important, but Id say that asking for an English teacher based soley on apperances is stupid. If you ran a company and you only had these two choices, would you rather have quailifed people, or dumb good looking people?

if it is a real ad then all i can say is 'welcome to korea'. the country where looks are more important than teaching prowess or experience.

Well, crap. I wonder if they'll let me slide with my blue hair and brown eyes?
