Here's the recent TV broadcast stereotyping foreigners as womanizing drunks, among other things. It also follows a guy around who was blacklisted on the raci Pro-Korean site cafe.naver.com/englishspectrum.cafe. It's 30 minutes long and mostly korean, but still an interesting watch for anyone living or wanting to come to Korea.

When's the next full moon, reg? I'm anxiously awaiting the next monthly installment of your Kennedy Assassination epic.

I take exception to this gross stereotyping!

Most womanizers stay sober, because it's the women they get drunk! And some drunks never womanize because the booze has made their wieners stop working!

UNFAIR ALL AROUND!!

Where's the incriminating footage exactly?

All I can see is a foreigner dude chatting to passers by about poetry and donuts. the Koreans appear to be more drunk than he is.Apart from that he walks into his hogwon job with his shirt not tucked in. Maybe thats the criminal offence?

"womanizing" whores and prostitutes don't count. But a lot of you nasty guys should really keep your peters to yourself in Korea. You know who you are.

kinda two faced isn't it? Considering Korea has one of the largest prostitution industries in the world. But I've come to expect that here. It's unfortunate and it does nothing but lower peoples opinions of Koreans. They are lucky most of us don't really give a shit, and that even fewer don't speak Korean and have no idea what is being said about them. If people really knew just how Koreans viewed the rest of the world, Korea just might lose some serious 'face'. I wonder if Koreans would be alarmed if you told them that Koreans have a horrible reputation for running prostitution in every country they live in.

Not that people don't come here and act like asses with Korean women. There are plenty of players here. But this was hardly ground breaking journalism, seemed pretty sensational.

what a farce.

Quit your crying. Every single day of the week Korean channels show the exact same kind of programming about Korean men. So now they're showing us too, what a horror!! And have you ever actually been out on a Saturday night? Over half of the white men out there are complete douchebags who deserve to have their faces pasted on the nightly news as the losers they are.
