Korean Job Discussion Forums

There's a commercial on CNN at the moment (advertising one of their reports - 'Notes on North Korea' namely with that dreadful British hag Christiane Amanpour) and I literally can't believe how condescending, uncivil and indecent this journalist, whom I detest to begin with, is towards the North Koreans in this commercial.

Amanpour to elderly North Korean women: "I'll teach you a new word, okay? [The new word is] FRIEND!!"

What in the Jesus??

That's bad enough, but the way in which she asks other women, her absolutely offensive display of superiority and self-importance, "do you really consider America your sworn enemy?" is bitingly antagonistic and provides immediate and powerful vindication for Shariah Law.

I haven't seen the report in full yet and will do so this afternoon, but Jesus, get off your high horse, Amanpour, you bloody twit!

CNN are invaluable to the expat in Korea, since there's no BBC, but they screw up badly elsewhere also. See Wolf Blitzer and - haha - The Situation Room. What kind of retarded name is that for a show?

And then there's The Campaign Trail ("a seriously entertaining look at the American election" - yeah, sure ) with Jonathan Mann saying "join us next time for The Campaign Trail - we'll do lunch!". Huh? Do lunch? What the heck are these people on? And where can I buy some? See also "we never go anywhere without packing heat". Oh yeah? In English please?

You need to download TVU on your computer and watch FOXnews?

Thought the same thing when I saw that blip on CNN. I get BBC here in Korea by the way via C&M cable.

I was watching some reporting on the cyclone in Burma on CNN the other night. The news presenter was basically leading the guy that was reporting on the scene on what to say. Essentially that everything was the fault of the military. Every time I make the mistake of watching CNN, I am reminded what a propaganda channel it is.

Another know-it-all wanker with a BA who teaches English, but fancies himself some kind of philosopher. Seen lots of these idiots come and go. So you'll go back home and what, flip hamburgers?!?

[jetrash]

Mainly black people and asians work in Macdonalds in the uk.
you never see a white person working there,sometimes a white student maybe.

This is a wierd thing kyopos like to say,this burger flipper thing....i went to a Macdonalds today in seoul..it was full of korean workers(every single one)..IN KOREA!!


does this mean anything?

does that mean koreans working for american Macdonalds ARE BEING EXPLOITED?
whats your position on this JIM-WE?
is it white exploitation,american imperialism..or a mix of both?
are you angry about it..or do you not eat american beef anyway?
if i eat in macdonalds in korea,im eating korean beef(i assume )but the profits go to america.im certainly served by korean staff on low wages.
should i eat it?
why do i only see ASIANS working in Macdonalds both here in asia and in england(along with blacks ) ?

I miss Richard Quest.
Too bad he got busted in New York with meth and a leash tied around his balls.

Where is he now?

Never mind, I just typed his name into wikipedia. What a dumbass.

That's why I watch The Colbert Report. It's intentionally funny.
