| I cancelled my TV completely a few weeks ago, and I've been much less annoyed day-to-day in general. (I used to watch CNN and OnStyle) Dave's is the first I've heard of Shouting Korea, and it sounds like a typical Korean media invention: mainly stupid but strangely endearing. |

Looks like a bad CGI gorilla to me. But the Africa ad is just in time for the Nigeria game  |

Well yes, the shouting ads have been following the theme of whichever country SK is playing. It started out with old classical Greek statues in a museum before the Greece game, then it was the Argentine football players, now it is the animals out in Africa.
Can't stand those bloody adverts. I was really rooting for Korea too until I saw too much TV. |

If the shoe were on the other foot, say, the Argentine team really booed or hissed at the Koreans while they were making a penalty shot - well we know how that would be portrayed in the Korean media...
"Shouting Korea" is an encouragement to be obnoxious. |

You're in their country, deal with it or go home. |

| I actually like the slogan "Shouting Korea." It just basically says, "support our team." However, I hate the commercials. I think it's tacky to portray the actual opponents (figuratively and literally, via wildlife and uniforms, etc.). If they just showed generic opponents and didn't have the themed locations, I would be all for the ads. Does showing the opposing teams in (similar to?) their real uniforms seem tacky to anybody else? |

I can't wait for the next Uruguay-themed "Shouting Korea" ads!
If Uruguay ran similar "Ullulating Uruguay" ads, I wonder how Korea would be depicted? Shiny-suited ajosshis covering their ears? Kimchi pots exploding? |

| Anyone else seen the last Shouting Korea ad with a surprising number of foreigners in it. It had a weepy tone to it. |

| True story: A few weeks ago I ended up at Homeplus and saw the red T-shirts for sale with the inscription: 'Snouts of the reds!'. I couldn't figure out what it meant until I figured it actually said "shouts' not 'snouts'. Did anyone else mistaken the word the first time they saw it? It really is a wonky 'h' if you ask me. |
