The Yahoo Korea Home Page is...
a good reflection of the mindset of Korea and that mind set is lacking in sensitivity
0%
 0%  [ 0 ]
not at all reflective of the Korean mindset but rather pandering towards the carnal and shallow sensitivities just like the US yahoo page

a good reflection of Korean Mind set and it is generally a kind and thoughtful one

old naturalistic culture type picture and later some objectifying beach / shorts picture so not perfectly appropriate for all viewers....

it is the second one ...the lady from behind playing the piano maybe?


http://kr.yahoo.com/?p=us

but click on the header thing and you can get it...

ok in hindsight it is not very work safe so I detached the link....

I have to check my yahoo email...and So for some reason - perhaps because I am in Korea- my yahoo page always resets to the Korean Yahoo one... therefore instead of getting insipid links to some dope head pop starlet or actress who is in court again I keep getting links offered to very strange and questionable blogs as well as normal Korean related world event issues. I clicked on this one link assuming it was a racist web page and was going to analyze it and perhaps contemplate how- though many Koreans are becoming more culturally sensitive- after all they employ me the most sensitive and divine avatars of Western Adonis fleshed- yet they still have some disheartening issues they continue to hold on to - and this could be said to be somewhat approved of by the Korean Yahoo medialink guys - since this link was provided on the main Korean Yahoo page... but I am not entirely sure waht the text of the article is arguing- it seems to be accusing the past colonial powers of racism and exploitation of the native African peoples - which of course happened yet at the same time it is showing some modern photos which objective women... but I am not sure if it is showing this to complain about others or doing this in an explotive manner? The writer seems weirdly with the female body shape of non-Korean women. But, I am not sure of his exact tone or aim in writing...

Anyone who can read Korean please explain the premises the guy is trying to make...

Anyhow... every once in a while I will see some weird/strange picture on the header part and click on it... it seems like it is always some strange photo of a European running about naked or some such... if you went by this Yahoo page alone you might grow up in Korea thinking most all French ladies rode bicycles naked to protest cars and then painted themselves with spotted animal patterns and protested outside city halls nude to save poor starving radioactive deforested abused foxes...
