It's a little bit more sinister than the hororscopes. If you clicked on the two posted links you would see the author's attempts to get readers to visit local fortune tellers. For those with active brain cells there's no problem, but, there are some out there in ESL Land who are young, dumb, naive, and depressed enough to try anything and this is not the way they should turn. If they're lucky they'll only end up with an empty wallet.
It's something akin to a newspaper printing a column by a cult, like Mannam, encouraging readers to attend the free acting classes or gym classes. Didn't you ever wonder how anyone could fall for that trap? It all starts with "sweet, harmless lies", and, those people are so nice and understanding, and the next thing you know you're tossing flowers to the crowd on the lead float in the "Mannam May Day" parade at World Cup Stadium. See the point? |

Meh, I see it as more of a fluff piece. Contrary to popular opinion, most Koreans don't instantly believe everything they read or are incapable of forming their own opinions. Those that believe in psychics and fortune tellers will read the article and have their opinions validated, those that don't won't even bother to read much of it. Those on the fence might try it out the way millions of people around the world randomly try a fortune teller or psychic. |

Patrick can't take a break because he's a moderator here. |

Even if he is a mod, Koharski has always been a fair and balanced mod so it's not like Paddy is out there operating without any decent restraint, totally beyond the pale of any acceptable human conduct. |

Wait a minute. Patrick's a moderator? I'd heard he that he was before, and there was a thread where he openly said that he had been. But I've never heard it mentioned that he still is. Do you have any basis for this claim? Has he (or another mod) acknowledged or refuted this? Interesting development. Hmmm. |
