Actually, if you take a walk through any good sized record store in Seoul, and you'll see that they love death metal here. It's easier to find, and cheaper, in Korea than it is in Canada.
Agreed that it was nice of them to send the package back, though. Canada Customs usually just seizes it. |

i concur with oneiros - i've seen more death metal in korean record stores than in vancouver record stores.
my original post was for two things -
1. that it was funny that a magazine with an interview with the band TERROR made it into the country in february but not last month
2. had anyone had a similar experience, with other 'subversive' materials?
but trust me, your dislike for 'crazy music' has been noted, and rest assured it has caused a ripple in space-time sufficient to swallow the whole korean peninsula.
and "die nazi die"? what's negative and subversive about a magazine with that title? i've never heard a better idea. |

Dude, c'mon. As messed up as it may seem, these days you can hardly find a more LOADED word. Exploited mostly for political gain, hysterically labelling anything we don't agree with "terror", it's effectively taken the place of "politically correct" as the most hackneyed term of our day.
Try, mind you, explaining this to Korea's crusading "Big Brother" forces.

it's the "satanic" of the 2000's!!!
remember when anyone with a skewed agenda and a tiny brain was blaming anything and everything on the devil?
sounds way too much like the mid-80s to be real life.
to me, anyway. |

| I have ordered books from amazon.com many times while in Korea and although they have never sent any of the books back to Amazon I have noticed that Korean Immigration has opened my packages about 40 to 50 percent of the time. |
