Would someone please repost the pork chop and potatoes menu spoof? That was hilarious.

It would seem that he's just a jackass, but after having read this for the first time

Oh I remembered another one. I searched for it but couldn't find it. Maybe someone deleted it as the thread might have eventually reached the inevitable point where a user claims all Korean men have small winkies and envy our large trouser snakes and a mod then killed the post...

Anyway, a user can't figure out how the hell to get to the Costco in Yangpyung. He found a map on the Costco site but the map provided little help other than to visually confirm that, yes, a Costco did exist someplace south of the Han river. The map seemed to try including major landmarks in Itaewon, like the UN village, although the Costco was located near Mokdong. For driving directions it pretty much indicated that you might need to pass through or by Yeouido island and then some place past the National Assembly a U-turn might be involved. The rest was up to the dead reckoning skills of whatever Lewis and Clark type was trying to find this Costco.

The user posted a picture of this useless map.

Jongnoguru responded with this Korean apologist-esque explanation that went something like "What you have to understand in Korea maps are more than just simple graphics offering exacting directions, from a cultural point of view, Koreans tend to view... maps... welll... NO NO THERE CAN BE NO EXCUSES! THIS IS A HORRIBLE USELESS MAP!"

Or something like that. Quite funny.
