Who loves Korea? Here is one group.


Some company made some supposedly 'cool' sun caps, but no one would buy them, as they were wayyyyyyyyyyy too tacky and flat out ugly, in some cases.

That company tried to unload them on any unsuspecting victim. Korea's 'marts' bought them up at a record low price, and the hat company thought they folled them. Little did they know.........

They love Korea because they can make fucking ugly hats and people will buy them!!! You can have your cake and eat it too sometimes!!!!!!

What about the oil companies? I heard (not confirmed) that Korea is the 2nd largest importer of oil in the world, and the 7th largest consumer (not even per capita).

Oil companies are making a killing in Korea. 1400 per liter, and the taxes aren't really that high (comparable to taxes in Canada). I just don't buy the arguement that prices are high because Korea imports all of its oil.

Uhh, okay. A country with virtually no oil in its ground imports a lot of oil. Where exactly are you going with this?

The Saudis (who import most of Korea's oil, I believe) loves that such a small country imports way more than the average bear.

Yeah, but is Korea always in the ranger's hair?
