The new Sky phone commercial where he has all these choices of songs, which happen to be in English, but he walks by all of them until the Korean girl is dancing to a Korean song.
The 001 commercial where the gorilla misses mom. Whose idea was it to put a passport in the gorilla's hand? When I saw the siutcase I understood that he wanted to leave. |

I don't remember what the commercial is for because I've been conditioned to either a) throw myself across the room to change the channel, bruising my body head-to-toe or b) run out of my officetel screaming bloody hell, as my neighbours stick their heads out the door and wonder what kind of drugs I'm on this time. Anyhow, it has some pasty Korean guy at the piano, surrounded by a bunch of Korean women. He starts singing with the most effeminate voice ever and it's enough to make me cringe as these women start fawning over him and his...whatever...
It's enough to make you want to die.

Corporate advertising serves up such great consumer propaganda.
Ever notice how such a large # of K- ( CF ) commercials are sooooooo pseudo-UTOPIAN?
Perpetually projecting a perfect, blissful life, families, GARDEN OF EDEN (clean air) environments, no pain, stress or suffering.
Quite disturbing  |

What? You mean to say that not all Koreans dress in white from head to toe, and lounge around all day long on immaculate bedspreads in perfectly decorated rooms playing with their angelic, beatifically smiling shiny-haired children? |

One recently has a guy going insane with the DAE HAn MIn GUK nonsense.
Who is he preaching to, and what is the commercial about? I have no idea because I am too nauseated to figure it out.
The sickness of self-promotion in a world nearly oblivious to its existence makes it pathetic. |

It's ���ر�. I saw him on a poster for "The King and the Clown," a recently popular Korean movie, and didn't realize it was a guy until my friend pointed it out.
I also hate the cellphone one with ���ٿ�. She's the "Krusty the Klown" actress with moustaches for eyebrows. |

| The one I could never stand was for the ice cream cone ������. It used that irritating "Woohoo woohoohoo" music (it's the same one Vonage uses back in the States) and the commercial is repeated. I haven't seen it for awhile, so maybe it finally bit the big one--good riddance! |

Any commercial that shows an apartment complex with a luxurious and spacious garden area cracks me up. Like, the woman opens her sliding glass doors and there's a GOE right outside her place.
The grounds of Cabrini Green in Chicago are cleaner and greener than most of the apartment complexes in Seoul, including the "Tower Palace" joints in Dogok-dong that every Korean seems to fawn over. |

I must agree. You should add that the Korean guy has the worst case of black-wannabe-itis, yet walks past a bunch of black people rapping to find a Korean girl singing. I don't get it at all. |

Do you know which other one i hate? the "She's a New Yorker".
No. She's a dumb Korean broad who doesnt know how to walk in pumps. Her waygookin business associates are hot sh*t though. |

| Just saw a new commercial last night that made me think of this thread. Ahn Jungwhan and another guy getting their cheeks poked by girls. Awful. |
