Okay, I've dropped my South Park reference. Now I am officially bored with this.

Have no other young white girls died in the last ten years that are worthy of media attention?


Or any other young [insert ethnicity here] girls at all?

Asian countries should clean up their recruitment to screen out such dregs. people have a bad enough image of esl teachers as it is.

I'm all for the screening process started in korea. Countries like Thailand need it much much more though. When i was in Cambodia the Phnom Penh times seemed to carry a story about police arresting a foreign paedophile virtually every other day.

I think the loser career progression goes:

Korea -> Bangkok -> Vietnam -> A third world prison cell

Heemstede, Netherlands: I volunteered as an English teacher at an atheneum school, planning and conducting activities revolving around English and the U.S. culture.


A couple European e-friends were reviewing his resume and called BS on a couple points. A teacher in Netherlands noted there were no volunteer English teachers in the system. In fact, there was such a huge shortage of English teachers he'd quickly find himself a real job.

And what is with the definite article on U.S. culture? Subjects are non-countable. You don't teach a math or the math. You teach math.

Who makes that kind of mistake?

You mean to tell me that an accused murderer might have lied on his resume? Sorry, I just don't see that happening.

I can see this thing running on and on worldwide.
I just saw Larry King and the Professor that shopped him is British!
This has the potential to intrigue so many.
Brits
Americans
Thai's
Koreans

I'm leaving Korea soon and maybe just in time, I can see there being a masive backlash from the media, parents and schools here in Korea and an ESL teachers life won't be worth living for a few months.

This seems to be the only John Karr thread not locked. Anyone notice he got biz class for his trip home? Now there's an idea if your hagwon tries to screw you out of a ticket home. Take the fall for some high profile murder and let the DNA evidence clear you on the other end.

FYI I'm calling dibs on the Lindbergh baby.

Didn't read through all the threads, but I read on yahoo this am that he was looking into a sex change operation at a clinic in Thailand.... Oh, yeah~ He sat in business class and wined and dined like the best of them Rolling Eyes - champagne, Evian water, a "gourmet" meal (if you count airline food as gourmet, that is)....
