| Assuming that Segways were affordabily priced and available in Korea, would you use one? Or would you feel like too much of a douche bag? |

In my opinion, using a Segway in Korea is a horrible idea. They simply don't have the maneuverability that would be required to dodge the scooters and bicyclists (not to mention "can't walk in a straight line" folks) that you would encounter on the sidewalks. Also, nobody should be using a Segway, anyway.  |

Agreed. The only way a Segway would work here is if it came equipped with a loud horn and a cowcatcher. |

Segways have d-bag written all over 'em.
Though I do profess an enjoyment of their use in film to help round out a certain character's d-bagginess. |

Agreed. The only way a Segway would work here is if it came equipped with an ajumma blaster |

I would add blades to the wheels a la Egyptian chariot style. Any Korean that gets too close and they lose an ankle or two. |

| If I ever fell on one I'd look like George W, and that's something I feel pride in not looking like every day. |

I think Dean Kaman invented the Segway specifically for Gob.  |

| There are a few people in Kagnam that have them. More than a few. I've seen at least 10-15 people on them from time to time. |
