Okay, so I was in Korea from 2006-2009 and I remember reading a hilarious article online...but I can't remember where and any of the details to make it searchable. It was making fun of the white guy who hosts the English speaking kid's game show on tv...ringing a bell anybody? It spoke of him as if he were a captured animal...well if anyone remembers any details I'd be happy to hear them!

Extremely insensitive. Must be hard to live knowing a guy you spend your free time writing about and making fun of is making 10x more money than you. What I do is a lot harder than it looks.

Speaking of which, another blast from the past I thought was brilliant was the fake resume for "Justin Teacher.". If anyone can find it, i'd owe you one. I googled it, but I get nada.

And a Korean kid lip-syncing to Bohemian Rhapsody while holding up a sign asking "Justin teacher" to come back to Korea :
