    Finland is about as far from Korea geographically and culturally as you can get.
    I dunno about culturally (them guys in both countries like their beer a lot!), but apparently, OMN fellas had no interest in geography when they were at school (I mean, even OMN people went to school, right?).
    Finland, a mere 5,000 miles away from Korea, about as far from Korea geographically? How ’bout Brazil, or Argentina? Or dear FTA-prone Chile?
    Nitwits…

    I haven’t seen the piece myself yet, as the Ohmy site hasn’t opened from here since yesterday (am I being censored?). “As far as one can get” is more mental than physical geography; actually Korea is just over Siberia from here, and closer to Korea than Western Europe. When Koreans wondered that I’ve come such a long way to Korea, I often responded that there’s only one country to cross to come there.
    And when Russia finally decides to solve its problems by declaring war on Finland and surrendering right away, we’ll become neighbors. (I understand this is a Russian joke.)

    Am I the only one who can’t view Ohmynews anymore? I have tried to access it from work and home following both Charlie and Robert’s links and I can’t see this article on Antti.

    Uhm, dda, give me some credit. It’s called hyperbole.

    Oh, and yes, OMN has had serious DNS errors for about 24 hours now. Up and down. Sorry about that.

    Todd - Thanks for letting me know it wasn’t just me. I was finally able to see it a few minutes ago. Well minus pictures and the links to make a comment… but beggers can’t be choosers.

    Hi Joel and Mr. Marmot,

    The server has been stable for the past hour or so (knock on wood). Please give it another shot. The photos of Antti are cool.
