I almost went on a tirade about this and then I remembered the Janet Jackson “Breast-gate” incident. The US populace FREAKED out about a lousy nipple. I shudder to think what reaction two flailing peni would garner in the States.

Is “peni” the correct plural term?

Nope, it’s “The Couch.”
Welcome to Korea. Anyways, most people just call them Couch and in Korean, it sounds like “Cow-chi.”
This is proof that there is such a thing as bad publicity. Incidentally, the Chosun Ilbo’s reporting has been the most accurate. The Korea Herald is just laughable in contrast.

And just of the sake of accuracy, I believe that the name of the other band is ‘Couch’, not The Couch.

I meant “their story” not “there story.”

That’s the biggest hoot about all of this — if there is no such thing as bad publicity, then aren’t the members (no pun intended) of RUX being a bit gypped by all the media attention the members of The Couch are getting?

I know why there is the confusion in the wayuk press, at least — the video of the event has RUX on it and apparently some journalists are too lazy to check out if the people they are seeing when they write there story are, in fact, RUX.

I know these guys pretty well. The Korea Herald is using this incident to once again show off it’s amazing knack for incompetence: days later, it still refers to Rux as a “funk” band, says the guys who were flashing were in the band (they’re in another band, called The Couch) and claims they were wearing masks (clearly face paint, if you look at the video).

The scandal here is not the dicks on TV. The scandal is the glaringly obvious way the media is misreporting the fact, condemning the musicians, and simultaneously putting giving them more attention than they could ever dream possible.

That’s much MUCH worse than weiners on the tube.

the reponse is certainly to blame.
But they should’ve thought twice before they did perform this kind on a live program.
No problem if they did it at a club, at least for me.
however, doing it on a nation-wide scale may be going too far. - it’s my personal opinion.

What if with this kind of scene broadcasting on NBC or CBS? And if you’re with your kids in the weekend evening?
