While it is common to read of “death-fan” experiences each hot season in Korea, it seems that someone has had the inspiration to use such deadly force against one of mankind’s worst enemies (not Kim Jong Il either). Enter the mosquito death-fan, a device that must be decidely more deadly to Korean mosquitos and much safer to operate than the pesticide-foggers used by the older “adjoshis” in Seoul (not to mention my neighborhood who are still fogging in October).
I only hope the manufacturers of this clever death-fan modification use a logo that is not easily copied by parties that might be interested in “knocking off” such a useful device (see the Starbucks logo article below).

Yo thanks for the shopping tip.
There’s a great photo on the linked page of a fan outdoors with a bag full of the little bastards. Finally, mankind’s epic struggle with mosquitos might tip in our favour!
I prefer Marmot’s homebrew, almost-makkoli, traps that he wrote about during the monsoon season.
somebody has probably had this idea before, but why doesn’t someone market something to guard against fan death? maybe some laundry balls or something useless like that that you can pick up for cheap and sell for a very nice profit.
of course you could offer a guarantee of a few million dollars if someone is proved in court to have died from fan death……
there has to a market for something as usefull as that particuarly given the deadly consequences of not having it.
I’d stay away from making a million-dollar guarantee. You just never know….
That was my homebrew, thank you. At least no one tried to pick them up and drink them (things are not that bad yet). I really liked the picture from the site of a death-fan that was left hanging over a bunch of dog’s heads. That might really inspire some knock-off action, indeed.
