ROKA Break?

by Robert Koehler on March 28, 2007

Korean netizens and bloggers are having a grand old time comparing wildly popular “Prison Break” with life in the ROK Army [Sports Seoul, Korean]. And on another “Prison Break” note, veteran actress Kim Su-mi apparently digs Michael Scofield [Star News, Korean]… which kind of gives me the creeps.

2 Brendon Carr March 28, 2007 at 5:33 pm: Or at least not shanked. Male-on-male sexual abuse is quite common. Whether or not gang rapes occur, that’s probably a different story.

I’m sure nobody wants to smuggle food and drink destined for the ROK army.

5 Brendon Carr March 30, 2007 at 12:04 pm: Well, as long as it’s not mandatory for all hands, I support male-on-male sex in the military. Let them do whatever it is they do. Just don’t make me join their team!
