Plane ticket to America, because pressing pants or slinging cabbage in LA is better than degrading yourself for your “seniors” and drinking yourself to death at some rinky-dink, ass-backwards Korean company: $900

Full supply of anti-American reading material to tide you over while you wait for your American citizenship: $120

Fancying oneself as a “Proud Korean” while sucking the tit of George W. Bush: priceless

This is far more of an indictment of modern society than of the people you’re trying to impugn, Netizen Kimjives.

After all, universitas, from which the English word “university” is derived, refers to the wide-ranging nature of the classical curriculum: education in its truest sense, as was formerly practiced at the great universities (and still is at some, such as Oxford, Cambridge, Navarre, etc.) as opposed to the glorified, overpriced trade schools most “universities” have become. This type of education taught its students to speak well, to write well, to reason well, and to evaluate arguments—the skills which are so sorely lacking in modern discourse.

I suggest taking a look at John Henry Newman’s The Idea of a University for more on what higher education ought to be, and how far off the mark it currently is.

And $200,000? What university is that?!

Plane ticket, because teaching English in Korea is better than becoming permanent fixture in Mother’s basement: $900

Bong plus a bit of ganja: $120

Fancying oneself as “wicked satirist”: priceless

But they sure love the slap stick style of comedy show.

It is wicked satire and I wonder how many Koreans would understand such and why it is satire.
