This is ridiculous. According to Wikipedia, 34.4% of the country is A+ blood type, being the most common. There cannot be a shortage!

Girlfriend got the good idea of putting this up on facebook. Guess you could do it on myspace and naver.
Koreans travel a lot so that might exclude a good number of donors, and I’m sure with 50 mil on the ROK that blood is in high demand.
#16 You’re a douche bag. Nice of you to throw UCSD in there, I’m sure my friends will be glad to see you represent. Class act you are.

#16.

What the ****!?

There are plenty of things to be sarcastic or ironic about. A person bleeding to death on a hospital bed isn’t one of those things.

I’m B type, so I couldn’t help even if I wanted too.

Which I don’t.

A-type women are often over-bearing and selfish. They have a tendency to cook food high in cholesterol and hum to themselves when they don’t think anybody is listening.

My ex-wife is A-type.

AB women are much more inclined to enjoy horse riding and sunsets.(My new wife)
They are also the most generous, unfortunately generosity is not a useful trait in this case as the blood itself is what is required.

Anyway, I went to UCSD.

Well, if we’re going to that level, no, as long as the lads use “hyung-nim”, mo-yah? (I once busted up a room of middle-aged Koreans by giving one of the gang-pae penguin, “hyung-nim”, bow/salutes to the one of my wife’s distributors who is older than me. The other, unaffiliated Koreans in the room appeared to be pleased that an apparent Korean knucklehead seemed to be getting respect from one of his Russian or Italian cousins.) The best part was that afterwards we had a lot more elbow room on the beach than otherwise would have been the case.

“Of course, I’m feeling pretty chuffed to be an “elder”; everyone loitering in the Mamrot’s Hole may now start using the appropriate Korean honorifics when addressing me.”

Do you think your wife would object if I called you Oppa? ;

I'm not sure why adult women aren't preferred, but one of my high school students told me her male classmates had given blood one day. The reason it was only males, she said, was because of possible low levels of iron in females due to menstration. I'm not sure if this applied only to teenage girls, or what the age cut-off was for this. This post has more information, taken from the Korea Herald: even a Korean national has to show that they have continuously resided in the country for at least one year before they are allowed to make a donation. No overseas trips allowed. No exceptions, 365 days minimum without a break, he said. If true, this would probably disqalify a lot of people.
