Right… The new sport Made In Korea™ “Milk Showers”… If this doesn’t get us some naughty ads from Google, I dunno what to do next!

3 madar June 20, 2008 at 12:34 pm: Is this the new Korean version of bukkake?

It’s also far less painful than chopping off one’s finger or anything involving honeybees and its a fine way to cool off during the humid days of summer.
5 cmm June 20, 2008 at 12:58 pm: Elgin posts this at the same time everyone is asking for no more g@y p0rn ads/pics, great. Truly morally bankrupt.
6 dda June 20, 2008 at 1:06 pm: C’mon, nobody said wanker, yet. Oh, wait…
7 bbundaegi June 20, 2008 at 1:08 pm: Hahahaha! Is this guy (or is it a woman?) protesting the US Beef bruhaha by pouring milk all over him/herself?

If so, the Dokdo “Bee Man” has been dethroned!
8 bumfromkorea June 20, 2008 at 1:46 pm: Lol… this can be like an impromptu Rorschach test of sorts. Elgin saw self-immolation, and madar…. well…

For those that are thinking of trying this at home and are lactose intolerant, Makkoli works as an effective substitute. It is traditional Korean wine made from rice.
10 JohnT June 20, 2008 at 2:03 pm: Milk, it does the body good!

Makkoli is actually more properly a beer than a wine. Mmmm…. makkoli.
12 sesame seed June 20, 2008 at 2:46 pm: When you say “Milkman,” does that really mean “40 porn stars and farm animals”?
13 keith June 20, 2008 at 3:57 pm: Just when isn’t it silly season in this country?

What an idiot, that picture has made my day!
14 Jonathan Quick June 20, 2008 at 5:00 pm: Got milk?

SOMEONE had to say it.
15 keith June 20, 2008 at 6:52 pm: ‘Got milk?

SOMEONE had to say it.’- JQ

Yeah, good one. That picture is my new avatar on a Korean board with that very same phrase as a caption! Is it a case of great minds thing alike, fools seldom differ, or just bloody obvious?

I hope Reuters don’t mind. I think it’s a splendid picture.

17 slim June 20, 2008 at 8:47 pm: We can only hope for that man’s sake that the cows that provided that milk were under 30 months old.
18 arthjm June 20, 2008 at 11:44 pm: At least it’s not dog shit throwing man, though ultimately I would prefer flag eating man over either of them.
19 Canadian Mad Cow June 22, 2008 at 7:12 pm: Just two words: bull semen.
