Naked News No More

by Robert Koehler on July 30, 2009

In case you haven’t read it already, Naked News Korea has completely suspended filming just a month after it was started.

And the anchors aren’t happy.

They didn’t take away the racing girl pool tournament, did they?

They got shut down? Never saw that coming.

Finally, I might be able to watch Naked News again without being automatically directed to the Korean site. ;)

Yup, it now works. Go to nakednews.com and you’ll be redirected to nakednews.eu instead of nakednews.co.kr.

But, it’s also a pay site. :(

“대표이사인 존 차우씨는 해외로 이미 출국했다는 소리를 들었다. 아무도 전화를 안 받는다”고 답답해했다.

John Chau? Some perverted half Korean half Chinese American?

#5 These auto directs certainly piss me off.

I gave up on yahoo.mail, because although it had the sense to ask me [albeit after already redirecting to yahoo.co.kr, despite typing yahoo.com] if i wanted to return to yahoo.com [never wanted to leave it in the first place!!] then select e-mail and the e-mail switches to korean and won’t switch back.

Google aslo, autodirect – why to google.co.kr – if I wanted it I would ask for it.
At least google.mail I put in my preferences, so it stays in the language of my choice.

Auto-directs are my ‘pet hate’. In a pinch I can set up a virtual private network in the US so I am not redirected to a local site I do not want to see (or worse, forbidden to use the site at all, like Hulu).

“Google aslo, autodirect – why to google.co.kr – if I wanted it I would ask for it.”

I know, but it’s been fixed in the last few days. Now, it automatically goes to the Google.com page. It has a “Go to Google Korea” link under where you enter your search.

So it wasn’t a problem with what they were doing, but that management took the money and ran? Shocking, I tell you!

Someguy, #10

Thnkas, but just tried, it still goes to google.co.kr even though I type google.com in the bar.

13 Arghaeri August 1, 2009 at 5:24 pm

Even more annoying on the google.bar, because I was curious to check out your comment on auto-direct to naked news europe, but searching not only comes up google.co.kr but then hits the automatic korean “19″ google nanny which blocks that really offensive word “naked”
