Statue of Taekwon V to Tower Over Comparable Japanese Statues

by WangKon936 on September 9, 2009

It appears Korea wants to be number one in statues dedicated to fictional robots.  Yesterday’s The Escapist blog reported on plans for Incheon’s “Robot Land” theme park.  A life sized statue of Korea’s copy of response to Mazinger Z, known as Taekwon V, will dominate the park.

Per Escapist:

The statue will be of Taekwon V, known stateside as Voltar the Invincible, and will stand some 364 feet tall, making it not only much bigger than the 59 and 60 foot statues in Japan [of Gundam in Odaiba and Tetsujin], but roughly three times as tall as the Statue of Liberty itself. Giant robots are more important than freedom and liberty. I think that’s the message that’s being sent here.

Honestly, I thought the blog posting was a joke, but it appears the plans are real.

It would have been much easier and cheaper to “out-monster” the Japanese than “out-robot” them; making a 용가리 statue larger than the Godzilla statue near Hibiya Park in Tokyo would be child’s play. Godzilla is only 2 feet tall.

Mazinger Z hates copyright violation, calls Taekwon V a fake.

4 Wedge September 9, 2009 at 12:17 pm

Uh oh, I can see this resulting in robot wars spanning the Sea of Japan, “where nothing can possiblye go wrong… possiBLY go wrong… that’s the first thing that’s ever gone wrong.”

5 Granfalloon September 9, 2009 at 12:18 pm

Awesome. This story has giant robots, Korean insecurity, metaphorical over-compensation, technological hubris, a theme park, copyright infringement, and hatred of Japan.

In short, it’s a schadenfroh orgy, plus giant robots. What’s not to love? I can only hope Japan takes the bait and announces that they will build a 400 foot robot, emblazoned with an Imperial-Era Rising Sun on its chest, standing on Dokdo.

6 WangKon936 September 9, 2009 at 12:25 pm

For good measure, they have made Taekwon V about twice as tall as Mazinger Z:

8 NetizenKim September 9, 2009 at 12:38 pm

The ancient Greeks had a similar idea. They called it the Colossus of Rhodes.

9 WangKon936 September 9, 2009 at 12:42 pm

I’ve heard about that… you get a trade bonus in Total War: Rome if you capture it… ;)

10 Koreansentry September 9, 2009 at 1:26 pm

Guys, this was planned even before the Japanese Gundam statue. Don’t get too excited, it’s Robotland not scientific research institute. Have guys ever seen fake Disneyland in Beijing?

Also, TaekwonV creator already admitted about his inspiration from MazingerZ, and TKV was created during height of Anti-Japanese media import policy forcing Korean animators/movie makers to copy Japanese media rather than legally importing it. Out of all other copied robot characters, only TaekwonV survived today and I still have toy that brought from Korea when I was young boy.

11 red sparrow September 9, 2009 at 2:17 pm

But was it planned before the Gundam statue… was planned? Hmm?

12 SomeguyinKorea September 9, 2009 at 3:00 pm

“A life sized statue of Korea’s copy of Mazinger Z…”

You have no idea how hard I had to bite my tongue when I was first introduced to Taekwon V because one of my favorite TV show as a kid was based on another of Go Nagai’s giant robots.

# 2 & # 3,

The Japanese will surpass this by building a life sized SDF-1 and putting the amusement park inside it… ;)

15 Brendon Carr September 9, 2009 at 3:55 pm

I don’t think Japan is quite so concerned with beating Korea as Korea is concerned with beating Japan. Kind of like how the University of Missouri gets up for the University of Kansas every year — KU doesn’t actually get the same thrill from beating MU as MU does from putting it to KU. In fact, I think it’s just another game to them, while Mizzou treats that game as the end-all and be-all. You can lose every other game, just beat them Hawker Bastards.

Taekwon V is Korea’s Truman the Tiger, just as VANK is an analogue to the Antlers. Does KU have anything like the Antlers? No. I don’t think they have to.

16 Sperwer September 9, 2009 at 4:42 pm

I don’t think Japan is quite so concerned with beating Korea as Korea is concerned with beating Japan.

To engage in (just a little) hyperbole, I don’t think Japan gives a rat’s ass about Korea, except as a potential threat – an active aggressive threat in the case of the North and the same sort of vacuum-like threat that it perceived Korea to be in the late 19th century in the case of a South Korea that cannot be relied upon to line-up squarely with Japan and its allies in respect of what Japan perceives to be significant security threats.

17 Koreansentry September 9, 2009 at 5:06 pm

@12 SomeguyinKorea, TaekwonV came out just before Grendizer, Grendizer is another version of MazingerZ from same Japanese creator. I also went crazy over TaekwonV and rest of Mazinger versions.

18 Koreansentry September 9, 2009 at 5:11 pm

Brendon Carr @15, Japan is equally passionate about beating off Korea. I don’t think they will go nuts over this Robot crap but they will certainly wants Dokdo back as Takeshima. Also, Japanese scholars have been trying to claim ancient Korean history as ‘Japanese’ origin. Adding to this, Japan have been using North Korea for right to arm themselves with huge military spendings.

19 wjk, 검은 머리 외국인 September 9, 2009 at 5:58 pm

they hate Truman the President, in South Korea.

the Japanese themselves don’t like the SDF-1, as much as the Americans do. That’s because they had better competing robot shows to watch in the same period.

This life size Taekwon V comes on the heels of a life size Gundam RX-78.

I once wanted to be an engineer to build life size robots, until I figured out it’s going to be cars in reality, and how hard both actually are.

Koreansentry,

Hate to burst your bubble, but Taekwon V came out in July 1976. Grendizer came out in October 1975.

Mazinger and Grendizer are both creations of the same artist, Go Nagai.

22 Sperwer September 9, 2009 at 7:59 pm

24 SomeguyinKorea September 10, 2009 at 12:57 am

BM,

The article you link to isn’t much better. The guy seems quite excited at the thought of Mechs battling one another in the near future.

BTW, if they can manage to produce one that is fast and durable at 375000$, it would very cheap in terms of military hardware.

25 SomeguyinKorea September 10, 2009 at 12:58 am

You know, some of the comments on the other blogs have revealed the insecurity of some Americans! Let’s face it, America’s robot tradition is probably equal to Korea’s. The most creative robots are from dubbed Japanese cartoons (i.e. Transformers and Robotech).

The comments are like, “Oh my gosh, the Asians are building massive robot statues! What can we build from our pop culture?” Suggestions consist of the Terminator cyborg (too small at around 6 feet tall) to a massive 400 foot tall Bender.

I propose a gigantic 500 foot tall statue of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. I know it’s not a robot, but wouldn’t it be cool?

28 NetizenKim September 10, 2009 at 1:29 am

How about a 500 foot tall statue of Michael Jackson?

29 Mizar5 September 10, 2009 at 2:29 am

Koreansentry: “Japan is equally passionate about beating off Korea. I don’t think they will go nuts over this Robot crap but they will certainly wants Dokdo back as Takeshima. Also, Japanese scholars have been trying to claim ancient Korean history as ‘Japanese’ origin.”

Koreansentry, everyone except brainwashed Koreans knows that Japan doesn’t really care about the 2 little rocks that Rhee Sigmund took from Japan and that they have been extremely muted in their response to Korea’s grab and occupation.

Koreansentry: “Adding to this, Japan have been using North Korea for right to arm themselves with huge military spendings.”

Yes, just like South Korea, they have a soverign right to defend themselves, and modern Japanese govt has not been guilty of a single act of aggression that has been a cause for any concern. They only still allow a US military presence as a concession to the alliance.

By contrast, the only concession Korea has made to the alliance is to understand that they should prepare to share more equitably in the costs of their own defence. That is, of course, better than nothing, but hardly enough considering how disproportionatly SK has benefited from the US alliance.

Furthermore, if you were Japanese, would you rely on South Korea for your nation’s defence – or even a magnanimous United States?

I wish Korean patriotism were not so irrational. It is reminiscent of phony patriotism of US conservatives, who are, after all, really interested in selling out their country for the sake of the wealthiest 1% (with a slight trickle down to the nexst 9%.

30 Pyotr September 10, 2009 at 2:40 am

A few hours ago on my way out of Korea, I drove past a sculpture near Incheon Airport that looked like an enormous metallic Zeppelin balanced on an equally large and metallic mono-testicular scrotum. Very appealing in its own way.

Does anyone know what it’s supposed to represent? Does it relate in any way to the metallic trilobite (or some water bug, or something from “Alien”) that covers the airport’s parking lot?

I actually like the airport a lot, but have no idea what these shapes represent.

I’m not sure what Michael Bay wants.

The new Transformers toys are just plain out ugly.
Megatron doesn’t even look like a Walther P38.
Starscream doesn’t even look like a F-15 Tomcat.
Do it right, dumbass.

If the toy makers were smart, they would reproduce it like it was.

Re-release Transformers, GI Joe (they did it right, but sold out fast it seems), Voltron, He-Man, Robotech in pristine 1980s mold.

But, the Japanese adults who used to be children have better toys. They have precision craftsmen like detailed toys of their same era, such that they literally view all of the above mention as, CRAP.

I’m starting to believe Mizar5 isn’t Korean either. His misspellings of Korean words that he definitely ought to know (what Korean doesn’t know the difference between Kyungsang-do and Kyungsan-do?) and readiness to challenge the Hive Mind disturb me.

But you, friend — your bilious fixation with male genitalia indelibly marks you as a charter member of the Lucky Penis Club™. Even freshmen pledging the TKE house aren’t as worked up about their sad little weiners as Korean males are. I’ve got a challenge for WJK. I’d like to see 30 days pass without WJK making a reference here on the Marmot’s Hole to any form of genitalia, male or female, yours or others’.

wouldn’t it be funny if we gave our phallus-fascinated friend the nickname “penisboy,” and referred to him as nothing but from here on out?

51 Koreansentry September 10, 2009 at 1:00 pm

SomeguyinKorea @21, OK I was wrong. I’m guessing I was referring to South Korea. Grendizer imported much later time than TKV in Korea.

Mizar5 @29, you calling me brained washed? It looks like your the brain washed. I don’t care about conservative Japanese, you go and ask any Japanese about Korea, they’ll say ‘Korea’ doesn’t have right to hold two small islets.

Modern Japanese govt can’t do shit about it when they have U.S watching over them. But mind you they don’t need to spend over $100 billion dollars on expanding military if they are truly peaceful country. Right to defend from whom? North Korea? Oh man, here is another brain washed victim believing North Korea really is powerful country. Did you know NK don’t even have enough fuel to start the war? Their long range missiles are 1970s technology any modern US patriot missiles can intercept these missiles. Japan have South Korean military in between them and North Korea. Also modern Japanese govt have been distorting history and pursuing opportunity in every corners to influence over Korea, I’m surprised to see person like you still living in la la land. Japanese govt just recently claimed Dokdo again.

52 cmm September 10, 2009 at 2:39 pm

Koreansentry, I’ve asked my Japanese friend about the Japanese take on the Dokdo thing, and instead of telling me, “Korea’ doesn’t have right to hold two small islets,” he laughed and told me that Japanese people really don’t care about it. Then laughed at the silliness of those who get all passionate about such a non-issue.

53 yuna September 10, 2009 at 2:49 pm

I’m Korean, and I also don’t care and I will laugh about it until the Japanese who didn’t care about it suddenly takes it back after all the non-preparation it’s not done in not taking it to the international court and suddenly takes it back.
I’m laughing along with cmm’s friends – hahaha – look at all these crazy (majority of) Koreans and (small portion of) Japanese people, fighting over such a non-issue..

54 WangKon936 September 10, 2009 at 2:55 pm

cmm,

I don’t really care one way or the other about Dokdo/Takashima but the Korean crazies generally get stirred up when such and such Japan province claims the islets as theirs. So, it’s not like these Korean crazies don’t get all agitated all by their lonesome.

55 WangKon936 September 10, 2009 at 2:59 pm

#43,

Dude, where is your imagination..? So static… now that sounds like a fundamentalist christian.

56 yuna September 10, 2009 at 3:05 pm

태권브이’s arms and legs remind me of that failed South Korean rocket in their design, matt paint, and too round and cylindrical. They don’t look real and they are ugly. I prefer 건담’s angular structured appendages. 태권브이 looks like it’s been designed without actually thinking about material science at all. Also, I think 철이 (철수?) and 영희 (was it?) and the professor are all two two-dimensional in their characters. The song was ok though.

57 cmm September 10, 2009 at 3:35 pm

I realize that some province in Japan claims Dokdo every year or so… if no one was claiming it, the issue would go away, right? (actually, I doubt it would.) But who else are getting agitated? Sounds like you are suggesting that their is something near the outrage in Japan that there is here over the issue. Is this what you are saying? And if so, can you back it up?

58 Darth Babaganoosh September 10, 2009 at 4:53 pm

he laughed and told me that Japanese people really don’t care about it. Then laughed at the silliness of those who get all passionate about such a non-issue.

To be fair, while most Japanese don’t give a shit about the Liancourt Rocks, there IS a small segment of them that go just as batshit crazy over some rocks the Russians dare claim (sorry, name of the islands slipped my mind).

When I was in Tokyo last winter, the main street in Shinjuku was taken over by (I’m assuming former- and reserve-) Japanese soldiers, lined up beside their trucks and armored vehicles like Korean riot police and their buses, protesting loudly against the Russians.

I had to look around to make sure I wasn’t still in Korea. Got a nice couple of photos to remind me of the silliness.

59 yuna September 10, 2009 at 5:23 pm

Sounds like you are suggesting that their is something near the outrage in Japan that there is here over the issue

Me? or Wangkon? I don’t think either of us are. Koreans are like their super sensitive little brother, every time something like 시마네(Shimane Prefecture) passes a rule decreeing Takeshima Day happens and this gets out on the front page of Daum/Naver but not on the yahoo.co.jp & of course majority of the Japanese aren’t aware or don’t care (or pretend unawareness while silently laughing into their gentle coughs) but the Koreans get all riled up.
Also, the Japanese are great at 약올리는 Koreans, and pretending, “Oh why are you so angry?” While I don’t think that they care about Koreans that much, nonetheless, to have such volatile people as their closest neighbours…they do like to poke fun.. Of course when the Koreans sometimes beat them miraculously at their own game, like winning some games of 야구 or figure skating their true feelings show more ^^

I am a great optimist when it comes to the relations between the two. I think so far it’s good that Korea tried to have *some* closed border policy when it came to Japanese pop culture, because that’s enabled them to develop some unique ones of its own (and also, I admire some spunk in a country, at least we are not like Taiwan, the island which wouldn’t mind being part of Japan) so that now a lot of the Japanese ( younger ones as well as the yonsama worshiping obaachans) actually find Korea interesting enough.

60 shakuhachi September 10, 2009 at 7:32 pm

The whole Korea-Japan relationship reminds me of THE FOUNTAINHEAD by Ayn Rand, in which Korea is Ellsworth Toohey and Japan is Howard Roark, and specifically, this dialogue -

Toohey (Korea): “Mr. Roark, we’re alone here. Why don’t you tell me what you think of me? In any words you wish. No one will hear us.”

Roark (Japan): “But I don’t think of you.”

I think this explains a lot of the acting out against Japan, the finger chopping, live animal mutilation, using copyright violated robots to “protect” Dokdo, etc.

61 Sonagi September 10, 2009 at 7:37 pm

To be fair, while most Japanese don’t give a shit about the Liancourt Rocks, there IS a small segment of them that go just as batshit crazy over some rocks the Russians dare claim (sorry, name of the islands slipped my mind).

The Kuril Islands are more than a few rocks.

62 yuna September 10, 2009 at 7:55 pm

65 Mizar5 September 11, 2009 at 1:24 am

@ 60 shakuhachi, yes, that also explains a great deal of the anti-Americanism that arose around the accident when those 2 schoolgirls walked in front of the US military vehicle. Koreans felt “disregarded” by the US and demanded a response from no one less than the president himself.

66 Mizar5 September 11, 2009 at 1:52 am

Yuna is definately progressive. Koreansentry, however, is not really well informed or well reasoned. To wit, you prove my point:

“Modern Japanese govt can’t do shit about it when they have U.S watching over them. But mind you they don’t need to spend over $100 billion dollars on expanding military if they are truly peaceful country. Right to defend from whom? North Korea? Oh man, here is another brain washed victim believing North Korea really is powerful country. Did you know NK don’t even have enough fuel to start the war? Their long range missiles are 1970s technology any modern US patriot missiles can intercept these missiles. Japan have South Korean military in between them and North Korea. Also modern Japanese govt have been distorting history and pursuing opportunity in every corners to influence over Korea, I’m surprised to see person like you still living in la la land. Japanese govt just recently claimed Dokdo again.”

First, you conflate “powerful” with dangerous and unstable. With NK, there is precedent, threatening rhetoric, beligererent action massive military expenditures and seething hatred of Japan. And the very failure of their “long range” missile technology threatens Japan directly.

As for modern Japanese govt’s “distorting history,” are you denying that Korea does this as well?

Regarding “pursuing opportunity in every corners to influence over Korea” and “Japanese govt just recently claimed Dokdo again”, are you not aware of how Rhee wrested control of Dokdo?

Most significant, do you really maintain that Japan represents a military threat to Korea? Or are you just willing to believe the worst based on prejudice?

I ask you these pointed questions because there are intelligent, well-informed and forward thinking Koreans like Yuna. There may still be hope for you to overcome the effects of your operant conditioning at the hands of the abusive Korean education system.

67 Mizar5 September 11, 2009 at 2:04 am

Brendon:”I’m starting to believe Mizar5 isn’t Korean either. His misspellings of Korean words…and readiness to challenge the Hive Mind disturb me.”

This really “disturbs” you? Or did you merely use me for rhetorical effect to contrast my non-Koreanness with wjk’s fixation with male genitalia, which he intends to equate with Koreanness?

I can assure you that Koreans are no more fixated on penises than any other nationality. It’s just that wjk is more so due to his lack of sexual experience and an inferiority complex, which is decidedly Korean.

By the way, I acknowledge that I am a notorious misspeller in both English and Korean, but it has nothing to do with my peenis. If my spelling of the word is longer than wjk’s, that only makes sense. He might even consider using a smaller font when referencing his.

68 NetizenKim September 11, 2009 at 2:20 am

71 WangKon936 September 11, 2009 at 4:30 am

In keeping with the theme of this post, I say we put NK and Mizar in their respective Gundam and Gyan mobile battle suits and see them duke it out… to the death.

Thanks, WangKon, but I don’t see eye to eye with much that Jon Huer writes and have never seen him write about the issues above, so it appeared that NK was looking to pidgeonhole me.

73 wjk, 검은 머리 외국인 September 11, 2009 at 9:15 am

Mizar5, once again reveals that he is NOT Korean.

Korean males are in fact VERY fascinated and preoccupied with GOCHU.

Go to a mokyoktang. Looking at someone else’s gochu is a REFLEX.

Telling a kid and commenting about his gochu is pretty much accepted as NON sexual harrasment.

Korean boys in a camp in the middle of nowhere? Someone will bust out his gochu and pretend he is gay.

Halmunee, Halahbujee, demanding to see a kid’s gochu is norm.

But there are precious few gays in Korea. There are a highly alarming more in Phillipines, Thailand, Samoa. I can’t explain why this is so. But the above countries accept them and even have a subculture for them as a legit place hold in society. In Korea? Hell no.

I’ll say it again.
Mizar5, I will rip out your dick and force feed it into your anus.

74 PineForest September 11, 2009 at 10:56 am

WJK,

You can’t fool me with that whole “taking the high road” debating style.

Go to a mokyoktang. Looking at someone else’s gochu is a REFLEX.

Keep telling yourself that buddy.

Mizar5, I will rip out your dick and force feed it into your anus.

Why would you do that? He’s always giving you a reach-around while administering his rhetorical fistings to you. Be happy with what you got; it’s probably the best you’ll ever do.

“…there are precious few gays in Korea.”

let me fix this for you, penisboy:

…there are precious few openly gays in Korea.

cmm @ 57, I guess you have meet these real Japanese. Frankly speaking even Koreans don’t generally care about Dokdo as long as Japanese don’t provoke it first.

Mizar5 @ 66, you’re an idiot. Go and learn how Japanese distorted theirs and others just proved that they have some connection with cultures of Incas, Korean, Jews etc.. They even have top researchers and scholars writing up journals and essays.

Conclusion: Koreansentry and wjk struck out on 3 pitches.
wjk squats and takes some more balls to the chin.

That was harshgayfunny. I’ll have to back read to see what led up to it.

Okay. Well…
“But there are precious few gays in Korea.”
Tease as you must……
Back in the mid 90′s, I had a few club girls as friends. They took me out after closing time to a bar that freaked me the hell out. It was FULL of made up girlymen and a couple of half-worked trannies tended bar. Great fun for the girls. I got so creeped, I went up to ground level, out the alley to the street and got the first taxi the hell out of there.
“precious few gays” indeed.

82 Mizar5 September 12, 2009 at 12:09 am

wjk:But there are precious few gays in Korea. There are a highly alarming more in Phillipines, Thailand, Samoa. I can’t explain why this is so. But the above countries accept them and even have a subculture for them as a legit place hold in society. In Korea? Hell no.

Back in the 70s a gay foreign friend in Korea advised me that Korea had a reputation among gays as a gay haven. The reason he gave is that Korean men are more effeminite than most Asian guys, just as Korean women tend to exaggerate their femininity. It’s cultural.

As there is no empirical evidence to suggest that there are more or less gays in Korea than other Asian nations, and wjk’s unsupported assertions are always suspect, his comment tends to lend further credence to the opposite view.

83 Mizar5 September 12, 2009 at 12:24 am

Koreans are renouned for a lack of gaydar.

Numerous Korean women suffer heartbreak flinging themselves at prettyboy gay entertainers who will not come out. People in the Korean entertainment industry tell me that it is rife with gay men who are idolized by Korean women, which is one reason they won’t come out.

BTW, how is it that “precious few” comments are being made about Korean lesbians? I have heard that there is a large number of them among dancers.

84 WangKon936 September 12, 2009 at 12:55 am

Okay… too many off topic gay comments…

Common blogshit.

wookinponub: “Just sayin’…And just which insecure poster steered the thread this way?”

See post #76. Is there something wrong with being gay? Those who villify it appear to “protest too much.” Just sayin’…

must have been Trance. for whatever reason a lot of very nice club girls used to like to blow off steam there. of course the odds of meeting nice girls in gay bars is rather high-i learned that a long time ago at the stud bar in san francisco.

did it ever occur to you that they’re more visible because they’re more accepted? i assure you there are not “precious few gays” in the ROK. get off the crack, wjk.

how does Mizar5 live all decades of modern history as super elite Koreano?

There are mucho mucho more gays in the Phillipines, Thailand, and Samoa. Not so much in Korea.

I think in Samoa, there is a gay class servant of somesort. In Thailand, something called Katoi or something like that. I forget.

I don’t know what it is with you white boys in Korea keep on telling the Korean woman that the
1/ Korean gasu boy is a fag.
2/ your dick will liberate Soonja.
3/ gays are cool, but Korean fags are disgusting or something like that.

I can only wish you and pray that the following happen to your mixed children.
1/ May all your half Korean boys be homos.
2/ May you and Soonja be divorced within 10 years.

Love, peace.

I will fight the hypocritical Male Barbie doll.
I have a lot of things on my mind recently, but
I will still rip off Mizar5′s dick and dip it in his peanut butter and this time, make him chew it with his teeth. Worthless piece of shit non Korean guy posing as a Korean.

Having recently seen “9,” I thought I might come to this thread for an intelligent, nuanced discussion of robots in pop culture.

Ha ha.

I know, it’s so easy to take the high road when everybody’s talkin’ ’bout gay boners. But still, folks. Really.

92 Sonagi September 12, 2009 at 9:09 am

Soonja? I don’t think too many MH white dicks are liberating women named Soonja, a name that dropped off the list of popular girls’ names after the US liberated Korea from Japanese rule.

93 NetizenKim September 12, 2009 at 9:14 am

What was that analogy again, Sonagi?

94 Mizar5 September 12, 2009 at 10:56 am

I just came here to see a train wreck.

95 seouldout September 12, 2009 at 11:36 am

Soonja is probably Dr. Creepy’s momma. After his father split–too embarrassed by his son–she took a job selling juice. Some GI married her and the whole wjk clan emigrated. In the land of the big PX Koreans ridiculed him for his background. And real ‘Mercans ridiculed him for being a… well, let’s be frank about it… being a weirdo.

That he’s found a job at the morgue where he can pursue his fascination of dicks is a testament to his ‘Mercan dream.

96 wjk, 검은 머리 외국인 September 12, 2009 at 11:54 am

Sooja is the name of Jun Doo Hwan’s wife.

My mother graduated from Sookmyung Women’s University. Not a juice ajumma. My parents never split.

‘Some GI married her and the whole wjk clan emigrated.’
–Is this how you fuckheads ‘liberate’ Koreans?

I’m not in pathology, so the dicks I see are attached to real people.

Go peanut butter up your dick, and have it licked up–by a dog. Maybe it’ll bite it off cleaner than John Wayne Bobbitt. You stupid mother banger. I wouldn’t bang your mother, because she bangs you, and that’s well, sick.
