Roboseyo » My Niece is Cute
One of the best thing about the wedding was the fact all but one of my nieces and nephews came to Korea to be at the wedding. It was awesome! My youngest niece (by one week) was the star of the show for a lot of the trip: her big blue eyes hypnotized the ajummas to give her free stuff, … [Link]

The Grand Narrative » Korean Sociological Image #48: The Male Gaze
( Source: L-C-R. Reproduced with permission ) Like photographer L-C-R says, this 2008 Gundam advertisement is a prime example of a woman being portrayed as a child and/or sex object, of which she saw entirely too much of while she was in Korea. You may be very surprised then, when you learn whom it was actually aimed at. But first, … [Link]

I guess the first rule of being a politician is to never admit you were wrong even when it is plainly obvious: But even though Biden said the surge worked militarily, he said he didn’t regret his vote in the Senate against it because Bush did not include a plan to address Iraq’s political problems. “I don’t regret a thing, … [Link]
