Dokdo commercial on NBC?

Apparently.
NBC, the official broadcaster of the Beijing Olympic Games, aired a 30-second commercial reaffirming Seoul’s sovereignty over the islets on Monday afternoon American time.

The commercial was sponsored by a Korean market scheduled to open in October in Los Angeles.

I'm guessing it only aired in LA, then, because I haven't seen it, and I would have remembered throwing a lamp at the TV if I had. Maybe this is it?



Uninformative? Check. Ambiguous? Check. Lame "Do you know?" tagline? Check. Breakdancers? Breakdancers? Nope, no breakdancers this time. City Market is distorting Korean history!

The images in the commercial looked a little too... um... cleaned up. Never seen Seoul look so... nice! ㅋㅋㅋ

The magic of television, eh? ^^
