Maybe I should join up, too.

The Korea Times tells us that some Korean-Americans will join a lawsuit against "PD Diary," the program that helped turn the fear of Mad Cow Disease from imported American beef---known as "Mad Bull Shit" on this blog---into a national pastime. The reason they're getting involved?

The ethnic Koreans are claiming they have been humiliated and ridiculed by other Americans over the turmoil regarding the safety of U.S. beef in Korea, which was partially triggered by the program.

LOL, that's a ridiculous reason to get involved, and I wish these, um, concerned Korean-Americans had spoken up earlier. After all, Americans weren't humiliating and ridiculing Koreans-Americans . . . at all . . . but if I'm obligated to complete that thought than I should say that Americans weren't humilating and ridiculing Korean-Americans because of "PD Diary," they were humiliating and ridiculing Korean-Americans because thousands upon thousands of Koreans were taking to the streets in protest of American beef based on absolutely irrational fears of Mad Cow Disease. I feel confident in saying that most Americans have no idea what "PD Diary" is, or what role it played in instigating Mad Bull Shit, especially since the program barely registered in the media back home even after CNN first reported on it last month. Say what you will about the other issues that involved themselves in later protests, but we musn't forget that countless students, teachers, and citizens were saying things like:

Cha Yoon-min, 13, attended the protest with his mother, a lawyer in Seoul. "I am afraid of American beef," he said. "I could study hard in school. I could get a good job and then I could eat beef and just die."

Have a look through the earlier entries in the "Mad Bull Shit" category if you need a refresher course in what, I'm sure, many around here will begin to deny happened at all. But, on the topic of this KT article at hand, I was repeatedly questioned and harangued by panic-strickened Koreans who believed everything they heard on that program, so I guess that means I have a stake in this, too. Hell, I was ostracized at work and nearly lost my job disputing what the program said, and colleagues in Jeollanam-do still believe the program is true because of an unwavering distrust in the quote-unquote conservative papers that reported on the show's distortions. So I wonder how much money I can get from this.
