If you keep teaching your students to put "man" after sentences, I'm going to punch you.

Ouch, this is quite the video on Korea.net, as part of some "WOW Korea!" user-created content drive or something about the wonders of living in South Korea. "How do they know where we are?" the guy asks after ordering delivery. Um, because you told him where you are, maybe. But the hits don't stop there. If you hurry you can go and take the quiz on bullfighting.

The site also has a section for you to upload your own stuff, titled "Show! Your WOW Korea." My alma mater has a similar phrase, popular more among students than among administrators. If you want those around you to show their Indiana University of Pennsylvania school spirit, you might encourage them by saying "Show us your IUPness."

Well, it's just a UCC on some website, and not as bad as the "Seoul: My Story" commercial that was running pretty frequently on the Discovery Channel for a while. They had a Chinese woman describe some of the highlights of her trip to Seoul---"we have Biking"---but for some reason she left out assaulting Koreans at Olympic torch relay protests.

HT to The Marmot's Hole.
