Gusts of Popular Feeling takes a long look at media portrayls of foreign---predominantly English-speaking and -teaching---men and women in a couple of movies and TV programs, showing that while foreigner men are often unfairly depicted as aggressive sex-predators, foreign women are by contrast rendered as sexual objects of Korean men's desires. And while some TV shows are quick to highlight the fabricated threat of foreign men, the authorities seem, as the entry points out, uninterested in dealing with actual cases of abuse committed on foreign women. The hypocrisy is not only present in the comparison he does, but also when you consider that the same outlets railing against predatory English teachers also feature sexually suggestive photo galleries and adult-only content.
He also breaks down the episode of "Sexy Mong" I went at
last April; I objected not only to the program for employing inappropriate stereotypes of white men---even though at least two of the three "English teachers" couldn't speak English---but also to the piece of shit foreigners who agree to go on shows like this.
Congratulations, you got to hit on some Korean girls, now go fuck yourselves.

These guys have no self-respect.
well... can you really blame that crap? it's quite hard to find a respectable foreign man (regardless of nationality, or country). From where i came from, it's usually Japanese or businessmen or tourists preying on naive girls.
and yes, i have seen that particularly disgusting episode of that show. The women stooped that low, it's mortifying.
No offense, Brian. You seem like a nice guy (since we only encountered each other online) (^__^).
