Korea should make Naked English.

This morning I read on East Windup Chronicle that Naked News is coming to Korea:
While Naked News plans its inaugural Naked News Awards for later this month, the company is quietly gearing up to roll out a South Korean version of its program.
“This is pretty big,” Naked News founder David Warga told XBIZ. “It will be filmed out of Seoul, Korea, and will include Korean news and presenters.”

I took at look at the free video on the website, both because I like naked people and because I had never seen the programming before. After watching the borderline-attractive women, and listening to the slow English and its unnatural delivery, it occurred to me that it's not that different from what you find on the English education programs here. Korea should make Naked English, and not simply because Son Jong-min is out of work. Koreans love porn (they spend more on it per capita than any other country), love gawking at foreign women, and love making it look like they care about studying English, so this is a hell of an idea. Remember, it's my idea and I thought of it first. I think.

They were planning this over a year ago.
I blogged about it then.

Maybe they just make an announcement every year just to get some publicity.
