You smell like Dokdo.



The Korea Herald looks at "Ways to remind the world Dokdo is Korean territory," because that's really important, and writes that there's been a Dokdo perfume called "Dokdo Breeze" since January.
To capture the characteristic scent of Dokdo, perfume coordinators have visited the islets several times.

The scent offers the user a touch of the sea and the breeze.

Dokdo scent, though exclusively sold in Korea, is often presented as a souvenir gift to foreigners and is expected to promote the Dokdo issue internationally as well, the company said.

Also, 1 percent of the Dokdo Breeze -29,000 won per bottle ($25) - sales profits are to be donated to the New York Times as Dokdo ad funds.

That makes me want to die a little bit.

Gosh does it include the aroma of gull shit, too? Special...

Wow. Just wow.

I'm guessing it smells like seal shit and all the raw sewage they dump into the ocean surrounding the rocks.

P.T. Barnum called - he wants that 'sucker born every minute' translated into Korean.

I will just say this: Anyone who buys this scent without doing so for humorous purposes needs to be killed.

As a citizen of this country, I die a little inside everytime I hear news like this.

I'm thinking of starting a "New Mexico is American" ad campaign.
