I absolutely love language humor. There’s a lot of bad English examples, but does anyone know of any Korean ones? I would love to see that.

Kim Jung-Il’s Comedy Club

Kim Jung-Il’s Comedy Club is an extremely unique look into North Korea. Most documentaries about North Korea involve just going to the country and documenting what they see around them as they go on a tour. This is not that kind of documentary.
Two Korean-born Danes, one handicapped (almost unheard of in North Korea), go to North Korea along with a director to do a comedy skit and share their culture. Only that really isn’t their goal. Their goal is to show just how ridiculous the North Korean government is. Watch as they present a pizza shovel as a gift for Kim Jong-Il, interact with people who don’t deal with handicapped people, walk in a huge march and get shown on North Korean TV, perform a skit and get absolutely no laughs from their guides, have their skit totally changed, and more!
UPDATE: Well, the video was removed.

I’ve tried using my foreigner registration and it’s worked on a couple of sites so that’s cool. What’s uncool is that my i-pin doesn’t work on the sites that use i-pin rather than the foreign registration number. A message comes up that says the server failed. foreigner friendly FAIL.
Today I was looking at KT’s QOOK & SHOW website and thought there might be an easy way for me to see the services targeted towards foreigners. I saw ‘ENGLISH SERVICE’ at the top right and I clicked it. It popped up a messaged that said ‘log-in required.’ Okay, I’ll go ahead and make a quick account now that I have my foreign registration. I click on the link to sign up (which you would have to know the word in Korean) and after agreeing to like 6 different service agreements and signing away my first-born son I got this lovely screen requiring me to have a Korean registration number. Ef you KT. FAIL.
