Yeah, it's almost like the vast majority of professional chefs on the planet aren't men.

Yeah, I love how they always conveniently forget to mention that most of these people who win these cars can't afford to actually keep them.

I came here to say this exact thing. I'm glad everybody else hasn't lost their minds. How the hell is With a Vengeance worse than Die Harder or Live Free or Die Hard?

What is that supposed to be, a variation of the "I have black friends, I can't be racist" defense?"

I've never known anybody here who plays Tekken on a console. They usually go play in the darker arcades that aren't designed for couples on dates. I will usually just stand around and watch them, and realize that trying to play would just be a waste of money.

In actual Korea, iPhones are a huge deal. You see people with them everywhere. In many cases, ethnic diasporas are more protective of what they consider to be a "pure" form of their culture because you need to be.

Most linguists consider Korean to be a language isolate, and the view that it's part of the Altaic family is fairly controversial. At least it was the last time I read about this stuff. I think you could attribute most of the lexical similarities to common root words in Chinese or just geographical proximity. That…

I can't speak for the Japanese side of it, but xenophobic/racist sentiments in Korea toward Japan is definitely not something that is created by the media. It is very real, and that shit starts young. That won't go away until everybody who was alive during the occupation or children of people of who were alive during…

Most everything of Chinese origin that exists in Japan got there by way of Korea.

Considering that my first comment wasn't even directed towards you and you first directed your patronizing vitriol my way, kindly go fuck yourself.

Haha, thanks so much for telling me what I feel towards my own culture based on nothing but my musical tastes. That was an epiphany. Here, let me make a sweeping generalization about you based on nothing: Your like of K-pop doesn't make you worldly and more open and accepting of foreign cultures, it makes you a creep…

Oh, I think Western pop is just as terrible.

You are high if you think love songs sung by kids in their late teens and early 20s is geared toward people in their 40s. Also, I very much happen to enjoy the culture of the country from which my parents hail. I firmly believe some of the most interesting movies in Asia, if not the world, come out of Korea. I just…

God, I really must be bored, getting into an online discussion arguing about the merits of music designed to appeal to teenage kids. We'll just agree to disagree on the overall shittiness of K-pop.

Seo Taiji and the boys was not really a boy band. It was one dude making some music with a couple of dancers. It was also totally different than record company produced groups of today. Seo Taiji was just a kid who was making music who happened to become popular because people liked his music.

1)It doesn't really matter that these kids "decided" they wanted to do it. It's still a fairly disgusting exploitation of young kids who don't know shit. How many more do you think get used up by the farm system than actually get put in to a successful group.

Dude, Jinusean hasn't been relevant since the late '90s and Clon hasn't been around since the one guy got paralyzed in a motorcycle accident. But, thanks anyway for your condescending bullshit.

Ugh, K-pop is record company produced garbage. I know all popular music is commercial, but J- and K-pop is so fucking disgustingly blatant about it. Each company has a stable of pre-teen/teen girls and boys that they train and one asshole decides he has a new concept for a group, they pick out a few of their trained…

Can anyone tell me if the game is on a dual layer blu-ray disc? My ps3 has stopped reading those (no The Last of Us for me) I had no interest in XIII-2, but I have to say, the job system is intriguing.

Japanese curry is absolutely terrible. People in Korea eat that shit all the time and I find I'm always disappointed that it's incredibly difficult to find real curry.
