...some humourless leftie publishes an article calling Gangnam Style offensive. :rolleyes:

When is this ever going to end?

I find that I trust the Guardian a lot more than the Sun, the Daily Express, and the Daily Torygraph.

Ahhh, I'm just going to stick to BBC News. Gangnam style is just fun.

Stupidest thing I've ever seen. It's done nothing but good things for Korea, in my opinion.

True, but to be fair that's not much of a compliment :biggrin:

Do you always wet yourself when you come across an article you don't agree with?

Haha, indeed. High five for that! :biggrin:

WTF? Seriously...

I only really like reading the guardian because nearly all articles are open for comments, and the comments are often more informative and amusing than the article itself.

In fairness I've just watched it, and it's decent. He is funny, and the video is good, the song could just be a generic dance song in the UK charts though.

Why don't any North Korean videos get such exposure?

The Guardian has become a parody of itself.

That video is amazing.

The Guardian is nothing but a parody of everything everyone hates in the 'liberal left'.

So because some people find East Asisn men comical, they should never try to do anything funny? That's some brilliant logic.

I don't personally understand all the fuss about Gangnam, other than it's just another silly dance, but the article you point to isn't all that leftie, it makes some good points, its quite amusingly written and it is true that E. Asian people attract a lot of stereotyping here in the West. Maybe take your silly Daily Mail-induced right-wing reflexes to a better target?
