Not Responsible

Given that Koreans are inclined -- except in those areas of Seoul where us freakish, hairy, buttery barbarians are commonplace -- to stare unblinking, or point and giggle when spotting a non-Korean, and are also known on occasion (when they're pretty sure we're not in earshot) to make westerners-as-apes jokes, this made me giggle. I don't mind the stares as much as I used to, unless I'm having a bad day. I'll probably have to get used to it again, living out in the boonies as we do now.

Anyway, I am so getting this made into a T-shirt.

The writing is Japanese, not Korean, but that's OK. I'll get that added in later. [found at The Site Which Must Not Be Named]

    I wonder if the Koreans would 'pick up on the joke'?
