Alas, More Sogogi-gate… with Cartoon
Sun, 11 May 2008 10:20:24 PDT
It’s getting weirder, folks. So, let’s summarize this cartoon. This cow is infected with mad cow via the three major Korean newspapers labeled on it. I guess the newspapers who created the mad cow hysteria are considered crazy now that they’re backtracking and trying to clarify the rumors they had spread before. Oh, whatever, here’s the translation from The Hankyoreh: A cow branded with the signatures of the Chosun Ilbo, JoonAng Ilbo, and DongA Ilbo has specified risk material in its br

Sun, 11 May 2008 10:23:46 PDT
