K, relative n00b here. I know the "26 minutes" joke, but have no idea where it started.

Now that you mention it, that guy and Kim Jong Il have a lot in common...

You should be able to google it for more. Some yuppie douchebag in Atlanta had an online slapfight on match.com with a girl who apparently snubbed him and didn't appreciate him as much as he appreciated himself.

Thanks for the link! There are two things in his reply to the incompatibility e-mail that I think are even better than the gym thing:

1) He tells her he's an 8.9 on Hot or Not. It doesn't matter whether he is or isn't, just the fact that he said it says mountains about his ego.

2) He still signs his e-mail "Regards." With all the rudeness that proceeded, why even bother with a polite sign-off? That business school training kicking in.

Let me put my surprised face on. Wait. wait. there we go.

It's a shiatty situation, North Korea. The best outcome would be to surround the place so nobody can go in or out, then snipe Kim Jong in the damned head. Wait out the ensuing panic, and almost ANYONE who takes over will be more reasonable to work with.

Works just fine for me. Just make sure that you get them all.

Another interview with him


Hehe. I had no idea he got that much attention - network TV and everything. Thanks for the link! I've got my schadenfreude quota for the day filled.

hahaha this never gets old. thanks subby. and i hope this thread continues about him and not korea or vietnam or whatever the story was about...

One thing I learned from watching Korean movies is that Koreans don't talk much:

They should have hired a stripper or two. Sex is the astroglide of effective team building.

SacriliciousBeerSwiller: He's a Mensa member? I had heard that they lowered their standards, but damn...

Still 98th percentile on IQ, but that's 98th pt against the American public. So in a sense, you're exactly right.

Quote of the Day:

"They don't like anyone who isn't Korean, and they don't like each other all that much, either. They're hardheaded, hard-drinking, tough little bastards, 'the Irish of Asia'."

- P.J. O'Rourke


/Had a Korean roommate in college.
//So I'm really getting a kick out of these responses.

FTFA: "The talks broke off after the North Korean delegation refused to discuss the release of a detained South Korean worker, saying he was not on the agenda, according to South Korean officials."

Ain't that just the way of the bureaucrat? "Sorry, we need the agenda form, signed, notarized, and routed in triplicate for review before we can discuss this matter. NEXT!"

quizzical: 1) He tells her he's an 8.9 on Hot or Not. It doesn't matter whether he is or isn't, just the fact that he said it says mountains about his ego.

When someone applies decimal points to a hot or not scale, they're overanalyzing things.

what_now: Shut up, Kim Jong Il, you cock.

I like it.
Now to get a politician to say it...

Yeah. I came for those pics. WTF?

I think we should join their game and PK all of them..

Unfortunately he has thousands of artillery pieces pointed at Seoul, and a very big and fanatical army. I'd love to see this douchebag die, but it would involve phenomenal amounts of damage to the Korean peninsula.

Frankly, China need to start leaning on this guy, but they're quite happy to milk the situation.

Not planning to visit.

Best quote in the whole thing:

"If this could happen to an Ivy League grad and someone who has an IQ like mine, this could happen to anyone."

I really hope he was playing along at this point.

I don't know that they would shell Seoul over it, but it wouldn't change much, the Army runs NK, Kims or no Kims. China is only about half a partner in anything we might want to do, because its in their interest to just support the status quo, as pretty much anything else is going to result in assloads of north koreans flooding over their border.

Its a pretty inflexible situation really, the only credible threat the north has is their artillery trained on Seoul and the second it starts firing pretty much the lot of them are likely to DIAF. At the same time they could cause a hell of alot of damage in those first few hours.

If North Korea and China have nuclear weapons and refuse to give them up, we should let Japan and South Korea take a peak at our nuclear secrets at Los Alamos.

Of course there will be an economic trade off in the deal.

ManicParroT: Frankly, China need to start leaning on this guy, but they're quite happy to milk the situation.

I don't think China would be too keen on having a second Korean War break out. They'd eventually get involved somehow, if only to stop the refugees that would be fleeing North Korea. They'd probably do something beforehand to prevent it.

But they do need to put more pressure on North Korea, as China seems to be the only country that crazy little madman listens to.

I would have gone with that too, maybe a picture of Rick Mercer.

Also, I came here for the Zerg rush jokes, but leave disappointed.

It's the diplomatic version of speed dating.

sorry kiwdawabbit,

me too,
might check back in though.

Ahhh a JFP headline

"South Korea"? You mean the land illegally occupied by the United States' capitalist oppressors?

I don't get why South Korea would want to locate businesses in North Korea as the North is not to be trusted on anything. I guess once again greed trumps good sense.

Rev. Skarekroe: "South Korea"? You mean the land illegally occupied by the United States' capitalist oppressors?

Way to spin it.

South Korea has a perfectly legal puppet government.

CNN must have changed the article since it didn't mention anything about the diplomats going to work out after the talks.

again?
