But then, I watch a LOT of Korean dramas, so I’m familiar with how they direct actors to speak English in that slow, exaggerated way. Nothing offensive about it. By the way, Keith, if you’ve never tried a Korean show before, I’d highly recommend starting with one like City Hunter (you can watch it on Hulu). Fantastic story, great production and acting (with the exception of the English dialogue, which only occurs briefly in the first episode, if I recall). I think you and Deb will love it. Once you start watching Korean dramas, you can’t stop, and in terms of character development, I’ve found them far more satisfying than most US shows.

I have no brand loyalty. I would’ve posted this if it was Apple, whatever. But by your tone I doubt I’d convince you of that.

I’m looking for info on tv shows. Not rambling pseudo-political posts about tv commercials aimed at the Korean market that fling words like racism and sexism (where none is) to try to make like this was in any way important.

Bullshit timewaste.

(And one word of political advice: Before you bash a major competitor (Samsung) of US companies (like Apple) because of this utterly harmless and irrelevant spot, why don’t you blog about a major US ally like Saudia Arabia. *There* you will find racism and sexism like you don’t believe. But that would be quite uncomfortable, right? Because your business interests are quite in alignment, right? In the end it’s all about USA first, right? But calling others racist. Right…)
