It is with great trepidation that I announce that I was this week’s guest for the Seoul Podcast. If you ever wondered what I sound like when I’m being really, really silly . . . well, this would be your chance. Go ahead and click here if you want to lose what little respect you might have had for me.

Ok, this is just for fun, but one of my favorite “songs” of all time is Bulbous Bouffant by The Vestibules. Have you ever said a word over and over again until it ceased to have meaning and became just sound? Probably you haven’t, but I’m weird and I have. That’s the basic idea behind this skit . . .

For more fun, you can find more songs and skits at www.thevestibules.com

Are there too many foreign (especially western) models working in the Korean underwear modeling industry?

The Sports Chosun did a little . . .uh, research into the issue, and Korea Beat kindly translated it into English There’s also a discussion going on over at FeetManSeoul. The Grand Narrative has also talked about this topic in great detail, and found some research that says it’s not just underwear (PDF) that’s being hawked to Koreans using foreign faces. . .

Personally, nobody’s talking about what really interests me: Are the men in those underoos more likely to be foreign as well? Hmm, time to do some . . .uh, research.
