Korea World Leader in Broadband/Technology at Home

How did you know they were talking about South Korea?

maybe by reading the fucking article.

"Not many people would have bet on South Korea becoming the world's leading nation..."

They may be on to something

In 2000, the government launched its Cyber 21 program, to train a million housewives in IT use in 18 months

-Haxx calls Korean Airlines for a flight to korea to find a wife.

Imagine discussing port security during intercourse.

He means South Korea.

I got these Korea at a glance, 15 Fun Facts! Let me tell you, there are a lot of reasons to move there aside from the high bandwidth penetration:

1) Korean women are hot.
2) Don't look at me like that. Seriously, they are muy en fuega.
3) I'm not chauvenistic. The female anatomy is a thing of beauty. Especially in Korea.
4) It's not a fetish thing. Sheesh.
5) They have lots of technology and stuff, unlike Thailand. Also, Thai women (while hot) have AIDS. Seriously, man, you're risking your life.
6) Government less fascist than Singapore or China, and getting less fascist every day (unless it's more, I forget). Although, there's this one Singapore chick who does this really funny webcomic. I would totally do her.
7) No, it's the Japanese who are into the cartoon porn.
8) Whoah! Evidently, Koreans also like the cartoon porn.
9) Korean cartoon porn is totally nasty.
10) Anyway, Korea doesn't look like a giant mall. Japan creeps me out - stainless steel fucking everywhere.
11) All Koreans are nerds, and totally bad ass at the same time. Swear to god, I knew this one guy in my engineering class who could do a backflip and kick out ceiling fixtures - he was 27 and he'd never kissed a girl. They won't even notice how much of a nerd you are. Swear to god.
12) No, he was totally not gay. His parents had arranged a marriage for him with... holy shit, he was so gay. How could I not have seen it? God damn, we were like in the locker room together all the time.
13) I don't have a problem with it! He's a cool guy. Leaves more Korean women for me, heh?
14) What?
15) In Korea, you can pick up chicks by playing video games and drinking soda that's been laced with speed. I swear, that's what pickup joins are like in Korea. Dude, I read it in the nytimes.
