I was flipping around youtube watching old starcraft documentaries(like the national geographic 2005 documentary about xellos or the [g99]slayer documentary) and found this little gem:


Apparently no one told Obama about Starcraft leagues....
And although some may deem this not blog material, what ever I thought it was funny as hell.

To be fair, the pressure on education there is enormous. But yes, we watched this in school and my friends and I all laughed at that quote.

Obama really lacks people to do research on East Asian cultures (remember his impolite bow to the Japanese emperor?). I guess he is really the popularist.

I think the point he was trying to get across was that Korean education is a lot more demanding and competitive. But yes that was still funny, he needs to go to Korea during the G20 meeting and go look at some PC cafes

Uuuhh who do we have here. Its that slippery, deceptive B Obama. You know what, thats some tough propaganda right there, ofcourse the US president is informed about whats going on in South Korea. Obama must have studied Hitler, like Hitler would have said similar things about the people from Austria. I beleived he called the Austrians übermenschen (elite people).

Dont beleive that shit... just dont....

meh he has a fair point if he's talking about 9th-12th graders (중3-고3). koreans around that age really do play less than the average american kid with the exception of the hardcore gamers that you hear about living at pc bangs.

Agreed.
One of my biggest regrets is resisting my parents trying to make me learn a second language at a really young age ):
