This is going to be a quick update since I have an obligation very shortly (I'll explain all about it on Thursday, most likely), but I have something amusing to share.
You see, I was flipping through my textbook at school and saw the same-old-same-old... fill-in-the-blank, repeat after me, wooden "dialogues" to rehearse... etc, etc. However, I eventually came across a rather interesting lesson on making requests such as, "Could you please pass the soju?". The content of the lesson looked like this:
So, we have the Green family: a happy, middle-American family. There's Mr. Green, Ms. Green, Bill, and Lisa. I have to say, they are a VERY demanding family! But there's something unusual about this... I can't quite put my finger on it but maybe.....
...they're the frigging SIMPSONS?!
Granted, there have been some changes: Lisa and Marge have had much-needed haircuts and Marge has shoulder coverings because... well... Marge has very sexy shoulders (side note: Koreans find exposed shoulders to be very erotic, so if a woman wears a tanktop she is considered to be loose. Extremely short skirts, however, are clearly virtuous and dignified things to wear).
But even the name "Green Family" is like a parody of "Groening"- the last name of the creator of the Simpsons! At least they didn't name the boy "Bort"... although that would be amazing!
Does anybody remember this episode?!
Well, now I REALLY have to run, but for what it's worth, I thought this was hilarious!
It's like Mr. Sparkle is happening again.
