Korean Demonstrators Kill Japan's National Bird

[Mulboyne]

Itai News has some pictures of Korean protesters outside the Japanese embassy in Seoul beating pheasants to death with hammers. The green pheasant is Japan's national bird. There are links to several shots showing how the protesters then slit the birds open with knives

[Mock Cockpit]

Makes 'em taste better if you beat them to death, doesn't it? Fuck me.

[prolly]

just your everyday protest or something specific and new?

[Doctor Stop]

The same South Korean demonstrators later beat dogs to death with hammers and then dug in. The dog is South Korea's national beast, and favourite snack, as partaking of its flesh is believed to confer virility.

I can't think of a better way to tenderize that meat. Shit, Australians shoot kangaroos like they're going out of fashion and that's our national animal right there. I've personally handed rifles to several Japanese nationals to have a go as well so I can't see what the problem is

GOOKS LOL

What a brilliant way to lose world sympathy for your cause.

The Japanese often make PR blunders because of their insularity, but the Koreans manage to take it to a whole new level.

While these types of national pride issues are not ameanable to reason, is there anything more to these islands than a small bunch of rocks in the middle of nowhere?

[bolt_krank]

Yeah - that's really gonna get others on their side.
What could've been a meaningful protest - now just makes them look crazy.

Fuck those dog eating kimchi stinking wannabe chinks

Fuck those dog eating kimchi stinking wannabe gooks

Fixed it for ya.


Had no idea the green pheasant was the 'national bird of Japan'. I thought it was the white crane.

From my understanding, if Japan can claim it as theirs 100%, they can establish an EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone) on the rocks, which apparently allows them to (among other things) extend their national borders into what the Kimchi Republic considers their EEZ. For example, if the Japanese government wished to drop some serious change, they could set up a listening post as well as a forward refueling/resupply station for the JSDF.

However, I get the feeling it has more to do with mineral and fishing rights more than anything else...

That may well be true, but there is also the old WWII loss of face battle going on here. Korea, because the islands had been annexed by Japan and they want to erase anything in history that mentions Japan and Japan, because it wants to hold on to what little it had before. Further, that hidden stigma of defeat still runs deep in mind of the flower children and holding on to, or regaining lost territory does a lot of massaging to bruised ego.

And I thought it was the 20 year old gyaru in a short mini, yappering on her radioactive multi-strap keitai.

Yep, the crow.. and in some occasions..

A well protected national treasure!

My dad told me a similar thing about the Russians giving up the islands of Hokkaido. His oil company(unfortunately just an employee) was trying to get the rights to drill up there. WWII was too painful for the Russians to want to give anything back. Plus, maybe they never forgot about the Russo-Japanese war.

[TennoChinko]

I liked it better when the crazy angry kimchistanis were into self-mutilation.

There must be an easy way to re-start that trend...




Japuneezu naaamba one ato seppuku!!! Samurai spirit!!
Bakachon cannot do!! ha ha ha!!!

Some people set themselves on fire in protest, didn't they?

It's definitely about the "fishing", the water in that location is a gold mine when it comes to the lucrative variety of sea life that live in those waters. Therefore, neither side will ever give in to the other. That being said, because Koreans tend to be a little more sensitive or can get easily agitated(or in this case...both)it's not uncommon that they get medieval on some poor defenseless bird. They will mutilate other animals also, like those dogs head they chopped off in another protest.

Yeah, those whole 7 days between Aug 8th 1945 and Japan's surrender on Aug 15th must have been rough. Although that said, one of the more current WW2 history debates has been focusing on if it was the Soviet entry into the war that pushed the Japanese cabinet/Emperor over the edge to accept the US/Allies term of unconditional surrender instead of the atomic bombs.

Eh? I was under the impression that they just rescued those from the trash can at the local Boshingtang restaurant. I figure after typical buthering they just used the flesh for that boiled and salted meat dish and the organs for the soup, while the head was just waste product... or decoration, perhaps?

Then again, IIRC when it comes to meat Korean cooking tends to waste nothing in preparation. I would hazard a guess that perhaps those heads were already cooked and were actually just being displayed with knives beside them at that particular protest for later snacking? I've seen tables of decapitated pig heads displayed in markets over there in the same manner... Albeit they have this disturbing serene smile frozen on their faces.

[Visitor K]

what i want to know is, why isnt greenpeace doing anything to stop the slaughter of these innocent birds?

Yeah geologists think there's lots of petroleum trapped beneath those ugly rocks. untapped oil, draining the devil's excrement and provoking mass hysteria for $$$

Not just those seven days but the years before when they were fighting the Germans. Germany is not Japan, of course, but they were allies.

My breakfast just flew out the window(no pun intended):puke:
I have also seen those 3 wise pigs, so grossly displayed for the amusement and delight of all the passer byers. Anyway, I'll give up on bacon and eggs this morning and eat oatmeal instead.

carefull on the (B)Poshingtang. There's a lot of bad luck attached to insulting the custom of Rover soup...
