So, I have a few TV channels that are in english, but for the most part I watch Discovery Channel like I'm getting paid to do it...which would be the same as if I were living in America. But Korean TV is really weird because instead of having commercials every 7 minutes or so, they basically play the whole program and then have 15 minutes straight of purely Korean commercials and they play them over and over again. This week, I taught a total of three classes either because I was sick or my classes got cancelled so I had a TON of time to lesson plan...which was great because I really did get a lot done but at about 11am everyday I hit a lesson-planning wall and ended up watching youtube or frying my brain with facebook. So, I decided to share one commercial that I probably see 80 million times a week. No exaggeration. Sometimes I even wake up with this song in my head. It's pretty stinkin goofy and kind of catchy though...I might try to replicate it one of these days when I'm really bored:)
The past 2 out of 3 nights I've also dreamt that I was the Biggest Loser. Good news is I woke up feeling like a million bucks. Bad news is I think this is a sign that I watch too much TV. I don't really care though because I take pride in the fact that one of my best friends and I have repeatedly watched entire seasons of LOST and 24 in one sitting. We've been called pathetic on multiple occasions but we press on. And I feel like I need to uphold my end of that talent, even if I'm in Korea. It's like when a person is blessed with incredible athletic abilities, it would be silly for them not to play sports right? Totally.
In that commercial, what are they trying to sell?
ReplyDeleteit's called "won cashing" so its basically like a payday loan place...i think...
ReplyDeleteash that's pathetic of you and your friend watching entire seasons of tv shows...

ReplyDeleteAsh, you and Beth can be the 2 ladies dancing and then you can do the leg thing at the end!! I'd pay money to see it. Recreate it when Beth and Hannah come over to visit.
