I'm also told a reasonable number of the comment responses left at some of those sites bear out my argument that most of the commenters are missing what the Koreans involved think is the point, which is more to do with pragmatic and political concerns and less to do with manipulation of kids, anti-Americanism, and horror stories sent by text-message. Mind you, I haven't read the comments, or tried, and the person who told me happened to agree with me. I'm not sure how much confirmation bias is involved. Weirdly, the site wasn't displaying all of a sudden, after I linked it from your site. Yeah, I was told the same thing just a few minutes ago.

Not the first time, either. Guess I should be thankful --- I'd hate to translate all that stuff for free. Actually, that post and comment thread was translated and posted at several Korean sites.
