G4TV Goes To The DMZ

Morgan Webb of G4TV took a little trip up to the DMZ. Only the clip is available and it doens't explain why the video game/pop culture channel wanted to check it out, but it's a pretty cool video and worth taking 3 minutes of your precious day to watch.

My observations and nitpicking:

Now, I haven't been to the DMZ yet, but plan on going in the next couple months. Only one of these observations applies to actually being there. The US Army office says the position the South Korean troops stand in is meant to be intimidating. Take a look at it closely. It appears more ... ummm .. I don't know ... homo?

Webb loses some credibility for saying she needs some Soju at the end of the video. It's not because she shouldn't talk about alcohol while reporting. It's because Soju is terrible. She, therefore, has unreliable taste.

Last thing is her pronunciation of Pyeongyang while discussing the train station. If you're ever in Korea, and want to sound like a dummy, pronounce it the same way.

Anyway, check out the vid!
