Picture of the Day: Dokdo Billboard Goes Up In Los Angeles

“]”A large billboard about the Dokdo islets is displayed on Highway 60 near Los Angeles in the United States. The billboard reads “Dokdo Island Belongs to KOREA” along with the photo of the islets. Alex Cho, 50, a Korean-American, was contracted to run the advertisement for two months starting Jan. 25. After a blogger took photos of the billboard and posted them on a Korean Web site recently, the photos attracted a lot of clicks. [YONHAP]

ROK Drop readers may remember that another Dokdo billboard was put up a year ago in Dallas as well.

    So when are all the Korean spas and massage parlors in the Bible Belt going to have these things up?

    …and what about the stateside Dunkin Donuts? Or should I say Dokdo Donuts?

    It should read:

    Dokdo Island

    Belongs to Korea…

    But no one besides Koreans care!

    I mean honestly, why is this kind of shit allowed?

    It's also hard to get Americans to care especially when they first see the word "Korea" without a qualifier as to which country is being referred to. Most automatically think it has something to do with the l'il dud's empire to the north and definitely won't give it a second thought.

    Hans island is Canadian land! Don't listen to the theiving bastards from Denmark!

    I'm putting together the Hans Riders to ride scooters across South Korean to bring attention to this IMPORTANT issue. We won't be chopping off our fingers, but we will be giving up marijuana for the entire event (that's like almost 3 days, eh?). Please support us by boycotting Danish products (mostly just Carlsberg beer and those sugar cookies that come in the big tins).

    …and what of the Spratly Islands, holy crap! It's a 7 way battle royale between: China, Vietnam, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia (truly Asia), Philippines and Brunei! I haven't seen a single billboard or heard of any finger cutting. Not even a homicide bomber (considering some of the players). :sad:

    This billboard was extremely helpful. All this time I thought Takeshima (oops, dokdo) belonged to Japan. I even told the staff from the local Obama campaign office in 08 that Dokdo belonged to Japan. I can only pray the president was not affected by my foolish decision.

    Andre the Giant has spoken and China owns them now. They never did in the stolen history they make up but after they sank several Vietnamese ships and put a permanent military base on one of the daily submersed atolls all real negotiation ended.

    Funk you all!

    Dok-do belongs to me.

    I'm gonna watch The Man With the Golden Gun once more and then I'm setting up a Lair.

    …well… uh… as soon as I perfect a working death ray, that is.

    Ho, ho! Then the world will PAY!

    Muah hah hah hah hah hah haaaaah.

    CH: you can get the midget from Toko-ri to be your Nick Nack. One thing though, while we have met in the past, I'm not sure you possess the requisite number of nipples to qualify as Francisco Scaramanga.

    Is the midget still in Toka-ri?

    "Is the midget still in Toka-ri?"

    By now, she has to be the Gollum of Toka-ri. She was old news up there 10 years ago.

    I've had some very short girls in SE Asia… but never a real midget or dwarf… wonder what that's like. I can't imagine one that services GIs for the novelty of it all it the best one to start with.

    Anybody here have some Midget of Toka-ri stories? Anyone have a picture?

    How about a new billboard that says,

    "Many Midgets on Dokdo Island"

    "So what kind of campaigning are Japanese doing about the Liancourt Rocks?"

    Absolutely nothing.
