10 Things I'll Never Write A List About In Korea Something Something Noob
What the fuck is with all of the lists lately?
Seriously.
When did the internet become a place for people to write lists about shit? Are attention spans now at the point where if there isn't a snappy headline and a list of things then we can't be fucked trying to read it? I wager they are. So...here is my list...with accompanying pictures so that you understand stuff.
10. I'll never write a list about food in Korea.
Seriously. I won't write a list about the food here. Korean food is food...in Korea. I'm not going to get all hepped up and write a list about that.
*kimchi...I'm not writing a list about it.
9. I'll never write a list about people who do things that shit me.
Fuck those clowns. Why would I write a list about them and the 134 different ways that they shit me. Whether it's spitting, taking up my personal space on the subway or being otherwise different and near me...I'm not writing a fucking list about it.
8. I'll never write a list about people who do things that I don't want to do.
Of course I'd rather watch an obese pig suck its own cock than go to the mud festival or any one of the 3,234 other fucked up events that your average expat adventurer wants to go to every single weekend...but who gives a fuck about what I think? I'm not gonna go and write a list about it.
7. I'll never write a list about K-Pop and the people who like it.
I know. I'm supposed to write some sort of list about K-Pop. I'm supposed to be all judgemental and superior about it. This is the stage of the list where I can start to get into gear and slag shit off to the point where you ken that the top five are going to be beyond awesome.
Something something Psy. Blah blah Lee Hyori.
This is also the bit where you realise that all that I know about K-Pop comes from my first year in Korea...and Psy.
6. I'll never write a list where you get to number 5 or six and you just get a quick one liner and a photo because people can tell that you've kind of used your first few decent ideas on 7, 8, 9, and 10, but you're holding onto what's left for 1, 2, and 3.
Ummm....photo of a cute Jindo puppy!
5. I'll never write a list about Michael Aronson!
4. I'll never write a list about plastic surgery.
I'd like to. There's no more obvious way for people to vent their semi-racist rage against Korea than to complain about plastic surgery. Whether it's the guy who has been knocked back one too many times who wants to sink the boot in, or the insecure lass who just hopes that someone will love her in spite of her looks...there's no easier target than Koreans and plastic surgery! It's the ever present go to for all of your dis-enfranchised masses! I often wish that I didn't love Korea, just so that I could sink the boot in like every other unwashed bag of toss.
*invariably they place this gif on their rant as 'evidence', when all that it really proves is that the guy who photoshopped all of those photos isn't what I'd call 'creative'.
3. I'll never, ever, ever write a list and then post it to Every Expat In Korea.
Seriously. That group is brutal. Even if you write something that they love they'll still call you a cunt just because you're not wearing a tinfoil hat and slagging off Jeju. It's out of control. I'd sooner tattoo a list on my arse than let those mouth breathing conspiracy nuts claim that my blog never took down 9/11 on the moon.
2. I'll never write a list about all of the ways that I'm doing living in Korea better than everyone else.
If I wanted to slag off newbies, people who marry Koreans, Koreans, expats, monks, mud festivals, K-pop, Eat Your Kimchi, unicorns, or any one of the other things that seem to shit people every fucking day...well...I wouldn't write a list about it. No fucking chance. I'd assume that the geniuses who read my blog would want something a little more substantial than a list.
I'd probably just knit them all cock warmers.
1. I will never write a list where I re-heat one shit joke 10 times over just in the hope that my click-baity list title will get people riled and clicking.
Now that I've written a list, I understand why they do it. You don't need a whole idea...just 10 parts of an idea. You throw them together...try to be controversial...and then bam! Hit city! I blame buzzfeed.
Fuck buzzfeed.
Now for my next post...10 things that make me want to shove buzzfeed up its own bottom...
