Korea vs. Japan – barrel rolling showdown

A translated clip from a Korean TV show of Japanese and Korean masters of the art of rolling around steel drums face off against each other on a TV show (Korea in blue helmet, Japan in white helmet):

For more barrel rolling feats, check out our March 2008 post about another Japanese master.

This is clearly how we should be settling diplomatic differences. With drum-offs.

I agree. We should try to drum up some support for this idea.

Silly Koreans! Japan is NUMBER 1 at EVERYTHING! Don’t ever forget!

What a bunch of crap. Was it really necessary to make this a nationalistic thing?

It’s clearly a Japanese TV show, not a Korean.

Japanese TV should not feature South Koreans, especially when it also features Japanese. If a Japanese “wins”, it’s a “nationalistic propaganda” and a proof Japanese media is biased. If a South Korean “wins”, it’s a proof Japanese media is controlled by pro-Seoul Dentsu and evil Zainichi Koreans.

So in a nutshell, we should avoid featuring South Koreans. Ever.

The original video is from Korean TV.

It is from that Takeshi Kitano TV show that features world TV shows. Blurring is used to remove the Korean text.

Kind of off-topic: I want to wish all Japan Probe team and readers a Happy New Year 2009. Been a faithful reader since around 2006, you deserve to be the “web’s no. 1 source for Japan-related news and entertainment”, because of your hard work and the always pertinent selection of the topics here.

I don’t know about these alleged ethnic allegiances of Dentsu that I feel weird even talking about – but I can inform you they already control the media

That’s as long as a computerized trader has to take advantage of news before the market knows it, before the news is knowledge and is thus commodified and loses its unique and timely value.
