Man, it's fucked up that North Korea got the Olympics, with all the starvation and shit. Oh well, this will give our reporters an in-depth look at Pyongyang.

lol it begins

It's time to count how many people confuse this with Pyongyang.

It would have been helpful if the title has specified North or South Korea.

IIRC, Korea had the better bid for the 2010 Winter Olympics but we ended up beating them for some reason.

You honestly think North Korea would get to host the Olympics?

 

[Trojita]

I read that as Pyongyang. Thought the Winter Olympics were going to be in BEST Korea

Asians tend to age well. They'll all be under 30, I think.

No I don't, I never said I thought this was Pyongyang, North Korea. But the headline should say South Korea instead of just Korea, as just "Korea" is not the name of either country. It's like saying Michael Jordan went to college in Carolina.

 

[numble]

how corrupt are olympic event hosting competitions compared to FIFA?

The fuck?It's South Korea, not North Korea.
Just because it's not in Europe doesn't mean it's "oh noes corruption".

Uhh....

The country isn't officially called South Korea, though, but the Republic of Korea.

Right, well your title doesn't say Republic of Korea either, or DPRK or Best Korea or Starcraft Korea, it says just Korea.
