Even if it's his second language, I think Salsa writes english a lot better than many actual American/British Gaffers.
At least he doesn't say "could of"

this 1000000 times.

"Could of" is like nails on a chalkboard.

Just horrible.

 

[Flame Lord]

Reminds me of those paper airplane yugioh cards.

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

Damn you.

You wait til the day after Halloween.

This would have been great!

 

[Majine]

It should've done the Gangnam dance.

 

[Dead Man]

Wow, that's really something.

 

[MWS Natural]

DAT TBC?

 

[Yen]

 

[Shogmaster]

It's original title was "Man preparing to goatse".

 

[Clydefrog]

is it hollow or is there something inside?

 

[Perspicacity]

I don't understand the shapeless penis lump, why not just make him Ken doll smooth if they didn't feel like sculpting a proper cock?

I found this on CNN:

The naked blue man is nearly 20 feet tall and weighs three tons. It was donated by South Korean artist Yoo Young-ho, who has already built one "Greetingman" in his home country. Yoo's goal is to put up 1,000 of them across the globe as a way to link other cultures and people.

THE HORROR! They're being mass-produced!
Artist's site: http://www.greetingman.com/intro.html

$250,000,000 ? (250k * 1000)

Seems steep compared to how a quarter million dollars could otherwise be spent. Times a thousand.

Salsa's English is not only great, I'm always puzzled (As a South Ametican) how he's so knowledgable and in tune with North American pop culture. Do they have HBO, AMC, Showtime and all the other network tv stations down in Uruguay or something? No one cares for the Spanish pop singers? They listen to the Crap that's produced in the US? I always thought you were a US born, (half) Uruguayan Salsa.


Back on topic, so each one of these costs a quarter of a mill? And "The artist" is planning to install a thousand of them around the world? Are you shitting me?

There are others like him around here.
Salsa, is that La Rambla? I must visit Montevideo again sometime...

 

[Kinyou]

Oh you southamericans have so big penis. We have so small penis
We could never overtake your country

 

[Soul Beat]

That statue just begs to be graffiti'd.

Does it not have a little plate describing what it's supposed to be?

 

[Az987]

Oh wow.

Is it really cold in Uruguay or something?

 

[Nibel]

Yo GAF

An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. Salsa is my man, he should be your man and our dads' man.

GAF vs South Korea is about to get real

 

[EvilMario]

Clearly a grower, not a shower.

 

[Tangeroo]

So when will the statue be erect?

 

[.la1n]

Um Salsa, I just want to say sorry...hope you enjoy the statue.

I love movies and I love games, a lot of them come from over there, what can I say.

We do get some of the tv stations but I dont even own a tv for cable purposes, I hate watching tv.

and browsing the internet is a big part of it as well. I do care, listen and watch a ton of latin american stuff, of course, it's just that you dont see me comment on it in here because what would be the point? it's clearly not the place

Salsa, is that La Rambla? I must visit Montevideo again sometime...

indeed.

I dont necesarelly think the statue is AWFUL. I just dont like it's placement. Not only because you know.. my house, but also cause it kinda ruins one of the better vistas we have. You cant look at the beach without looking at blue ass

 

[Lonely1]

Start a campaign for Uruguayan recognition of Best Korea as the only legitimate Government of the Korean Peninsula. Is the only choice you have now.

 

[bbagwell]

Hope you are renting, because the property value just took a turd for the worse.

 

[JakOfTheShadows]

Are you allowed to dress it up for holidays?

 

[Alucrid]

I was the model for this

 

[Barbacoatl]

At least it's not wearing crocs.

Terrifying.

 

[Minamu]

fight!

 

[ronito]

Obviously it depicts a grower.

It's Korean.

 

[LQX]

Bow dong

 

[Sielys]

Did they at least include a receipt, so you can return it?

 

[AlexBasch]

oh man

how did no one point this out

English isnt my first language. Can a mod fix it? im embarrased

Nope, enjoy your new tag because you don't know English. Now you'll sit through millions of hours of "Inglés sin Barreras".

I'm pretty sure there's no restriction in the HOA bylaws against naked Korean statues in the front yard. I want one.

 

[diffusionx]

That's amazing.

GAF vs South Korea is about to get real

*Salute*

 

[Log4Girlz]

Kenya should work on gifting a statue to spain...I wonder how it would differ.

 

[TabrisRyu]

I have to go see that statue someday

Spoiler

Salsa, I know where you live now

 

[CorvoSol]

Hahaha, South Korea paid 250 million dollars to moon Salsashark every day for the rest of his life.

Perfect.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Oh boy. I won't say it's a waste of money, but I have to admit, that is a silly statue.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

I don't talk to Salsa much, but all his posts I come across show a comfort with the language that other ESL students don't have.

We're going to jump on him for 'embacy' when the North Americans here can't get 'your' vs 'you're' right and don't know how to use 'there', 'they're', and 'their'?

<3 Salsa!

 

[Stabby McSter]

wooowowowwwoowww where's the NSFW tag nomg

Spoiler

giggle

 

[AlimNassor]

Wait, i thought it was spelled Embacy...

 

[Zizbuka]

So the issue is every time you leave your house you have a boner?

bumping this because some film school friends were bored and welp:

All statues should be animatronics

 

[Fusion Pizza]

Oh man salsa, that's hilarious/unfortunate.

Should throw some dirt/mud on the butt so it looks like it shit itself.

 

[FO-totality]

Apparently it was a gift from Korea. Sculpture costed 250 thousand dollars and now this is my view each time I leave the house:

why

That is one ugly statue. What an abomination.

 

[triplestation]
