Koreans are totally fascinated by poo; piles of poo; poo coming out of anuses; anuses, and flies flying around and eating poo. Pretty much anything gross and related to that subject.
My personal favorite, which I was treated to a repeated viewing of last night, is the bidet commmercial. Since bidets are related to the favorite subject, they are very popular. My commercial shows people of all ages having WAY too enjoyable of a time with this device. The looks on their faces, as they sit on the toilet seat and turn on the bidet squirter, are at once repulsive and riviting at the same time.
Then comes my super-duper-favorite part: These very beautiful and classy Korean ladies begin talking about how wonderful it is (as if they were chatting about something as benign as their microwave) and then. . . one of them makes a fist and shows the side that looks like an anus to the camera and then the other lady wipes a copious amount of a pea-green watery paste on the area, spreads it around and makes sure that the camera gets a really good close-up. I think you can all guess that this is to simulate poo (which is always pea-green right?!) Then, the piece de resistance. . . they turn on the high powered bidet action on the toilet seat and clean it off, afterwards showing the camera the cleaned side of her fist! Finito!
So, thats what I do for fun. I sit around and watch freaky Korean commercials. But, it gets worse. Last night as I was giggling gleefully through this commercial (it lasts about 15 minutes) it occurred to me that maybe I needed one. I'm telling you, if I could speak Korean well enough, I would have picked up my cel phone and ordered that toilet-seat-attaching-bidet in the time it takes me to say, What have I done? the next moring when I realize that I bought a crazy contraption off an infomercial. Thank god for language barriers, otherwise I would be the proud owner of a $69 bidet! ------Jess
