MORE EFFECTIVE THAN IT LOOKS


Here was the 'Asian English' find of a lifetime. Apparently the word for 'staple' in Korean is pronounced 'hipi', sometimes spelled in this delightful way. How does it remove hippies? Just look at the bottom of the package.

    Yeah, my home country wants to get rid of hippies in its territory. More weirdly, the Korean letters next to 'Hippie' spells 'Hippie forever' in the way it's pronounced - or at least the way it's thought so - in Korean.
