Korea's new 'public enemy number one'

A recent wave of hysteria has swept Korea. Koreans are marching in the streets, demanding their government do something to end the peril. What could that horrible danger be?

Cigarettes? Something like 30% to 50% of Korean males smoke. Those lead to cancer that kills thousands of Koreans every year.

North Korean nukes? Lil’ Kim is still dragging his feet on the nuclear disarmament that he promised months ago.

Defective Chinese products? After all, poisonous Chinese-made products sickened and killed people in Central America and house pets in America, among other horrors. And China’s ‘yellow dust’ besmirches the skies above Korean cities on a practically daily basis nowadays, making even more Koreans sick.

Islamic terrorists? Just last year, a group of jihadists in Afghanistan kidnapped a number of Korean humanitarian workers, murdering two of them before accepting a hefty ransom from the Korean government.

The answer is ‘none of the above’. You see, Koreans aren’t at all concerned about any of that. What really ticks them off is…imported beef. Specifically US-grown beef.
