Dok-D'oh!


Dokdo is a heap of pumpkin seed islands, each no bigger than a baseball diamond. Korea and Japan both claim Dokdo as their own. The Japanese call it Takeshima, and others call it The Liancourt Rocks. Dokdo has become a focal point for unproductive Korean nationalism/anti-Japanese vitriol. I've seen small kids wearing shirts featuring the ever political Snoopy, proclaiming that Dokdo is Korean. Parents will teach their 5-year children to hate Japan, before teaching them other important lessons, such as 'don't eat snot'.
So the owner of this bike decides to slap a trendy "Dokdo is Korean territory" decal on his bike, so passers-by can presumably look at it and shout 'Yeah, what he said!'. Fair enough. Then, the rocket surgeon also decides to put a Mitsubishi decal on the gas tank (it's not a Mitsubishi bike). Way to go, retard.
