The PSY scandal: singing about killing people v. constantly doing it
Americans would benefit from less outrage at anti-US sentiment and more energy toward understanding why it's so widespread
I have not read any complaints about Psy's supposed anti-American lyrics on Facebook. Who has been critical? People in mass media? He's performed on Sabado Gigante and is scheduled to sing for President Obama.
Do non-Koreans have any greater respect for Korean culture after embracing "Gangnam Style"? It seems like appreciation of the song will be a passing fad. Anyway, I think that those who enjoy the song probably do not care; it's not as if they originally started listening to the song because they thought he was 100% pro-America. Are some protesting his being invited to sing for Obama? If we had an anti-imperialism president who would apologize for past American policies, maybe things would be balanced out. But Obama can't make such an apology since he is still promoting the American Empire.
