For a country of about 50 million people, there are a lot of protests in South Korea. With a national average of 11,000 public protests a year, the average South Korean riot policeman is mobilized to contain 85 demonstrations a year.
While the majority of such protests are probably pretty standard affairs involving marching, shouting, and possibly some violent clashes between protesters and police, there are also some far more interesting protests going on. Here are a few particularly uniquely interesting/crazy South Korean protest photos we’ve stumbled upon:
Throwing Shit: Yes, the man in the photo below is indeed hurling feces in a protest. The man was a member of a group of South Korean cattle farmers, who were enraged that Lotte supermarkets had decided to sell U.S. beef. The newspaper source of this photo, which is worried about being sued under Korean law for harming the reputation of the photo’s subjects, has blurred out their faces:(http://www.who-sucks.com/wp-content/uploads/icons//2007/07/crap-throwing.jpg)
Ripping Apart Pigs: In May 2007, a group who opposed the a government decision to move a military office to Incheon held a protest in which they ripped apart a live two-month-old piglet. South Korean animal rights groups were understandably outraged by the protest:
Ok, now I really do not understand the problem is.
This is a legitimate thread with some really weird and funny protests.
You don't understand why those of us at work might not want a picture of a piglet being torn apart on our screens?

Sorry man, I really didnt think it would be a problem. I'll put a NSFW tag at the top.
The only thing I considered not safe for work was nudity. Would employers really get mad if there was a picture of a pig being like that?

Go ahead and ban me if the only replies I'll ever get are going to be "You are dumb. lol"
This is a legitimate thread that should have produced interesting posts. But instead a few wankers cried because there was a picture of a pig. You know what, from 5 feet a way, I bet an unsuspecting boss wouldn't even know WTF the picture was. It is not like nude pictures that can be recognized across an office as NSFW. Stop all you baby crying and close the damn thread if you dont have anything to offer the thread. Jesus christ you guys are miserable to talk to.

i honestly always think when people call you a fucking distinguished mentally-challenged fellow or something that they're being harsh but you really are incredibly distinguished mentally-challenged.
Go ahead and ban me if the only replies I'll ever get are going to be "You are dumb. lol"You are fucking dumb if you don't understand why people wouldn't want to see pictures of a pig being torn in half. No one is complaining about the other pics.
WTF. All I did was post a link to something I saw on Digg. How is that Ogrish? Are the protesters silly? Yes. i dont get it. What the hell is wrong with you people.Quotei honestly always think when people call you a fucking distinguished mentally-challenged fellow or something that they're being harsh but you really are incredibly distinguished mentally-challenged.
What? Where did this come from?
My insight is that it's fucking hilarious.
