    That looks cool, I won't be in to see it either unfortunately. I think the article probably has the most important bits in it anyway.

    Was it any good? or did it basically sensationalise what was in the article above. Did anyone get a chance to see it?

    It was a good show, and nothing like the webpage mentions.

    A lot of famous speakers there (and claire short).

    I would recommend seeing it.

    did anyone find it strange that South Korea thought America was more dangerous than North Korea?

    I think South Korea is more p!ssed off about the two girls being run over, which would effect thier poll.

    Also while a lot of the older folk would remember the NK war, the younger folk wouldn't. All they see is the US military in thier country.

    The funny parts I thought were...

    1. Claire Short getting caught on camera. Anyone know what she was saying? Looked like she was calling the guy a bastard. She was pretty annoying.

    2. The three Americans there were funny as well, and good to show totally different feelings from different Americans. No idea which was liberal/democrat. But one of them said the poll results was intresting, the other said it was Bullsh!t and the last guy said "While these polls may reflect what the public say, people in power (government) don't have to do what the people want" (sic). I cracked up laughing when he said that, and you could see when he was asked to repeat it he knew he put his foot in it.

    3. The Brazillian guy was funny with his switching cameras. He also rambled on at one stage about magical fantasy worlds. I got the impression he was saying the people in Brazil who voted negatively were delusional.

    It was intresting to see that Canada actually don't have high feelings towards the US (I think the French faired better).
