Korean Laws

A recent Korean law has been approved by president 이명박 to alleviate pressure placed on him by the recent FTA agreement reached with the USA which has sparked massive protests over beef imports. In order for Koreans to get their aggression out of their system, Thursday has been officially renamed "미친놈 운전하는 날" or "drive like an asshole day". All problem driving is requesed to be limited to Thursday, and drive like a normal human being for the rest of the week. Some of the rules are as follows;

1. All buses are based on race technology, and should be driven as if they were a super sports car.
2. The use of turn signals is banned.
3. Driving on the sidewalk is permitted until 6pm, or until you have killed 3 pedestrians.
4. Motorcycles do not exist. If you see one, ignore it completely. If you happen to hit one, it was probably their fault anyways.
5. If you drive a motorcycle, you must do so without the use of safety gear, and be driven while smoking a cigarette, talking on the phone, carrying a delivery box and weaving through traffic. Or just be as cool as this guy.
6. Every few minutes, you must make sudden unexpected lane changes for no reason.
7. You must drive as slowly as possible in the left lane (unless you are a bus/sports car).
8. Honking at everything is required.

The president has initiated this law with his popularity plummeting with the recent bird flu outbreak and mad cow scare. He is hoping this will generate the same favorable media attention as some of his previous laws. Since taking office at the start of the year, President Lee has taken initiative in school reform, stating that Middle School students must now go to school until midnight, figuring that High School students have to do it, so if Middle School students are forced to as well, the Korean education system has to improve by brute force. Also, taking side against foreigners, since that is always popular, it was made official during the Olympic torch relay that any foreigner throwing kimchi at the torch bearer was to be instantly deported.

His canal plans have had reactions similar to the FTA, as people suddenly realized that building a canal lengthwise through a peninsula was a really stupid idea.
