[citation][nom]obsama1[/nom]There's nothing wrong with milliard. It's used in French and German, and British English, but rarely.[/citation]
Yes, and the United States still uses Miles and Inches. Like I said, antiquated systems are no longer appropriate.

Maybe now we can hide Justin Bieber under the carpet, permanently.

No longer a fan. He didn't even really apologize for his ant-American songs of the past. Just commented on it. Only after he made millions off the very nation he previously criticized.

The last random quote by the Korean hairstylist was pretty random and not necessary at all especially the last bit about Japanese not wanting to admit to listening to Gangnam.

That number would be an order of magnitude lower if browsers could cache youtube videos.

Just watched it - and it's one of the best music videos EVER! In my opinion, of course.

[citation][nom]shikamaru31789[/nom]I can't honestly say I like this song or PSY for that matter, especially not after all that anti-American stuff he did got dredged up. I purposefully never watched the original, only a few parodies of it and videos of people getting hurt dancing to it on Break and stuff, just so I wouldn't contribute to this "achievement", I've never watched Bieber's Baby either for the same reason. I can think of some other viral videos on Youtube that deserved this achievement more.[/citation]

PSY did apologize:

"As a proud South Korean who was educated in the United States and lived there for a very significant part of my life, I understand the sacrifices American servicemen and women have made to protect freedom and democracy in my country and around the world. The song I was featured in -- from eight years ago -- was part of a deeply emotional reaction to the war in Iraq and the killing of two innocent Korean civilians that was part of the overall antiwar sentiment shared by others around the world at that time," the statement read. "While I'm grateful for the freedom to express one's self I've learned there are limits to what language is appropriate and I'm deeply sorry for how these lyrics could be interpreted. I will forever be sorry for any pain I have caused anyone by those words."

"I have been honored to perform in front of American soldiers in recent months — including an appearance on the Jay Leno show specifically for them — and I hope they and all Americans can accept my apology," the statement concluded. "While it's important we express our opinions, I deeply regret the inflammatory and inappropriate language I used to do so. In my music I try to give people a release, a reason to smile. I have learned that though music, our universal language we can all come together as a culture of humanity and I hope that you will accept my apology."

I get it; there are certainly things I've said in my life I very much wish I could take back.

Good for Psy! Catchy tune!

 

[mrdowntownkiller]

after listening to it like 100 times , still hear it as a condom style

 

[acerace]

Shitty music. Shitty video.

 

[knowom]

It's funny because it's opposite of how Asian people are generally portrayed as acting and behaving which is normally polite, reserved, and well mannered, but in the video the Korean acts more like a exaggerated and cocky American which is hilarious given the context additionally music itself that accompanies it is fairly likeable in it's own right.
