Psy is cool. He got America to love a song with foreign lyrics.
(like Kyo Sakamoto's Suykioki and The Singing Nun's Dominique.)
It's as if Bandstand were back.

And there is Conan in the background.

Never mind that half the B.S. about Psy isn't even true (he didn't write that song, the lyric wasn't translated accurately, he isn't nominated for a Grammy, etc. etc.). Nor did they report that Psy was, at the time, a troubled young man who later turned his life around to become a family man known for his kindness and generosity.

Then again, we can't expect the world's media to report things accurately, can we?

When Republicans DO terrible things, it's called a "youthful indiscretion." When someone who's anti-war merely SAYS terrible things, he's a horrible person who never deserves forgiveness.
