[ABoredPerson70]

Yes, Go South Korea!!

Haters gonna hate.

[melonsushipan]

beware people. kim jong il will not gonna be happy about this.

[WeissVogel]

@melonsushipan what do you expect from him? the IOC shunned Pyongyang's offer of a joint hosting. I mean, how the hell he can want one when he couldn't feed his own people well and act like a spoiled brat at the six-party talks?

[jxtsful]

Congrats Korea... from Canada! Let the fucking haters cry. We will rejoice!!!

[89wheelz89]

cograts to s. korea

[blahk04]

Nice, finally someone in Asia besides Japan is accomplishing things.

[kkksskkk]

@blahk04 Samsung and LG are both Korean companies, Daewoo used to be Korean until it was bought out by GM. Hyundai is Korean, Kia is Korean. Also, regardless of which brand, most products in the world including parts in iphones and ipods(which are usually Samsung designed) are manufactured in China. Japan just makes decent cars. Also, Korea did host Summer Olympics in 1988 and co-hosted World Cup with Japan not long ago.

[kkksskkk]

@blahk04 If you can't remember what happend in as recently as 2008, you probably shouldn't even be talking on the internet. ---- That is China hosted Summer Olympics.

[blahk04]

@kkksskkk I'm not the least bit impressed by anything China does. Over 1 billion people and all they learned how to do so far is copy other nations' technology. They haven't even figured out that communism is a bad idea yet. China probably has a bright future, but for now, nothing special, besides giant population.

[kkksskkk]

@blahk04 As far as copying goes, that is done by smaller illegal operations, not by huge corporations. Plus, everything is a copy of something in the these days. China is quite open right now, it's not even considered a communist country anymore. It is slowly transitioning to full on democracy(or hopefully federalism, a country of that size can only be controlled successfully through federalism), you can't rush that kind of change. Also, without China, everything would be much more expensive.

[fourzones]

@blahk04 so you say, why this country lend your country(USA) a lot of money it's now usa's biggest creditor even if its special it's your important creditor, just bear that in mind

[fourzones]

Respond to this video...  i made a mistake, i meant to say even if its not special

[s612h]

Congratz to Korea!!!

[jchic32]

Congrats Korea!!! I am happy for you...look at how happy the people are..stop hating on here and be happy for them..wow..

[floatingcompassmedia]

As long as they aren't in Canada, cause I hate having to act like I give a shit.

[beastlyshins]

Frig, all the hockey games will be at like 4 am in Canada!

[johnbsk]

Jacques Rogge hates America. He needs to resign or get out of his position, IOC, so America has better chance to win winter olympic bid.

[lilice1907]

who were the other candidates?

[Demoesceptico]

@lilice1907

- Annecy, France.

- Munich, Germany.

[yyttroll]

Wrong decision! The name of the city is really complicated to pronounce!

[nypchung]

@yyttroll then learn how to pronounce it. you have 7 years.

[yyttroll]

@nypchung It will be boycotted. Fuck off.

[nypchung]

@yyttroll -- a troll indeed.

[yyttroll]

@nypchung get lost in North Korea!

[MrBlackguy28]

@yyttroll its basically prounaced PAYOUNG CHANG it's not that hard and thats not the correct spelling it the prouncaciation speilling is PYEONGCHANG

[yyttroll]

@MrBlackguy28 I don't care... I prefer Sochi, it's shorter...

[jjangchoo]

@MrBlackguy28 it's not payoung - there's no "a" just connect the p and the y

[creaturelover]

@yyttroll whats wrong with learning how pronounce a new place?

[kkksskkk]

@creaturelover I think he was just making a joke.

[IamYoddle]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­.. I want it in N.Korea, now that would be interesting.

[kissmybuttdimple]

DODGING NORTH KOREAN TORPEDOES has just been announced an olympic event.

[shithappens1818]

@kissmybuttdimple now u know u wrong! lol

[kissmybuttdimple]

@shithappens1818 YES... YES... I KNOW... it's more than a bit much .... i know it's several years away... but i just can't imagine north korea letting this happen. honestly.... they will go 10nth degree bat-shit to prevent this.

[shithappens1818]

@kissmybuttdimple I agree with u. North K is going to make the games more interesting! Imagine the constant delays.

[kkksskkk]

@shithappens1818 North Korea does participate in Olympics too. Plus, I think their view of Korea is changing. They are probably proud that their brothers are hosting an international event.

[creaturelover]

@kissmybuttdimple It is in South Korea, not North Korea. Two different countries.
