Emotional Masks (or a nervous laugh)

You could also say it as "putting on a happy face" but it happens plenty over here as well.

I found a great group of images that were taken within a moment of each other. The girl on the right is Yuna Kim figure skater as she and the other Olympians returned to Seoul.

It appears these images were taken after the Culture Minister tried to hug Yuna unsuccessfully. And if it's worth looking through tons of images you can see he's trying to hug everyone.

Someone took the original video from the event and edited it in such a way where it looked like he was trying to molest the medal winner (and no, I can't find that video).

It now it gets even better. The government has filed defamation charges against the uploader of the edited video.

It's reasons like this that Reporters Without Borders has added South Korea to their Under Surveillance list; a sub group under the Enemies of the Internet.

Oscars

Despite finding a television complete with remote and rabbit ears, we have yet to hook it up. Even if we did I doubt we would be able to see the Oscars and it would be when I would leave for work.

So with that in mind, I waited around 18 hours after the ceremony, checked my favorite Chinese website, and got download links for the whole program including red carpet talks and after party stuff. The site also said which movies had won awards and then provided links for those movies to be downloaded as well. Ah the power of the internet.
