"Korean Netizens Attack Dog-Shit Girl," said the headline from Don Park's Daily Habit, and the synopsis is: fashionable young woman refuses to "curb" her pooch, mobloggers post photographic evidence, and an internet-based lynch mob tracks her down and harasses her. This story was, supposedly, all over the Korean blogverse a few days ago.
The reaction from Americans seems to be mostly privacy-oriented (apparently the subway cars in internet-savvy Korea are overflowing with mobloggers), but seriously. You know what's much more appalling than trying to pick up dog diarrhea? Making an old person have to stoop on a moving subway car to clean up a mess that isn't even their fault. And you know what's more important than snapping a photo of someone who refused to pick up their dog's diarrhea? Helping clean it up so the old person doesn't have to.
