I don't understand Korean, so I can't really be sure, but this afternoon Korean KBS-2 (part of our rich array of viewing choices here in China) carried what seemed to be either a dating program, or a College Bowl-type contest, between teams dressed in what looked for all the world like Harvard and Yale "Oldest Living Alum"-type blazers. It was as if we were at the Henley Royal Regatta or something. Life is strange.

Judge for yourself.
