Post your answer in the LEAVE A COMMENT section below. I’m not the boss of you, though. Don’t write anything for all I care! But, frankly, I’d be shocked if you didn’t.
. . .here are my thoughts.
What would you not be shocked to learn?
Admittedly I was a little late to the Squid Game craze. Better late than never, though. The guys in the masks—. That doesn’t narrow it down, does it? I’m referring to the American VIPs arriving to watch the penultimate game. The ones that spout the most forced dialogue I’ve ever heard! Those scenes are, by far, the worst part of an otherwise solid show. They sound as though their lines were penned by Korean writers who speak broken English as their, like, fifth—and worst—language. They likely failed to hire a legit English speaker to write authentic sounding dialogue, believing no American would ever watch their little show. Then Squid Game became the biggest thing out of South Korea since BTS. Now English speakers around the world must suffer through the embarrassment of Americans sounding as though their lines were written for Blue’s Clues or Sesame Street. Probably goes both ways, though. I wouldn’t be shocked to learn that English-language films produced in the States write foreign dialogue that’d make a native of the tongue cringe with annoyance. “Do unto others . . .” would seem to fit the bill here.
I’ve never heard of the Squid Game. I don’t know what BTS is as far as that goes. What I’ve learned about people just on Facebook, I would not be shocked at the number of people who do not believe the Holocaust happened or that what is happening in the Ukraine is not happening. It is the media showing these lies. My father in law was a prisoner of war in Germany during World War II. He would be able to tell you stories and that these things happened and I’m sure are happening again in the Ukraine. This type of mentality frightens me. If we don’t learn from history, it will happen again.
BTS is a male vocal group. Very popular . . . for some unknown reason.
