<-- From Wikipedia's entry on Drawball:
"The Drawball is a large, online, changing graffiti board. The Drawball is one large circular board where you can draw anything you want using a tool on Drawball's homepage.
Drawball has a very large fanbase and is used by people all around the world, especially in South Korea as evidenced by the large flag in the center of the ball. Many internet groups, notably users of GameFAQs , have declared war on the flag, and are doing their best to deface it."
"During the day on March 4 , 2006 , 4chan began an assault on Drawball attempting to change the Korean flag into the Japanese flag. 4chan recruited help from YTMND and other boards. Attempts went well, but YTMND betrayed 4chan and changed the Japanese flag to a Pepsi logo as well as using precious ink to write YTMND on the bottom of the flag. Attacks ended due to the site being down for maintenance. YTMND suceeded and the Pepsi flag is currently reigning. Some minor attacks on several parts of the Pepsi logo have failed."
Ah... my people, there are very few countries that combine 1st world tech with 3rd world, militant nationalism. Post 9-11 America is one, Korea is another. I'm betting the first thing Koreans'll do after unification is to nuke Japan and invade Russia, they'll hafta' wait a bit for China...
The screen caps were taken from a sticky thread in 4chan's /b/ board... the wacked out imageboard that would be great if every other thread wasn't full of "Die, Nigger" speeches or pictures of kittens getting tortured...
And the flag'll be back. Bored nerds vs. krazy Koreans? No contest.
