Those that live in Korea probably heard this to death, but this tune seems to be getting a lot of popularity lately around the world. It's close to the top of the charts.

It's catchy, but it also seems like trying to dance while riding a horse...

what do you think of it?:

Well I guess we now have a gauge of how behind the times, Portugal is.

That video is all about Psy mocking Koreans who are money and status obsessed, personified by the Gangnam crowd. 
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.

I love that video. Especially Hyuna.

In other news, our Portuguese corespondent reports that Obama is the new president of the US.

It's already been number 1 in the UK charts. Here's our typically British response  :bowler:

Yeah, it's been around a bit. It's normally not my type of music, but for some reason I like it, and the video is pretty funny. Plenty of parodies by now, of course (Kim Jong style, Deadpool etc.).

Incidentally, we just learned that one of our new female colleagues was still unaware of the song, so we indoctrinated her 5 minutes ago. She's not Portuguese, though.

It is bizzare how it has took off in so many countries. Just out of nowhere, random.

Welcome to the Internet Age.  Looks like Portugal isn't the only place behind the times.   :P

Jusst found this new social media site "Facebook".  Name seems kind of bland, anyone try it?  Is it worth switching from myspace?
