keltoi Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 sad thing is that it probably wasn't a 14 year old work experience kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soloman Tump Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 sad thing is that it probably wasn't a 14 year old work experience kid. It was either complete ignorance, or someone wanting the lols Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jasondonervan Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Absolutely amazing. I don't think anyone could make it up. http://www.bbc.co.uk...otland-18991619 Couldn't help but think of this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRRw1ERj2Gc Speaking after the match, North Korea's coach Sin Ui Gun said: "Our team was not going to participate unless the problem was solved properly. "Unfortunately it took some time later for the broadcast to be done again properly and we made the decision to go on with the match." He added: "Our players cannot be shown especially with other flags, especially the South Korean one. "If this matter had not been solved, continuing would have been a nonsense."

baph Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 i bet whatever 14 year old work experience kid they got to do the flag + photo graphics never even knew there was a north and south korea. Probably the same kid who selected the apartheid-era South African national anthem at the London Cup in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jasondonervan Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 In today's paper... quick work! (Although a South Korean friend of mine tells me the word order is wrong, she says 'Specsavers' should be first): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spratters Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 It's not the first time things have got a little mixed up: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newsvideo/weirdnewsvideo/9163577/Borat-spoof-Kazakhstan-anthem-played-by-mistake.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roksen Creek Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Ha, that Specsavers joke is just like the Arabic signs in Westfield, the wrong way round. Can't even get the jokes right, unless they are being extra clever. Anyone watching the Olympic countdown? It's a shambles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCM Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 i guess they put specsavers at the end so people would realise the korean writing says "should've gone to [specsavers]" - if they put it at the beginning, UK people might not have got it i suppose.

danshoebridge Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 they played fuck buttons THANK YOU - couldn't place it for the life of me... strange to hear old underworld b-sides blasted out too. Damn my life has changed since i was last listening to them in some sweaty Manchester club somewhere. Hopefully fuck buttons can advertise as 'opening music from London 2012 Olympic games' now.
