Too bad, to actually get deported and green card revoked you have to commit a felony, which he hasn't done so far, even the DUI/vandalism charges still misdemeanor. U.S justice system strikes again!

Just let us borrow it. Can we apply for a change of venue?

Unless it's a crime of violence then it won't hurt him much but it does paint a definitive pattern of behavior to get the ball rolling on it. Need him to be more of a "Fuck 'Murica!" person. Hopefully with this petition it'll cause him to come out of character to respond to it. Need to sic the masses of 4chan on him to provoke a response.

South Korea's online trend: Paying to watch a pretty girl eat

In increasingly virtual South Korea, the latest bizarre fad is watching someone eat online.

Called 'muk-bang' in Korean, which translates to 'eating rooms,' online channels live-stream people eating enormous servings of food while chatting away to those who are watching.

The queen of this particular phenomenon is the Diva, a waifish, pretty 33-year-old woman apparently blessed with the stomach capacity of several elephants and the metabolism of a hummingbird.

Every evening around 8 p.m, several thousand viewers tune in to watch The Diva -- real name Park Seo-Yeon -- begin inhaling enough food for several college linebackers.

She easily polishes off four large pizzas or three kilograms (6 lb) of beef in one sitting, albeit over the span of several hours.

After she eats, she spends another two or three hours just talking to her fans, who communicate with her via a chat room which accompanies her live-stream channel.

For Park, online eating is not just a niche hobby but a significant source of income — she makes up to ₩10 million ($9,300) a month from her broadcasts alone.

Her costs are also high, however. She says she spends an average of $3,000 per month purchasing food for her show, which she broadcasts for about four to six hours per night.

Thanks to the live chat room that accompanies her channel, feedback is instantaneous and the show interactive.

Comments flood in and she reads from them in real time.

"My fans tell me that they really love watching me eat because I do so with so much gusto and make everything look so delicious," says Park.

"A lot of my viewers are on diets and they say they live vicariously through me, or they are hospital patients who only have access to hospital food so they also watch my broadcasts to see me eat."

"Fans who are on a diet say that they like eating vicariously through me," says Park.

While it would seem that her metabolism would make her public enemy number one, some of the Diva's biggest fans are women, and indeed her channel is more popular with women than with men, with a 60-40 ratio.

"One of the best comments I ever received from a viewer who said that she had gotten over her anorexia by watching me eat," says Park. "That really meant a lot to me."

She cooks about a third of the food that she eats, and the rest she has delivered. Offers of sponsorship have come in thick and fast, but she says she tests out sponsored food first and only features what she truly likes and wants to share.

Her fans show their appreciation by sending her money, in the form of virtual tokens that can be cashed in.

Afreeca TV, the publicly-listed social networking site that hosts her channel, allows users to buy and send virtual "star balloons" which can be monetized after the site takes a 30-40% commission.

Any payment by viewers is purely voluntary, as all channels can be viewed for free.

The service is currently limited to South Korea, although the company has plans to expand it to other countries.
...

Apparently there are some guys over there that make money off of it too lol.

I find it sad that drunk drag racing is just a misdemeanor.

**arus2001** · 2014-01-30 11:45

Will kinda chuckle when that Korean girl hits 40 and is suddenly 300 pounds.

MONTREAL – Police have confirmed that a woman apparently choked to death after her scarf was caught in a metro escalator.

At around 9:15 a.m. Thursday morning, the 30-year-old woman was discovered unconscious at the bottom of an escalator at the Fabre metro station.

“What we know now is that the woman’s scarf was caught in the escalator. When she bent over to try to get the scarf out, her hair was also caught,” Montreal police spokesperson Jean-Pierre Brabant said Thursday morning.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

**SephYuyX** · 2014-01-30 12:53

The mane problem was that she was too lazy to use the stairs, but it turned out that the scarf was the root of her problem.

Pulling hairs with these puns.

I hope you don't mean she is.

**NynJa** · 2014-01-30 18:26

Why is her scarf that was wrapped around her neck (and I dont just mean hanging loosely over her neck, since that would have caused it to fall off) still hanging far enough from the ground that it actually managed to get caught in the end of an escalator?

They found her at the end (down escalator I am assuming), I don't think they really said what part it got caught on did they?

[edit] also, scarves are often tied.

[editx2] I just realized what thread this was in. Moving to the miss piggy thread.

it was the scarf that choked her, not her hair, otherwise I'd agree

although you do have a point if it was indeed one of those knee length+ scarves

**Moss** · 2014-01-30 19:24

Have they done a hair-in-escalator death in a Final Destination movie yet? Seems like a bad way to go.
