Korean Hostages in Afghanistan
I don't normally use this website as a political soapbox and I have no intention to start. However, I'm stepping in to preserve photos of the Korean missionaries who were captured by the Taliban in Afghanistan. The government is starting to ban them and it won't be long before you can't find them on Korean websites anymore; instead they'll be replaced with warnings like the image on the right.
I'll keep the commentary to a minimum but the pictures themselves will affect your bias, which might be why they're getting banned. One part of the public debate is whether these Koreans were there as missionaries or aid workers, and the pictures firmly settle that question.
Anyway, in a little less than two hours from now, the hostages are scheduled to be either executed or traded for imprisoned Taliban terrorists. Either way, there is going to be blood.
For those of you who don't know, Stormfront is the largest white supremacist/nationalist/national socialist website in existence. It's a public forum and although they allow racial slurs they strongly discourage anyone to suggest illegal activities and have strong moderation. The other one is a message board for English teachers in Korea.
Can you tell them apart? Highlight the box on the right to get your answer.
Note: In no way do I mean to call any of the Dave's posters racist. While some certainly are, a lot of other comments were said for a number of good reasons and should not reflect poorly on the writers.

November 2005 to December 2005
I've finished another batch of archive photos. Now I'm done September 2005 to December 2005. This includes a Ssamzie Sound Festival and a trip to Japan for the Korea/Japan Punk Festival. Unfortunately there are still some gaps in this section but I'll put everything up sooner or later.
The story behind this puzzle, if you don't recall, is that I saw Amber trying to do a crossword in the Herald Tribune, and I figured I could make one that was easier to solve, used fewer freaky crossword terms, and contained the word "bukkake." There are a few words in here that I'm not happy about using, but I was working without any of my usual resources. I could've done it in half the time and avoided words like "ewe" and "NiN" if I had Internet access for one minute. But I guess Suck Stuff recording songs was more important. I don't know; you be the judge.
Also, here's a 2007 crossword I did for work. This one can even be filled out and scored online, but it's probably in copyright violation. If the guy who made this somehow finds me, please don't be bothered too much by this. We're not going to infringe on your copyright for profit. We just need to study your code to figure out how to make our own. This one isn't for profit so I don't think it will bother you.

Skinhead Show
Looking over these photos I'm surprised how much some of these people's styles have changed in the last year and a half. Quite a few of the Korean skinheads are still recogniseable as skinheads, although the Mexican gangstaification had already begun.

Return of the Geeks
I got a ton of photos of the Geeks but by my standards today they are all a little on the blurry side. Also afterward you can see Verv get trashed.

Return of the Geeks
I think these photos are from the Geeks' return show after Kiseok returned from his year in the US. Despite the fact it was late February, the temperature was pretty decent.
This was also the debut of Verv's Rock Against Communism shirt. He almost got beaten up later, but that was more over race-mixing than his shirt. I guess sometimes it isn't enough to just wear the shirt of the movement you like; you have to follow its tenets (in this case it would be refusing to mix with the lower Asiatic races and attacking on sight any black people, because they cause violence in our society). As I've always said, "If communism doesn't mean multiculturalism and miscegenation, I don't know what it is."
