Culture in East Korea

I cannot do justice to the culture of the Great Nation of East Korea with a single post and therefore we will see more daily entries on this interesting aspect of East Korea in the future.

I would like to direct your attention to a cultural event that is unique in the world: The Running of the Shits.

This event is held each year in the capital of East Korea, GeoffP City, and consists out of an army of contestants trying to run up a hill and arrive at the top first. Although this might sound rather bland and normal this event is made special by the fact that the up to 200,000 people stand on top of the hill unleashing their diarrhea induced by eating spoiled food, on the hill, covering the steep incline with a slippery layer of stinking feces. This is known as 'waxing' the hill.

The Great Leader of East Korea, GeoffP, signals the start of the event by throwing the severed head of a virgin down the hill. The person who manages to reach the top of the hill first wins the grand price; this Hero may serve as dinner for the Great Leader himself after being so wonderfully marinated and proven to have lean effective muscles.

During the year contestants often practice on smaller hills in order to be in top shape for the main cultural event of the year.
