I don't speak Korean or anything, but I thought this 'Nike Korea' tag was interesting...I think the first image icon is pretty self explanatory, but what in the hell does the second image icon mean?
Don't use a fan on your shoes?
I clearly have no idea what it says, but it made me think of this cultural thing I heard a few years back...
Not sure if any of y'all have heard about this and I this is ridiculous of me to even bring up, but it's really interesting...wiki 'Fan Death' if you don't know what I'm referring to:
"Fan death is the alleged death of humans as a result of running an electric fan in a closed room with unopened or no windows. While the supposed mechanics of fan death are impossible given how electric fans operate, belief in fan death persisted to the mid-2000s in South Korea,[1][2][3] and also to a lesser extent in Japan.[4][5][6]
Where the idea came from is unclear, but fears about electric fans date back to their introduction to Korea, with stories dating to the 1920s and 1930s warning of the risks of nausea, asphyxiation, and facial paralysis from the new technology.[7][8]
One conspiracy theory is that the South Korean government created or perpetuated the myth as propaganda to curb the energy consumption of South Korean households during the 1970s energy crisis, but Slate reports that the myth is much older than that – probably as far back as the introduction of electric fans in Korea, and cites a 1927 article about "Strange Harm from Electric Fans".[7][9]"
So...yeah...what does 'no fan' this have to do with my Heavy's?
