Korean Cartoon Translation: Understanding Humor Across Cultures

AI Thread Summary
A user shared a cartoon they found humorous but couldn't understand due to the Korean text. They requested a translation, expressing concern about the potential for offensive content. Another participant noted that all attached images require mentor approval before being visible. The translation revealed that the cartoon references an "American murder case," featuring a character saying "next!" However, there was confusion about the cartoon's message, with some participants speculating it might relate to a lineup of cases, referencing a news item from the previous year.

A friend found this cartoon and thought it looked funny, even he has no idea how to read Korean (I'm pretty sure it's Korean, the email address is Korean).

Alright. The file says american murder case. While the guy sitting is saying 'next!'

You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
