Been a while
I finally got around to reading the entry in the Uncyclopedia on Korea. It turns out that it's actually somewhat funny in places. Yeah, some of it is offensive, but there is some genuine humor in there, of the sort that only someone living in Korea would pick up on. (Skip the first portions, as they focus entirely too much on Starcraft, since Starcraft is the most familiar part of Korean culture to the demographic involved in writing these sorts of articles.)
Actually, looking back over it, a lot of it is pretty offensive, though the humorous portion and the offensive portions are pretty separate. They're mixed together on the page, but none of the offensive stuff is actually funny.
Some of the examples of Korean language just about cracked me up. For instance,
Hakwon (학원) - prison (Also the word 'Hakkyo' can be used as this way)
Il-Bon-Sa-Ram (일본사람) - monkey
Miguk-saram-deul (미국사람들) - devils from the lowermost circle of hell, adjacent to Canada
Sarang he (사랑해) - I hate you
Su-hak (수학) - the alternate Corean language
For those who don't speak Korean, 'hakkyo' is 'school,' 'ilbonsaram' is a Japanese person (average people in Korea hate Japan, for obvious reasons--I do not equate Japanese people with monkey except inasmuch as all homo sapiens are apes, but I have heard people in Korea say much worse things), 'miguksaram' is an American, 'sarang he' means 'I love you,' and 'suhak' is mathematics.
Also notable were the inclusions of Emperor Park Ji-Sung (박지성) and Emperor Park Chan-Ho (박찬호) in the list of past rulers of the country. The former is a current soccer star, and the latter is famous as the first good Korean player in Major League Baseball. Well, he was good with the Dodgers, anyway. He was really popular at the school I attended in Korea, Hanyang University, largely because he is an alumnus.
