Political commentator Bill O’Reilly insults Psy’s “Gangnam Style”; Haters

The flaws in his arguments are just too many and obvious to point out.
I also understand that yeah, this is afterall, FOX News, not something for me to be angry about.
But what made me upset is the reminder of such people in the world.
People who hold the same opinions and thinking as him.
I have witnessed enough, and far too many, local media including, spouting the same logic, just under different disguises.

These sort of reports and comments have certain traits. The "I am the only superior race kind while others are uncivilised, still living in poor conditions, and if they are famous something is wrong", "English is the only language in the world, songs in other languages are meaningless", "Nope, I don't follow the crowd, because I'm so high up and mighty" etc.

First two ones are kinda similar, as it has got to do with the preexisting western mindset. While I make this statement, I need to say that I KNOW this is a stereotype, but it is a stereotype that is true to a certain extent. I know there are also really open-minded people in the west, embracing foreign culture, and this, a lot of countries have to learn from them. But there is just a significant large group of people who still can't accept others who are not their kind. This explains the different treatments Asians get when travelling to western countries. (I'm tired of explaining so if you still disagree and think that ALL westerners are not narrowminded, just go search the tweets. #lilyswagb is one.)

Yet, the second stand is held by some Asians as well. Which led me to the conclusion that, this is a common excuse that haters from ALL around the world use. Because it is just so convenient. It is so convenient to close your eyes and simply say, "Yeah, I don't know what they are singing, so it must be meaningless." Sometimes I really wonder what's in the minds of such people when they say this, because the FALLACY in that statement is just so STRIKING.

Really disturbing that there exist educated people who are still shamelessly making such baseless and senseless claims. HEOL

ANW, here are some comments made by Bill O'Reilly. Ready?

“without intelligible words” and “has no real meaning”

Just for those who STILL don't know, and are too lazy to do a 5second google search,
"Gangnam Style and its music video is a jab at the high-class materialism in Korea and that the song is actually made up of intelligent words – just not in English."

This is a little fat guy from Pyongyang or someplace

Oh wow. Pyongyang, is the capital of NORTH Korea for goodness sake and North and South Koreas have a HUGE difference. And this guy was what? Some political commentator. Oh well, we know whether or not to trust his words and credibility next time. Oh, those who said that he knew it actually and it was just a form of exclamation? I'm sorry then, that he made a totally senseless comment.


Ending the discussion on this issue, it brings me on to another topic of haters.
If I were to describe them, I would say that they are a bunch of self-righteous people who love putting down others to make themselves feel better. Somehow they think that it makes them seem so tasteful and classier.

A recent blog post by Xiaxue makes a lot of sense.

Haters don't hate YOU per se.
They are not jealous, as claimed by so many people. Maybe some, but most aren't. Jealous means they wish they were you,

No, what haters feel about you is a strong dislike for your SUCCESS. 

They don't understand, in my case, how someone like me, so mediocre, so stupid, so untalented, can become a top blogger.
Thus, they find that it is their life's goal to make sure everyone sees the "truth" about you and stop contributing to your success.

True. And true for the case for KPOP and now today, PSY. Do they want to be PSY? With that face and figure.... Erm, no offence but no. But they dislike the attention that he is getting now. How could someone get so famous overnight? Breaking youtube records in 4 months? He is not even as good looking as the previous record holder Justin Bieber?
And so, you see haters going on to every MVs, criticising and trolling, because they want to make a mark.

This is something I experience often.
When I head on to SNSD's MVs, there will be like 1 hate comment in every 15 comments. And their objective? Not to annoy us fans. But inside their hearts, they were hoping that by doing so they (SNSD) will get less popular. Which is something so childish.

I was actually a bit apprehensive about posting this post. Really.
Will I sound too judgemental?
Afterall, I AM talking about a huge group of people and there are a bit sensitive topics aforementioned in this post.
But then again, I have nothing to fear because all I want to do today is to say,
"Leave us alone" and stop making racist, and claims that are factually incorrect already.
I know clearly that people are entitled to their own opinions, i know.
And I accept that.
But not when you are making obviously flawed comments that are detrimental to the reputation of anything I love.
That is when I will step in.

Ending off with Ryan Higa's quote from In the Backseat.

"I would say, I feel bad for you. If you have that much negativity in your life to leave that kind of comments to any one, then, you're prolly going through a hard time. So good luck."
