I watched this movie like three weeks ago. I volunteered for mentally handicapped people for few days. One day we went to a theater to watch a movie. What we watched was King Fu Panda.

This movie was about a Panda who wanted to be a kung fu master. He was not talented at kung fu, but he eagered the regendary king fu master. He worked hard and finally acheived his goal at last.

I watched this movie with lots of fun. It's back ground was China and it was made in USA. This fack was kind of weird, but it was well drawn. Story was interesting also.

The critics thought about like this movie as a good movie which is same idea as me.

This movie was also compared with 'Matrix', 'Lord of the Ring', 'Transformer' which are famous and well maden movies.

I think I saw a good movie. I want to see more well maden movies.

Mad copw disease is dangerous disease. There is no cure. If people get this, they will die in 15 years.

Most of Korean people is afraided by this disease. Some of them belive that mad cow disease will kill all of them because they believe that can be infected by air, water and everything. This is crazy thinking. Many people believe on tons of false informations.

I think this happening is made up by nongovernment parties and medias. Few months ago PD Note showed about mad cow disease. This was totally made up by them. They said a woman died by mad cow disease which is vCJD. But her mother said CJD which is totally different with vCJD. PD Note also showed dieing cows, and they said, "They are dieing because they got mad cow disease." Because of this broadcast, many people thought that they should ban abandon U.S beef. These thinkings caused candle demonstration.

The candle demonstration was leaded by unknown people. Somebody send text message to students and said, " We don't have school today. Let's go out side and join the demonstration."
It caused many students came out and join the demonstration. This atmosphere touched many adults and let them join this stupid demonstartion.

By some groups, people became to believe about mad cow disease which not exist. Now, nobody of them hear the truth. They are using weapons and hitting polices. This make Korean economy getting worse.

I hope this crazy events would get over soon.

This article was about a first American TV show which came from casual online game. This was interesting because I like TV shows. This article said 'Catch 21' is the first TV show which came from onlione game but it is not true. In Korea, we had 'Run! Coba'. This was shown on TV when I was 4 which is 14 years ago. I didn't enjoy this program but I can remember this show.

There are also so many Online game TV shows on TV. Starcraft league in the most famous one. Starcraft TV shows are still exist and this is really famous and the best.

My favorite was 'Fortress'. I liked this because my rank was pretty high. Let me intorduce how to play this game. You should choose a tank and push space bar for shooting and control shooting angle with up and down keys. Easy huh?.

Actually, America have game show like these, but they never shown on TV. Like, Counter Striker, this is really famous game and very old. This game had leagues, but never improved to TV show like Korean game shows.
