Some South Koreans are easing the "Dog Days of Summer" by embracing a tradition of eating dog meat to help survive a heat wave gripping the country.

Animal rights activists, meanwhile, packed themselves into wire cages to protest the eating of dogs.

Tuesday is the day South Koreans traditionally eat dog meat and other foods that they believe will help ease the heat by increasing their stamina.

You must ask the _resident of the white house just how good dog meat tastes!
Also, tell those demonstrators, “don’t knock it unless you have tried it”.

I think you meant: “Before you judge, at leash give it a try.”

Many cannibals call human flesh “long pig” IIRC.

I didn't know Obama was also Korean.

I remember reports that before the Seoul Olympics, the government closed down most roadside dog stands as it would upset visitors to see them.

Obummer is heading there for a Campaign visit. Jay Carney said they had a special dinner for him there.

Phillipinos eat dog on a regular basis. It is considered a delicacy.

You don’t want to know how they “cook” it.

The bakery business must be huge, all those buns.
