Ask a Korean! News: Iowa Hawkeyes are Huge in Korea

Heads have exploded in the headquarters of the excellent college football blog, Everyday Should be Saturday. The blog discovered that the new Girl's Generation (a k-pop group, if you didn't know) music video prominently features the girls kissing the Iowa Hawkeyes helmet.

From EDSBS:

What do South Korea and Iowa have in common? Plenty. Both are rivals with a dictatorship led by an aging charismatic leader and his son. Both are blazing hot in the summer and ball destroyingly cold in the winter. Both have a fondness for beer and chain restaurants, and both South Korea and Iowa love freedom and democracy. Iowa exercises their love primarily by its unique role in the American primary system, and South Korea does so by periodically erupting in the fiercest rioting on the planet ...

And no, the Korean is not posting the video here. He had to wear goggles while watching the video just to make sure he did not claw his eyes out.

Many thanks to Benjamin P. for the tip.
