Nuclear Energy Defends Dokdo
>> 05 February, 2010
It seems there's now a third claimant in the Dokdo/Takeshima squabble: the Pacific Ocean. Some folks in Korea might see this as a threat to their entire national identity, but the folks over at the Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Company (KHNP) figure that if Poseidon throws you the proverbial lemon, you might as well use it as an excuse to peddle nuclear power:

I wonder if they're implying anything else with that large typeface tagline at the bottom ("Nuclear Energy Defends Dokdo").
The intersection of two great marketing ploys: Dokdo and the "green" craze
Well considering the average elevation of Seoul is just 46m and the highest point on Dokdo is 169m, I think that the ad is getting it's priorities wrong. They were probably just blinded by nationalism like almost every Korean.
(BTW I doubt sea level will ever rise 46m let alone 169m)
If Dokdo disappeared, no one would be able to claim it; you can't claim what no longer exists.
Good to know Dokdo is still there while the islets between Korea and Hawaii have disappeared in the ogin without a trace.
