maybe if george bush had cheerleaders... nah, i still don't think it would help him

so it's election day tomorrow. and a statutory holiday to boot. woo hoo!
since november 27th all i have heard was the banter of pop songs; their lyrics have been changed to state the party's political agenda, and to promote the candidates themselves. near my house, all i hear are these newly written pop songs with the words "ee-myung-bak" (the name of one of the candidates). the funniest thing about it is that in front of their portable stage parked at the side of a busy intersection, they have dancers (whom i call cheerleaders) dancing along to the music in a choreographed manner. donald kirk of the asia times writes "it's an orgy of democracy in action that won't stop until december." december 19 that is... tomorrow.

these dancers are supporting ee-myung-bak, the presidential candidate you see in the poster above.
this poster, placed right beside one of the main bridges to get to the island of yeongdo-gu (where i currently reside), reminded me of orwell's 1984 - big brother, don't you think?
who's to say in this crazy "orgy of democracy" who will win? well, my money's on ee-myung-bak: he's ahead of in the polls, he only as been accused of being involved in a scandal with samsung, and he has the most attractive dancers.
