South Korean TV network issued an apology for using insensitive images to stereotype countries at the opening ceremony of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
The broadcaster, MBC, used images of pizza to describe Italy, salmon to describe Norway and even a photo of an upheaval to describe Haiti when their athletes were entering the stadium for the opening ceremony.
The network also referred to the Marshall Islands as “once a nuclear test site for the United States”, and Syria as the country that has “a civil war going on for 10 years”.
After much criticism received online, MBC finally issued an apology to the countries involved and their viewers.

Mcspicy is an all-time favourite for many Singaporeans and although some of us have the runs to the toilet we still think that it is fine.
However, after Mcspicy was launched in the United Kingdom many think that the spicy level is ridiculous.
One individual who bought the burger thought that he was going to die and claimed thought that his colon would collapse onto the toilet floor after eating the spicy burger.
While there are others who think that the spice level is not even worth mentioning.
If Uncle roger was reading these Twitter post he would say:
Phoon Chiu Yoke the infamous ‘badge lady’ who refused to wear a mask is no longer allowed to go on bail. She was previously offered SGD$12,000 for bail but it has since been revokerd
She was caught at Mandarin Orchard on June 25 without a mask at around 3 pm.
She was previously spotted not wearing a mask again even after she was caught at MBS
The authorities said that due to her failure to cooperate with further investigations, the Director of Public Prosecutions will increase her bail from SGD$8,000 to SGD$12,000.
She ignored all calls that were from the ICA and Phoon defend herself by saying that she has received alot of prank calls and would occasionally miss the calls on her phone.
A netizen shares his thoughts about the River Valley high murder, the netizen pointed out that if the incident happened at a neighbourhood school the public would have taken it differently.
Here are comments collected from Facebook:
Following the RV tragedy I think its safe to say that just because your school is “branded” doesn’t make you any better. Just because you excel academically doesn’t automatically make you better than others.
No shade to the victim and perp (I hope the victim rests in peace and the perp get the help he needs) but I feel like if this were to have happened in a neighbourhood school with more bengs and lians and not an IP school, the response would have been very different with people probably bashing the school and blaming it on poor parenting/ gaming/ bad company etc and saying mean things about how this is why this school’s rep is so bad etc.
Many kids’ grades are bumped artificially through intensive tuition in primary school. When they go to secondary school, some kids lose their footing when they have to cope with many subjects suddenly.
When they feel they don’t match up to the majority of their peers, their self-esteem takes a hit. So just because a kid has done well in PSLE doesn’t mean he’ll continue to thrive in a competitive secondary school. Parents shouldn’t assume the kids will make it somehow. It’s important to monitor the kid’s progress and emotional & mental health.
Sometimes a more relaxed environment suits them better. My conjecture for the tragedy is that the killer felt inferior because of his grades and he decided to take it out on fellow schoolmates who seem to be cruising along effortlessly.
