Puppy poo girl

I just read about the Puppy poo girl. It's a very "Only in Korea" story, but it even has a write-up on wikipedia already and a Washington Post article. It's sort an "Any publicity is good publicity" story, but also very telling about the conflict between the value of style, status and importance, and the strength of social conformity.
