Practical or patronizing?
South Korea is spending mega-money on creating larger car parking spaces for women.
Capital city Seoul is introducing "lady-friendly" spots reserved exclusively for female drivers, the Korea Times reports.
Wider and longer than regular spots, they will be closer to elevators and marked out with pink mini-skirted logos.
It's not yet known, however, if men will be fined if busted for using them.
Korea Times reports the initiative is part of a nearly $700 million push to make the metropolis more female-friendly over four years.
Other projects include installing 7,000 new women-only toilets, and the resurfacing of some sidewalks with a squishy material to help those wearing high heels.
"It is like adding a female touch to a universal design and make things more comfortable for women," Assistant Mayor for Women and Family Affairs Cho Eun-hee told the Korea Times.
Nice anecdotal story
The statistics speak for themselves
I have never seen that pic before!
I Like Katy Perry too, but that pic of SNSD is awesome!
I will say I think my Favorite vid of theirs is The Japanese "Oh" vid.
It's like a Tribute to 1950's America.

Their new song 'Mr.Mr.' kind of brings back the darker and edgier look and feel of their "Black Soshi" period in 2011 - which I like best:
Girls' Generation 소녀시대 'Mr.Mr.'
That might eventually become my new tagline: "SNSD: Making American female singers look fat and sleazy since 2007." :)
