The True Origin of Pizza

My name is Matt, and I'm a Canadian who has lived in Korea and worked as an English teacher since 2001. In my spare time I research and write my blog, take photos, ride my bike, and take part in urban exploration of areas being redeveloped. I also like to watch movies and see live shows by indie bands, and have a fondness for 1960s and 1970s rock music by 신중현 and 산울림.

This is probably the best pizza commercial ever:

More videos related to this can be found here (and more commentary is here). There are lots of comments at YouTube written by Koreans who clearly ‘get it,’ but there are also some from those who obviously don’t understand that it’s satire.

Having recently read Hyung-il Pai’s ‘Constructing “Korean” Origins,’ the bit about the archeological evidence made me laugh (as she argues that the use of archeology in Korean historiography has at times involved putting square pegs into round holes). At any rate, kudos to Mr. Pizza – it would be nice to see more like this.

    This was priceless! The speculation about the second box had me in tears.
