도쿄올림픽 개회식에서 적절치 않은 표현을 쓴 MBC방송, 국제적 망신, 꼭 문재인 충견다웠다.이태리피자가 어때서?

도쿄올림픽 개회식에서 적절치 않은 표현을 쓴 MBC방송, 국제적 망신, 꼭 문재인 충견다웠다.

차라리 KBS lll 방송국으로 개명하고 나팔수 역활을 하는게 더 솔직하지 않을까?  도대체 일본하고 무슨 개인적 원한이 있다고, 올림픽 개막식에 앞서 일본수상 '스가'와 정상회담을 하네, 안하게 하면서, 5천만 국민들을 불모로 잡는 바보짖을 했나? 그리고는 조건이 안맞아 정상회담 성사 불발이라고....

각나라에 대한 평을 헐뜯는 식으로 나열 하면, 그러면 S. Korea에 대해서는 어떻게 평을 했나?

"문재인 대통령이 청와대 입성하면서, 탈원전을 정책의 1번으로 정하고, 가장 깨끗하고 안전한 원자력 발전운영을 폐쇄하고, 대신에 태양열판 전력생산한답시고, 전국의 푸른 산야를 황폐화 시켜, 요즘처럼 폭염이 내리쬐는 여름철에 전력생산이 부족하게되여, 전국의 산업시설에 제한송전을 실시하고, 일반 가정에는 에어콘 사용을 자제하고 있는 나라가 됐다"라고 촌평을 했다면.... 

또 "개고기를 뒷구멍으로 숨어서 먹는 Ugly Korean들이다"라고 시인 하면서 멘트를 했었라면 그런데로 발란스가 맞아, 전서방세계로부터 "병신같은, 정부 시녀 역활을 하는 개떡같은 나라의 오명을 뒤집어 쓰지 않았을테고, 비난도 안받았을 것이다. 

명색이 공영방송, 정부의 지원을 받으면서도 철저히 "내로남불"이 뜻하는바가 어떤 것인지를 참 친절하게도 멘트로 알려준 MBC의 충견질은 감탄할만하다. 아마도 G7초청받아 영국에 갔었을때, Italy와 좋지않은 그뭔가 있었던것은 아니었을까? 이태리 Pizza를 MBC사장은 한번도 먹어본적이 없다고 오리발 내밀까? 

문재인이 청와대 들어오면서 부터, 전세계적으로 외교적 왕따를 당해온것만도 억울한데, 문재인의 정부로 부터 방송국 운영비를 다 받아가면서 정부의 나팔수역활을 하는, MBC방송국은 오늘부로 문을 완전히 닫고, 폐쇄 시켜야 마땅하다.

문화방송 사장은, 뒷북치는 사죄를 한마디 했는데....그렇게 한마디 하면, 전세계로 부터 쏟아져 오는 비난에 면죄부가 씌워지나? 

When the contingent of Olympic athletes from Italy entered Tokyo’s Olympic Stadium for the parade of nations, the broadcaster MBC aired a photo of a pizza.

The South Korean broadcaster MBC showed photographs associating pizza with Italy, Chernobyl with Ukraine and Count Dracula with Romania in its coverage of the opening ceremony.

For television broadcasters worldwide, the parade of nations during the opening of the Olympics can be an exercise in diplomacy and global awareness, with media outlets resorting to trivia nuggets, athlete profiles and geopolitical musings to fill airtime.

But one South Korean broadcaster has apologized for its choice of “inappropriate” images that appeared next to the names of several countries on Friday during its coverage of the opening ceremony.

The images drew criticism from viewers, who said they were offensive or had perpetuated stereotypes.

As the contingent of Olympic athletes from Italy entered Tokyo’s Olympic Stadium for the parade of nations, the broadcaster, MBC, aired a photo of a pizza.


For Norway? A piece of salmon.

Then there was Ukraine, which the broadcaster reminded viewers was where the Chernobyl nuclear disaster happened in 1986, complete with a photo of the doomed power station.

“The images and captions are intended to make it easier for the viewers to understand the entering countries quickly during the opening ceremony,” MBC said in a statement in English, published Saturday on Twitter. “However, we admit there was a lack of consideration for the countries concerned, and inspection was not thorough enough. It is an inexcusable mistake.”

Raphael Rashid, a freelance journalist based in Seoul, drew attention to the images on Twitter.

“When Haitian athletes entered the stadium, an on-screen explanation said, ‘the political situation is fogged by the assassination of the president,’” Mr. Rashid wrote. “When Syrian athletes entered, it said ‘rich underground resources; a civil war that has been going on for 10 years.’”

MBC said it would investigate how the images it broadcast during the opening ceremony of the Olympics had been chosen and vetted.

For Romania, the broadcaster used an image of Count Dracula. And for the Marshall Islands, it noted that it had once been a nuclear test site for the United States.

When it was Malaysia’s turn in the parade of nations, MBC showed a graphic with that country’s coronavirus vaccination rate, along with its gross domestic product.

In its statement, MBC said that it would investigate the process of how the images, and the captions that accompanied them, had been chosen and vetted.

“Furthermore, we will fundamentally re-examine the production system of sports programs to avoid any similar accidents in the future,” the broadcaster said.

The Korea Herald reported that this was not the first time that MBC had made a misstep during the Olympics.In 2008, the news website said, the broadcaster was penalized by the Korea Communications Commission for disparaging countries participating in the Beijing Olympics with its captions. The broadcaster described Sudan as an unstable country with a long civil war and Zimbabwe as a country with deadly inflation.
