SEOUL (Reuters Life!) - At paparazzi schools in South Korea, students are taught how to stalk their prey and get them on film, but it's not the celebrities they're after, just ordinary citizens committing minor crimes.
"Track down a person smoking a cigarette (in a non-smoking area). When he throws away the cigarette, film it. Later, collect his car license number," encourages the textbook at one of the academies, the Mismiz Report and Compensation School
The thrill of the chase grew as various government agencies -- some now not quite so sure it was a great idea -- introduced "report and reward" schemes that encouraged people to catch their citizens transgressing the law.
The opportunities are plenty, and even include catching shopkeepers in the act of giving away plastic bags to customers which, under a law aimed at preventing waste, they are supposed to charge for.
A new word -- ssu-parazzi -- has even been coined by adding part of the Korean for garbage for those who specialize in catching people illegally throwing away their rubbish.
The damning evidence is sent to the appropriate state agency, along with the witnesses' bank details, in return for rewards which start at 50,000 won ($36) and go much higher for more serious infringements.
I was watching Mortal Combat yesterday and for whatever reason I thought of you. Creepy? Yeah, maybe a little bit.

It's freezing cold here and I can't figure out how to work the heat cuz it's in Korean. Boo!

I was going to post my original message in a rep comment, but I couldn't rep you again. But I didn't want to waste a scUM insult, understandably.
I am disappointed in that response not because it is a terrible phrase, but because it didn't contain profanity and anti-scUM words.
Oh for sure! He only bid once with 4 seconds left!
