Election coverage

It's a little unfair for me to write about election coverage, because we turned on the TV only half an hour before a winner was declared. Still, that was enough time for us to see some amusing coverage, including this depiction of the election as a marathon. Here's Lee Myung-bak running way in the lead, passing the signpost for Gangwon Province.

And here's the cluster of candidates at the back of the pack.

Just after the winner was declared, Lee is shown winning the race. At his feet you can see the tape that he has just broken through.

Finally, here are the two announcers who had been narrating the marathon. One of them has a Lee face on and is apparently imitating his speech style. Seems kind of low budget compared to the marathon.  You'd think they could have made Lee's head more life-sized.  

I'm looking forward to seeing something similar on CNN next year.
