"Sea of Japan" appears on cover of Korean social studies book.

See, this is why you don't do stuff in a language you don't understand, dumb asses. A globe that appears on the cover of a social studies book uses the correct English-language name of "Sea of Japan," although the Korean organization VANK has had the books pulled and wants the name changed to "East Sea."

Same lazy, half-assed way they do everything. They are just careless and no one is bright enough to have picked it up.

Seriously, how much of a life's big loser do you have to be to take a magnifying glass to a book checking for Sea of Japan?

Seriously, VANKers need to laid in a bad way.

I'll bet the image was lifted from the internet. Fair use doesn't apply since the books are published by a company.

Speaking of lifting images from the Internet, I still remember Krispy Kreme Korea and their first net ad, obviously done by a lazy someone who did a Google search for an image and took the first one that came up. At the time, this was the first image that came up in a Google search (not any longer, though), and was the image they used in their ads (oh, so deliciously hilarious):
