Seriously? This is learning?

One of the many English language resources here in Korea for those interested in learning the language is The Learning Times. My cousin has been picking it up since he arrived, looking for things he might be able to use with his classes. So far, no such luck. Last week he discovered an amusing dialog which totally dropped the f-bomb:

Today he found something even more ridiculous:

This first one seems to be from a movie? I googled it and I guess it's Little Miss Sunshine. From the photo, the second one seems like it's a reference to the episode of the Office where they convince the new HR rep that Kevin is mentally retarded.

Chuck - hahaha, yeah. *That* might explain it!
