These commercials have always bothered me. I still don't get how they're "contradictions". To contradict something, a latter thing has to negate a former. Like it cancels the last thing out or undoes it... How does being Korean contradict being Scottish? Do they mean ironic? As in something is the opposite of what you expect? But there's no inherent previous expectation for a Korean to not also be Scottish. Do they mean opposites? Like juicy (liquid) could be the opposite of solid but not really. IT is actually irony. I hate this commercial. Someone explain this shit to me.
