Koreans seem to have a taste for the outrageous. The running theories assure that the only way to overcome the summer heat is to eat tongue-scorching chicken soup, that every stomachache emanates from one of three causes (eating too fast, too much, or too cold), or that digging your nail into mosquito bites will help (what it actually helps with is unclear). Hula hoops equipped with belly-bruising nobs are all the rage for weight loss, and so-called magic “beauty drinks” abound. But of all the things, nothing I’ve heard has been able to match the Deadly Fan theory.
The innocent little electric fan, designed to keep you cool from inhospitable summer temperatures like these. It turns and turns, working all through the night to combat the beads of sweat that inevitably line your crown. But in its efforts, it suddenly begins to suck out the air in the room – swoosh, swoosh, it can’t be helped! In a few tragic moments that can only be described by the most reasonable phenomena of electric fan use, an airless vacuum forms and suffocates the unconscious user! No, why must life be so cruel?!
Now, while I’m not saying that everyone believes this, it’s enough to know that fans are sold equipped with timers...yeah, you’d think the timers were to save electricity, but I swear I ain’t making this up!

LOL well they do use fans in our regular house a/c units to suck air up and out of the house while the cooling unit blows cold air in so it makes sense... and!!!! the hula hoops!! XD they have them here too~ My friend has one >_>;; she and her mom use it... I think. If they do use it diligently I think it actually works.
