Bad News For Blood Type B Guys

So our South Korean correspondent has forwarded us another story, this one of much less importat nature. Those of you out there with Blood Type B, thank your lucky stars you aren't a South Korean. If you read the story, you will find out that girls don't date Blood Type B guys because "scientists" claim that they are "selfish and hot-headed." In fact, last year a song entitled "Type B Men" rocketed to the top of the music charts in South Korea.

Apparently, it all began in Japan when in 1927, Japanese scholar Takeji Furukawa published a series of articles called "The Study of Temperament Through Blood Type." They seem vaguely similar to the eugenics movements of the early 20th Century United States that led to Buck v. Bell in 1927. The idea truly arrived on the scene in the greater culture when in 1971 when Japanese writer Masahiko Nomi wrote "Understanding Compatibility from Blood Types."
