Gangnam Style! The Anatomy of a Viral Sensation [INFOGRAPHIC]

Last July 15, 2012 there was a song released by a South Korean rapper called "Gangnam Style". It's catchy but someone used it to make the following video


Me being who I am had to know more about the original song. Mashable to the rescue with an infographic

Apparently it's commentary on the wealth gap in South Korea. Who knew? Well, I guess those who speak Korean knew. Perhaps the original video using English subtitles would help.

Dr Michael Brown has written an article in which he points out that as much as supporters for same-sex marriage want to deny it - changing the definition of marriage will lead to many other taboos being legitimized. He wrote:

Simply stated, with the public endorsement of same-sex relationships, the endorsement (or at least acceptance) of consensual, adult, incestuous relationships is inevitable.

 Dr Brown shows that without a standard we have no reason to make any relationship taboo.  I think anyone with an interest in this should read this article. Dr Brown further comments:

A gay man and his partner once asked me, “But how can you say our relationship is wrong? We’re not hurting anyone and there is no victim.” I asked them, “Would you approve of two adult gay brothers having a relationship?” They both replied, “But that is so wrong!” Yet when I pressed them further, they could not say why their relationship was fine but that of two consenting brothers was not.
So, what’s it going to be? Do we hold the line on marriage as the union of a man and woman only, or do we eventually open the door to incest too?
