Learn Korean through Spongebob

Rough Draft Korea is an animation company that's based -- I'm just guessing here -- in Korea. I've seen them in credits for Futurama, Family Guy (and its spin-offs), The Simpsons, Powerpuff Girls, and Spongebob Squarepants.

I'm always amused when I see them slip some Korean in. In one episode of Family Guy, for example, Lois takes a self-defense class, and they have Korean written in one picture on the wall. I saw this one on Spongebob today:

If you go to 1:05, you can see "Forward" and "Backward" shift into "앞으로가" and "뒤로가."

That's kind of cool ... like being part of an inside joke.
