UN got Gangnam Style

Yahoo has acquired its first company under the leadership of new CEO Marissa Mayer: Stamped, a New York startup backed by a roster of celebrity investors, including Ryan Seacrest and Justin Bieber. But now onto a better musician: Psy. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon met the K-Pop sensation on Tuesday, tried his best to ‘dress classy, dance cheesy,’ and finally scored the U.N. some cool points. The U.N. could however score more cool points by giving Resolution 2758 the boot. But back to the meeting between Psy and Ban Ki-moon. The two were an odd couple to behold. Bespectacled and wearing a proper suit, Ban looked every bit the serious dignitary. And with a trendy checkered sport coat and nattily unknotted bow tie, Psy appeared the quintessential Web supernova. One trail-blazed the U.N.’s work combating global warming and was instrumental in negotiating the peacekeeping resolution during the Darfur conflict. The other created a song and music video that has received over a half-billion views on YouTube while encouraging people of all generations to mock-gallop like a horse while chanting, “Hey, sexy lady.” And their importance to the country of South Korea, right now, may be of equal weight. And hey, at least their side of the 38th parallel doesn't blow ridiculous sums of money on failed rocket launches.
