If you get disqualified from your taekwondo match for taking too long in injury time, there are many acceptable forms of response. Kicking the judge in the face is not one of them.

The former gold-medal winner and trenchant philosopher pictured above and his coach have been recommended to be banned from the World Taekwondo Federation for life.

"We didn't expect anything like what you have witnessed to occur," said WTF secretary general Yang Jin-suk. "I am at a loss for words."

Indeed.

I want to be the secretary general of WTF. But the kind where I get to mock and be amazed at things, not the kind where I get kicked in the face.

In lieu of that, I wouldn't mind membership or leadership in either the Southern Tenant Farmers' Union or the Object Management Group.
