According to Yahoo News, U.S has banned the import of iPods into North Korea to teach Kim Jong Il a lesson.
It would be…strange… if iPods are the cause of more escalations in the conflict between U.S and North Korea.
I don’t think Krazy Kim wants iPods in North Korea. Might dissuade people from listening to the one official radio, loudspeaker, and streaming audio station.
Which plays only the national anthem, his speeches, and of course Roy Orbison.
Well that’s a fine how-do-you-do. iPods get outlawed and now only outlaws will have iPods, and that’s all they need – a bunch of militant commies running around threatening and traumatizing people with the latest K-Fed/FedEx video. It’s Khmer Rouge all over again! (Except they used boomboxes and KC and the Sunshine Band)
I’m sure they’ll just introduce the Kim-JongIlPod, which will have software that makes iTunes looks like a fanatical proponent of unrestricted filesharing.
Not that anyone in North Korea has electricity or a computer with which to run it, though… 
From the article, it seems that the ban is specifically targeting the rich governmental officers who could afford electrcity and iPod. So I guess that means no Xbox360 for them too!
And another governing clique is driven into the arms of the Chinese…
I’ve nothing to add (other than something that’s already been said) but good, quick snark. Big ups to you guys.
I love this board.
That leaves only 160 or so other countries for him to get these items from. :rolleyes:
He’ll just send his maid down to South Korea to buy the stuff. So who’s proving what to who?
The joke is on the US: The headsets would have only messed up his perfectly coiffed hair…
So? I’m sure he has a change of hair in his closet. Enough for a month, I’d wager.
Just wait until he makes an official visit to the US, and tell him he can’t go to Disneyland. It worked on Khruschev.
I find it hilarious when you think of this evil maniac, possibly ready to blow up half the world, sitting in bed, watching The Bodyguard, a tear flowing down his cheek.
I wonder if one of his 10,000 DVD’s is Team America?
