Sport in N.Korea Is Not for the Faint-Hearted

In 1974, a popular North Korean actress named Woo In-hee was found unconscious in an exhaust-filled car after having an affair with a man who was born in Japan. The man died in the car but Woo survived and was forced to stand in front of a committee for an ideological criticism session. Rather than blaming herself, Woo revealed that she had been sleeping with high-ranking movie industry officials in return for top roles in films. She was executed by firing squad soon after.

Students at Kim Il-sung University may skip classes, but they make it a point never to miss the bi-monthly self-criticism sessions because of the "entertainment" they offer. One student was forced to face a session after breaking off his engagement with his fiance. After listening to the student, the president of the university asked him, "So are you going to live with her or not?" The intimidated student shouted, "Yes, I will live with her!" leading to a roar of laughter.

Purge and self-criticism, ping!

Immediately afterward, it was announced that North Korea, in a surprise move, had annexed the Sudetenland.

Crazy. Sensitivity/diversity training meets Jerry Springer...in a Catholic confessional...with a hidden camera...in 1984.

The players were falsely accused of losing their strength by sleeping with foreign women before their final World Cup match, where they were defeated by Portugal.

Hmmmmm. "Foreign" women.

So, can one conclude that if the players on the 1966 team had slept with North Korean women before their match with Portugal the would NOT have lost their strength?

...and firing squads. Don’t forget the fun and excitement that firing squads add to the spectacle!

Perhaps BLIZZARD should make a communist version of Starcraft as it is so popular in South Korea; practically a national pastime.

To be the winner in communist Starcraft you have to be the first player to successfully eat a zerg solely due to starvation.

[TigerLikesRooster]

Or you successfully frame everybody else to face firing squad.:-)

[alecqss]

Yep, they would be horny like hell toward the Portuguese.

I haven’t checked out the latest Starcraft yet, any word on whether it’s any good?

Well it DOES have a STAR on it ...

"I haven’t checked out the latest Starcraft yet, any word on whether it’s any good?"

I don't know, my current 'puter is too slow for it and I'm loath to make any big purchases during the Obamanation.

I've read that some players consider the game "incomplete" because it only includes one solo campaign for the Terains. The rest will come out later as "expansions" you'll have to buy. The other complaint is that an active internet connection is required for all play, even for solo play as some kind of copy protection scheme.

Hopefully they get all the problems taken care of in a few years when I'm finally able to upgrade.

Excellent post!

Scary as hell...
