Dear Leader is Displeased with Team America

'Team America' unsettles Team Kim in Pyongyang

The caricature of North Korea's "Dear Leader", Kim Jong-Il, in the film, "Team America: World Police," is striking a discordant note among North Korean officials, and probably their supreme leader himself, despite his well-known love for private viewings of foreign movies.


Word from Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, is that the North Korean embassy there is asking the government to ban the film, the creation of Trey Parker and Matt Stone of South Park fame.
The Czech Foreign Ministry, however, said the North Koreans had been rebuffed in their effort to undermine the Czech Republic's post-Communist era freedom. The film shows marionettes attempting to stop Kim Jong-Il from destroying cities around the globe.

A Czech newspaper, Lidove Noviny, reports that a North Korean diplomat complained that the film "harms the image of our country." He was even quoted as saying, "Such behavior is not part of our country's political culture."

Thank god for Parker and Stone. <laughs wildly>

So it's Hollywood who hurts the image of North Korea?! It's not nuclear weapons and pint sized dictators? Yikes.

This is hilarious... nothing like the indignation of someone who isn't in on the joke.

I read that Dear Leader was quite impressed when Bush referred to him as "Mr." He believed the term was an honorific, giving him the respect he deserves. Umm, ok.

That is hilarious

You know, I always wondered if people like Kim Jong-Il ever end up seeing movies or TV shows where they are lampooned and made fun of. For instance, I wonder if Bush ever catches the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. I picture him just like turning on the TV as they are reaming him over a speech he made.

Dammit...I wish to register a formal complaint against Lebell. Snorting a good white wine through my nose is such a waste.
