Modern Warfare

Once upon time, when your neighbouring tribe, village or country was misbehaving and giving you a hard time, you could go over and give them a good butt-kicking. Warfare has come a long way since. In today's world of "moral responsibility" when a country misbehaves, we put trade restrictions on them. North Korea, after cheekily detonating a nuclear weapon, will be soon facing these restrictions:

In a novel effort targeting the lifestyle of North Korea's eccentric president, the Bush administration wants to make it tougher for him to buy iPods, plasma televisions, Segway electric scooters and more.

A ban on Segway electric scooters? The poor iPod-less North Koreans won't be able to scoot around any more? A true tragedy. I have an image of US politicians and military personnel hovering over the list with one general assuring the rest, "We'll ban iPods and those blasted electric scooters. That'll fuck 'em. Those commie bastards will be begging for mercy in no time. Mark my words."

Are you saying we should rape and pillage North Korea?

Errr...maybe. Actually, I changed the original post. I deny I ever suggested we should rape and pillage North Korea... but it would teach them a lesson, right?

None of us are saying that martini.

(But we're certainly thinking it loudly. Oh my, yes...)

I was going to say, that surely if old Kim already HAS an ipod, he wont need another one, and so these trade restrictions are effectively useless.

And then i remembered that ipod batteries only last a few months, so i reckon we'll be seeing the downfall of this mighty Red Empire sometimes around, oh, Easter?

And i for one am ALL FOR having hot north korean post-communist-downfall refugee ladies flee to my neighbourhood, where, rest assured, i will treat them with the love and respect that all hot north korean post-communist-downfall-
and-feeling-vulnerable ladies deserve....

Any "north korean post-communist-downfall refugee ladies" will be mighty bony, Dale.

Unless...that's the way you like it.

Sure Dale will look forward to, um, feeding them adequately.

It just occurred to me, that perhaps Kim, in all his insanity-inspired hilarity, is in all likelihood a GODLESS commie bastard? (the worst kind, by far...) or at least, he worships at the Alter of Kim?

And, as a direct result of this apparent heathen status, he might not even BELIEVE in Easter... and so all my well laid plans to be knee deep in north korean goodness (or NKG, as it shall be referred to henceforth), may have been tragically denied?

OH KIM, PLEASE, SAY YOU BELIEVE IN JEEBUS!!! FOR THE SAKE OF MY NKG!!

p.s. pma, i dont care if the girl is 50 pounds or a 150, as long as she is sweating over a hot frypan, she's hot in my eyes....
my, i just reread that, and hate myself, just a little bit... hmm.....
