PRAGUE, Czech Republic (AP) - North Korea's embassy in Prague has demanded that the film "Team America: World Police'' be banned in the Czech Republic, saying the movie harms their country's reputation, a report said Saturday.
North Korean diplomats issued their protest to the Foreign Ministry on Thursday, saying the film ridicules North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, the Lidove Noviny daily said.
The film, by "South Park'' creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, uses a cast of puppets _ including one of Kim _ to poke fun at the U.S. war on terror. The team of marionettes fights terrorism, reducing world capitals to rubble along the way, in their quest to keep Kim from destroying the world.
"It harms the image of our country,'' the newspaper quoted a North Korean diplomat as saying. "Such behavior is not part of our country's political culture. Therefore, we want the film to be banned.''
The Czech Foreign Ministy said the film would not be banned in the Czech Republic.
"We told them it's an unrealistic wish,'' ministry spokesman Vit Kolar was quoted as saying. "Obviously, it's absurd to demand that in a democratic country.''
Officials from the Foreign Ministry and the North Korean Embassy could not be reached for comment Saturday.-AP

Not especially, but Michael Moore does blow himself up in a suicide bomber vest. The hollywood actors side with Kim Jong Il. Their group is called "Film Actors Guild." Think about the initials...
MATT DAY-MON!
It needed to be said.
Yes, but the opponents of the WOT even more.

"There you go Hans Brix! How you like that you ^#!@ing #@!##@#@. You have any idea how busy I am Hans Brix?!"
Saw it yesterday. HILARIOUS!
"Does it ridicult America and the WOT?"
It does an little bit. They do blow up Paris in the begining of the movie when they try to stop a meeting between two terrorist.
I must say that this was one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. I loved it.

Kim Jong Il: Hans Brix? Oh no! Oh, herro. Great to see you again, Hans!
Hans Blix: Mr. Il, I was supposed to be allowed to inspect your palace today, but your guards won't let me enter certain areas.
Kim Jong Il: Hans, Hans, Hans! We've been frew this a dozen times. I don't have any weapons of mass destwuction, OK Hans?
Hans Blix: Then let me look around, so I can ease the UN's collective mind. I'm sorry, but the UN must be firm with you. Let me in, or else.
Kim Jong Il: Or else what?
Hans Blix: Or else we will be very angry with you... and we will write you a letter, telling you how angry we are.
Those foolish Czechs-don't they know he was sent from the planet Gyron to conquer the Earth? Now the world's destruction is inedidable!
"Trey, Matt...you're breaking my barrs..."
