'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.

North Korean leader Kim Jung Il in Paramount's "Team America: World Police - 2004."


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."

Alec Baldwin, as well, never looked so good

He never looked so lively in real life, as well.

So, they say they have nukes. Big deal, what are they going to do: eat them? Are they going to bomb L.A.? Do they want a nuclear war with the U.S.?

It's time for this little $#!T-HEAD to stand up like a man, and tell the world why he allows his people to stave, yet chases away of the people who could help - with his nukes.

If it was an accident, I'm pretty confident you won't be able to scrape enough DNA together to get an answer to your satisfaction. If intentional, the agents who did it probably aren't advertising too much. Either way, Jong probably knows and so do a few of his close advisors. Beyond that, shrug.

According to TV Guide, the new South Park season begins this Wednesday. I thought it was some time in March. Which is correct?
