Wed Aug 20, 4:14 AM ET
South Korean Olympic athletes have been given detailed guidelines to avoid friction with their North Korean counterparts in Beijing, officials said Wednesday.
Contestants should not point or laugh at badges or portraits depicting North Korea's "Dear Leader" Kim Jong-Il or his late father Kim Il-Sung, the (South) Korean Olympic Committee (KOC) says in a handbook.
"Refrain from pointing, touching or laughing at badges, portraits and remarks idolising the father and son," the booklet advises.
Athletes should also avoid using names like "South Korea" and "North Korea" or even the countries' official titles, the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" and "the Republic of Korea."
They should "maintain an attitude that is resolute and dignified while avoiding political issues in dialogue" when they meet North Korean counterparts, says the 150-page handbook which also covers a variety of other topics.

That my second fav photo of Chia Pet and his kid that got busted at Tokyo Disneyland LOL!
I think puppet doesn’t cross the line do we Folks LOL!
What?
You really have to wonder how people like Jong, Gore, Edwards and Pelosi get any power.
Time for the Kim Jong Il door mat. My shoes are dirty and I don’t want to track dirt into my house.
The South Koreans need to come with a little dance number set to the old Chia Pet commercials.
Better idea:
Adopt the terms “Free Korea” and “Kim’s Country” to distinguish them.
Trash the 150 pages and the bureaucrats who came up with them.
I think North Korea has an official “lights out” time because when photographed from space at night, the PDRK is blacked out while the ROK (Republic of Korea) down south is lit up like a Christmas tree.
Korea at night aka the fruits of Obamunism
Even the people working the night shift on the offshore squid boats have it better than them!
Is it ok to refer to them as, “hey, you !@#$ing KorCom?”
How about kimchee breath?
How about loser?
They are depending on the good-will and compassion of the athletes.
Their families are under house arrest after all, and at risk of death.
Hmmm ... You must have old picture. Lil Kim has lights now ... :>)
They should Sun Young Moon them..
Bump.
