License to Kim Jong-il


This guy is a great character. Check out this article where he claims to be an 'internet expert'. This is a quote from the AP article...

"North Korea is one of the world's most closed nations, with the totalitarian regime tightly controlling outside information and tolerating no dissent. Radios and TV sets in North Korea can only receive state broadcasts and ordinary people are banned from using mobile phones, let alone the Internet.

However, the country's ruling elite appear to have regular access to outside information.

Kim reportedly asked former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright for her e-mail address when she visited Pyongyang in 2000. A North Korean general cracked a joke about President Bush during high-level military talks with the South earlier this year, saying he read it on the Internet.

The North's leader is also a big fan of South Korean movies and TV dramas, and Roh gave him a bookcase of South Korean DVDs as a gift this week."


He's just a freaky little fella. I'm sure his internet usage never includes anything of a pornographic nature.

While he is a freaky little guy I think his quirkiness is mostly because he's just so 'ronery'. -3rd Regular Guy
