| North Korea takes aim at Bond |
| 2002-12-14 |
| James Bond's latest "enemy" is fighting back. Fictional North Korean agents torture the British spy in his new film, and now Pyongyang is angry for real. Official statement North Korea has called on the United States to stop showing Die Another Day saying it is "insulting the Korean nation". The film - starring Pierce Brosnan and Halle Berry - "clearly proves" the US is "the root cause of all disasters and misfortune of the Korean nation" and is "an empire of evil", according to the Secretariat of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland. The secretariat's statement said the film is a "dirty and cursed burlesque aimed to slander [North Korea] and insult the Korean nation". It says the film describes North Korea "as part of an 'axis of evil', inciting inter-Korean confrontation, groundlessly despising and insulting the Korean nation and malignantly desecrating even religion". The US is "the headquarters that spreads abnormality, degeneration, violence and fin-de-siecle corrupt sex culture", the statement said. |

| #4 Fuck that. Ask how the hell they got a copy. Then turn the MPAA shock troops loose on their commie asses. |

| #3 The Dear Leader was probably pissed there wasn't any porn in it. I've read that he has quite a collection... and the only VCR in North Korea. |

| #2 "Fin-de-siecle corrupt sex culture"! Ha ha ha ha! Now THERE's a fine piece of invective! Those North Koreans just crack me up, they could probably produce half-a-dozen replacements for Don Rickles any day. I suppose Pyongyang is twenty or so films behind on the Bond body of work; 007 has been happily corrupting the morals of women West and East for forty years now (half a century if you count the novels, as I would). But I will say this about that; a North Korean male tells me that he would not like to slip under the satin sheets with Tatiana Romanova wearing only a black satin choker (and black silk stockings if you follow the novel), and I will call him a big fat liar. |

| #1 Yes, that's true. We make faces at them when they're not looking, too. All Korean sheets are short, and all Korean beds have cornflakes in them, and, I confess, we did it. |
