North Korea not amused by Team America
Tuesday, 8 February 2005, 01:31
According to the CBC (via the Czech newspaper Lidove Noviny), the North Korean embassy in Prague wants the film Team America: World Police to be banned in the Czech Republic.
Kim Jong-il is the main villain in the Thunderbirds-style film by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of South Park.
The North Korean dictator is a film buff believed to own a collection of around 20,000 videos. According to Wikipedia at least, Parker and Stone have sent him a gift reel of Team America.

North Korea Zone has an astonishing post about the contents of a 35-minute video that, if it is real, could be the first sign organised dissent against the Kim Jong Il regime. Reuters also reported on the video, which emerged yesterday in South Korea.
The emergence of this video follows last week’s release of videos purportedly filmed inside a North Korean prison camp.
