Yeah, but I would run the risk of. "30 years hard labor for the man who looks crosseyed at the picture of the Dear Leader."

If I could go there and get Madeline Albright treatment, then we can talk.

Lol, I feel it, they'd probably either execute me for my deep hatred of their Kim cult religion, or they'd totally love me as I have a deep fondness for DPRK music and the hilarious propaganda and writing style of KCNA. Hard to tell sometimes, I'm leaning moreso towards they'd execute me or go too far in torturing me though because I wouldn't let them play me as a bargaining chip or confess to any of their false charges.

Witty Joke #1 that would land me in a DPRK concentration camp:

So the DPRK can no longer exist because....

"He who is without sin cast the first stone" It's easy to judge someone else's sin and in this case mistake. I don't think this guy really considered the consequences and had he "known" the law of the land I don't believe he would have stolen the poster. I just saw this guy on TV yesterday and he was crying inconsolably begging for mercy and forgiveness. We all have done stupid things in our lives and yes, this wasn't a smart thing to do in a communist country that hates Americans, but we can have a little empathy for this poor guy. 15 to 30 years of hard labor hardly fits the crime. This is like going to prison here for stealing a poster from a government building. It's not only not justified it's just plain wrong, but unfortunately for this guy these are the consequences. Let's pray for this young man instead of casting stones. This nightmare is not over for him and his family. I for one am shocked to some of the responses - there for the grace of God go we.

Ok. You're in a communist country who you know isn't exactly on the best terms with America. It might be a good idea to be on your best behavior

A better idea would not be there at all. Whatever possesed him to go there? Its hardly a major tourist destination and if he was there on business. I think I would find another business that deals with somewhere warm, sunny and sane.

I only imagine that a journey to North Korea would benefit someone if they study diplomacy/political science/insert liberal art relating to politics here.

If I could go there without risk of political imprisonment to simply observe and report, I would. Alas, there is no such guarantee and I have the Jewish instinct for self-preservation.

Quote "and I have the Jewish instinct for self-preservation"

That would be a funny line if it weren't so true. No one knows more than the Jews about self-preservation.

They are probably going to make him do more videos about how the supreme leader fed the hungry, clothed the naked, revamped the economy, is great at soccer, is NK's sexiest man, has the most billboards, owns the most media stations, and is generally flat out awesome along with the "ills" of western democracy....


The NK way of life for foreigners:....

You steal our flag...you do dishes with rag....
You try to subvert...we make you dig dirt...
You say you are free....we make you plant apple tree...
you think you are cool....we make you like fool....
you think you school jock....we make you break rock....
you call yourself otto....go back to your grotto...
this is our plan you must follow our motto...
