'Team America' unsettles Team Kim in Pyongyang
2005-02-09
The caricature of North Korea's "Dear Leader", Kim Jong-Il, in the film, "Team America: World Police," is striking a discordant note among North Korean officials, and probably their supreme leader himself, despite his well-known love for private viewings of foreign movies.
OK, we called it here first on Rantburg that Kinny was sulking because of Team America. Looks like it's true.
Word from Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, is that the North Korean embassy there is asking the government to ban the film, the creation of Trey Parker and Matt Stone of South Park fame. The Czech Foreign Ministry, however, said the North Koreans had been rebuffed in their effort to undermine the Czech Republic's post-Communist era freedom. The film shows marionettes attempting to stop Kim Jong-Il from destroying cities around the globe.
And not one Oscar nomination! It's a outrage!
A Czech newspaper, Lidove Noviny, reports that a North Korean diplomat complained that the film "harms the image of our country." He was even quoted as saying, "Such behavior is not part of our country's political culture."

#15  Thanks BigEd. I thought Penn did some silly shit like that. He's just pissed because Stone/Parker said what most of us think, and deep down Penn knows it. The best part of the letter is when he signs off w/a p.s. about taking them to Fallujah like he's been in the war zone, lmao. What a typical pathetic self-absorbed holly wood cheese-dick ole Penny is.

I want to buy it before it gets banned for being 'politically Incorrect'.

#5  I LMAO at that film. Pure genius. Especially when they clowned on the card carrying members of "F.A.G."

I think Sean Penn wrote Parker and Stone some whiney ass letter about their insensitivity, I'm sure they wiped their ass w/it.

Yes, those North Koreans whod love the film would suffer the same fate as poor Laci Peterson did at the hands of her evil "husband".
