Now I understand if you want to giggle and move on or just ignore the rest of the post as you are sick om my ability (or should I say inalienable right) to embed clips into my blog posts. However, I wish to take this one step further by taking one step back and thinking about how the lovely country of North Korea can actually understand how much we make fun of them as they don't have the luxury of the intarwebs the way we do. As I lay on the bathroom floor after waking up from a good nights sleep on a bed made of fluffy Target brand towels with the water running to make sure I do not get disturbed, it hit me. They still get to watch their team play in the World Cup. This means that the only way to let them know how much we make fun of them is to use signs in the crowd. Now, now, now don't think I mean a single person holding a limp poster board with sharpie writing they can't understand. I am thinking of synchronized flipping of color panels that when done on a large enough scale can become a YouTube window. For a better understanding of what I am talking about please watch this video about a dudes trip to North Korea as a tourist, or just skip to the last 2 minutes about the "mass games."
With a little imagination it is not hard to see what I have in mind, but I will explain it anyways. When the US plays North Korea in the World Cup we must enlist unemployed recent College graduates to make the man made YouTube monitor. I have embedded some useful propaganda to aid in recruiting (I mean comon, this is North Korea we are talking about).
Now if all this goes according to plan, the lyrics of "Needle in the Hay" will stop playing endlessly in my head as I shower/meditate fetal and naked every new day.
Cheers, Senators!
North Korea can't watch their team play in the World Cup in their country on tv until after it has been deemed okay by their leaders. Nor can they even go to the games themselves:

Also, the chances of the USA playing them are highly unlikely. What would be really amazing, but equally less likely, would be for South Korea to play them.
Either way, Nero highlights and important fact here, that we Senators must acknowledge. That is the freedom for the Senate to even exist.
God bless this free United States and God help us from the socialist Obama, each speech he makes is one step closer to the USA hiring Canadians to pose as fans in the next World Cup.
Touche, my fellow Senator! I did not do my homework on the ability for the North Koreans to view my man made youtube window. I wont fail again, it probably has something to do with my view as a embedded youtube window as an inalienable right as a Senator (terrible hubris on my part). Thank you for the beautiful article on Chinese volunteers who pose as North Korean fans, it really brings home the fact that this luxury of the Senate is very much that - a luxury. I have heard from a from a fellow Senator about the same kind of activity in China, that is hiring ex-pats to pose as working businessmen to give the company atmosphere a more "international" feel.

I swear to all Senators I will not fail and bring a misinformed information to the blessed Senate floor again. My apologies.
Guys, like, if Kim-Jong was a landlord in brooklyn do you think he'd be cool or a total bust? I bet he'd be cool. I bet he'd probably invite you up to the roof and offer a beer or two on the couches he set up there.
ReplyDeleteNero,
ReplyDeleteThe real question is:
Did you screen cap and circle that google search or did you find the picture from an image search already circled?
No that's not from some google search, that's homemade photo-shop-goodness. After I had three or four existential deaths upon discovering the auto-complete, I had my handy Windows 7 (THANKS MICROSOFT) print screen tool and cropped accordingly. I mean comon Senator, look at what high resolution it has.
ReplyDeleteI watched The Road last night with my brother.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to admit how many times i've rewatched the Funk Army piece, jeez
