How wacky!No one inside North Korea would ever hear of this excess. Kim has banned mobile phones, newspapers, the internet and books. In 2004, he brought in a new criminal law, penalising anyone who tried to bring in outside music. Talking about his successor is banned too.
However, Kim is not technically in charge. His father, Kim Il-sung, who died suddenly of a heart attack in 1994, was proclaimed "Eternal President" and never replaced. Kim junior, who took up the post of General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and head of the National Defence Commission, simply expresses his deceased father's will.

I posted a clip of the monster movie he forced a kidnapped director to make.

He anticipated the USA PATRIOT Act, as well as S.O.P.A.!

Noble cinematic peasants are the same worldwide, aren't they?
And we happen to think no outside or "new" music is a good idea, Mr. "Freedom" Lover!
