I think it could be very interesting. It would be an opportunity for North Korea to show the world a little of there country and that they can hospitable to visitors. A lot gets written about Kim Jong Ill and North Korea but I've never really seen anything of the place.

Holy shit, that's got more spin than Fox News during an election! Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet Hitler? I'll take it! Which train do I get on... Nothing says eco-friendly transportation like a fully-tuned-to-the-scrotum 911 or Murcielago, either! And I thought A-team plotlines were a little removed from reality.

Is it April 1st again already? Or is Jalop soon getting a quick cameo visit from Ashton Kutcher?

Ugh. Clearly Max Mosley and Bernie Ecclestone must be running some some sort of American Idol-like contest to find their collective heir to the title Most Inane Chief Loony Of A Motorsport Event.

Umm... to quote the State Department:

"Attention: U.S. citizens will need a U.S. Treasury Department license in order to engage in any transactions related to travel to and within North Korea."

I really don't think you're going to get a yes on that request.

It's gonna be a rong, rong, ronrey night in Pyongyang...personally, I can't believe that they would mention Team America (One of the funniest movies of all time) in comparison to a visit...does this jackass have a press person? Someone who reads his email before it goes out? Guess not...must be to DIFFERCULT to find a Gumball staffer that can type.
