This appears to be an advertisement for Dutch insurer Delta Lloyd Groep. It mocks North Korea a little. Quite funny:
Rain shows up at the studio for an after hours dance-off with Stephen. Colbert says, “Hey Rain, let me know when Korea lifts the embargo on balls.”
Now Kim Jong Il calls himself an internet expert. Funny chap. I believe he is the only one who can afford and is using the internet in North Korea. And it certainly brings whole new meaning to what they call “dedicated access”.
(Our Dear Leader Kim Jong Il!)
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Il called himself an ”Internet expert” during summit talks with South Korea’s president this week, a news report said Friday.
The reclusive leader made the remark after South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun asked that South Korean companies operating at an industrial park in the North Korean city of Kaesong be allowed to use the Internet, Yonhap news agency reported, without citing any source.
”I’m an Internet expert too. It’s all right to wire the industrial zone only, but there are many problems if other regions of the North are wired,” Kim told Roh, according to Yonhap.
Kim reportedly asked former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright for her e-mail address when she visited Pyongyang in 2000. A North Korean general cracked a joke about President Bush during high-level military talks with the South earlier this year, saying he read it on the Internet.
The North’s leader is also a big fan of South Korean movies and TV dramas, and Roh gave him a bookcase of South Korean DVDs as a gift this week.

Internet is so useful these days. Sure it has many side effects but the advantages outweighs them.
Kim Jong Il is know to drink US$650,000 worth of Hennessy and Cognac in just a year.

Ahh, there’s a new MMORPG for everyone. Lunia, Record of the Lunia War starts its open beta today. I looked at the videos, browsed through some screenshots. The games looks attractive and promising. The difference with this MMORPG is that it is kinda action arcade style which is something new in MMORPG. Everything that’s new always welcomed.
So if you’re feeling a little adventurous, you can give this game a try. Check out the in game video. Below is a screenshot of the game:

I am afraid that I don’t have time to venture into an MMORPG at the moment. I’ll just post it and perhaps someone would find it fun to play.
World leader in GunBound kidnapped and he is not surrenderring his user account. How strong willed. Maybe he knows the kidnappers are just a bunch of childish kids - which they are by the way.
Gang Kidnaps Gamer to Get Password Using Fake Orkut Date
An armed gang of four kidnapped one of the world’s top RPG gamers after one criminal’s girlfriend lured him into a fake date using Orkut, Google’s social network. After sequestering him in Sao Paulo, they held a gun against the victim’s head for five hours to get his password, which they wanted to sell for $8,000.
The group leader had a gun against his head all that time but the guy didn’t say a word. At that point, the crooks gave up and decided to let him go. The brazilian police then caught the four suspects, aged 19 to 27.
According to the police, the captive is the world leader in GunBound, a turn-based RPG-style multiplayer online game. Developed in South Korea, in this artillery game you get more experience points, offensive and defensive capabilities depending on your skills during battle, as well as money to buy more weapons, armor and all kinds of gear for your multiple avatars. You can only play with one of your avatars each time, but all of them belong to a single account. (more…)
This is a parody of Kim Jong Il.
Extra 3 - Super Kim
I’m not sure what language is this. It sounds like German language. A translation would be great. But from what I can understand, Kim love Cognac. Everyone’s hungry and he seems blissfully unaware. Then he trades nuclear weapon for Cognac. Great work Kim!
Saw this at Flickr - a really strange toilet sign found in Korea.
The sign is spotted in Seoul, Korea. Ahh, we all know that the guy is merely doing some chin ups, nothing wrong with that.
Have you guys noticed that Singapore’s toilet signs are getting more and more creative? The toilets are too. They’re all trying to be unconventional and I just can’t wait to see those Plaza Singapura toilets installed in our neighborhood hawker centers.
