Kim Jong-il, the Supreme Leader of North Korea, has banned all live coverage of World Cup football matches from his state-run television stations and only highlights of North Korea’s victories will be broadcast.
This ruling means that North Korea’s population of 29 million won’t be able to find out who takes home the greatest prize in international football, unless the cup is won by 350-1 outsiders North Korea.
Games played between other nations will be banned altogether and any highlights of North Korea’s matches, that are not censored outright, will be heavily edited to make them look the better team.
South Africa 2010 is the first World Cup tournament North Korea has qualified for since 1966.

Nuke it!
Overlooked the population 29 million, didn't you?
but how will they know what happens to the rest of the world? oh wait, he doesnt seem to give a shit
mean guy
be careful when you comment to this post.. he might track you and nuke u..
If they can do that, might as well edit the match as though North Korean team wins the cup.
Blow this useless POS off the planet. Total disregard for anything/one but himself.
Where are our trained assassins? Send a couple of those guys in and free NK. The world would be a better place with scum like him gone.
Are you guys idiots? Do you know what will happen if NK is free? It would ruin South korea's economy and probably safety, with all the poor people coming down from north korea, there will be chaos everywhere. I'm not korean btw, i'm just the type of person who likes to THINK ahead before doing something so stupid.
I would like to see those edited North Korea highlights when they get trashed by the top seed team in their group. It'll look funny. Hope they get leaked online (yeah, right!). Or at least someone makes a spoof of NK state television highlights.
Ronery, I am so Ronery.
@chester if we killed that guy we would have another afghanistan on our hands
I may be me, but doesn't anyone else think this guy looks like the psychic woman from Poltergeist?
