It’s going to be pretty difficult getting your favourite Asian despot a Christmas present this year. The U. S. Government has issued a list of a number of banned items that cannot be sold, to any address in North Korea. It’s kind of like a State Department naughty boy; get no toy policy we assume.
Included on the banned in Pyongyang list include: iPods, Plasma televisions, caviar, Rolex watches, Harley Davidson motorcycles, jet skis, cigarettes or expensive cars to name but a few .
It’s just the beginning of a plan to put some more pressure on the reclusive North Korean leader, who apparently enjoys those capitalistic touches, while his subjects toil in brutal poverty, scrambling to find food, let alone worrying about how to download the latest tune from the iStore.
Interestingly enough the State Department has also banned the sale of the Segway, those personal power transportation machines which few so far have bought, and fewer seem to use.
This could possibly be a mistake, considering the numerous health issues associated with elderly people, including a certain world leader we know tumbling off the machines at the risk of life and limb, the Segway could be the CIA’s best bet to rid the world of one third of the old Axis of Evil.
Considering King Jong’s love of James Bond movies, it shouldn’t be too hard to rig up a Segway to do what countless UN resolutions can’t seem to manage.
