| Post World Cup 2010 - North Korean Soccer Coach sent to manual labour camp
Damn - everyone joked this was going to happen...and it actually did.
North Korean Soccer Team Coach publicly shamed and then sent to 14-hour workday labour camps...
Jeez. Quote:
The 23-man roster – minus its two Japanese-based ringers, Jong “Weepy” Tae-se and An Yong-hak – was hauled up on stage in front of 400 attendees at the inaptly named People’s Palace of Culture.
The audience included a large number of university students and athletes, as well as high party officials.
For the next six hours, players were reprimanded for failures in their play, according to a jarring report from Radio Free Asia.
This included a damning player-by-player appraisal of individual mistakes in play, provided by the country’s leading sports broadcaster.
More alarmingly, they were accused of “betraying” the country in the “great ideological struggle.”
After the players received their collective rollicking, the team was then forced to round on its coach, Kim Jong-hun.
...
In recent months, North Korea has executed two top officials – one who oversaw a recent disastrous currency revaluation and another in charge of diplomatic talks with South Korea. Both were subjected to the same sort of accusations of treachery before they faced the firing squad.
Rumours abound that coach Kim has been expelled from the Worker’s Party and forced into the construction industry as a labourer.

^well..you can refuse to be a coach and get sent to labour camp, or become coach, and probably get sent to labour camp...
Either way, shitty deal alright

You know in the 80's, when we all watched cartoons and read comics where there was some fucked up individual who wanted to RULE THE WORLD, and you always wondered why they would want that, and what they would do if they succeeded? What would life be like if COBRA COMMANDER~! ruled the world?
It would be like North Korea.

If you google map North Korea, and turn on Satellite mode, you can see that there is virtually nothing there.

There are just no city names.
