Dear Leader Upset at Film's Depiction
Surprisingly, North Korea is upset about Team America.
The caricature of North Korea's "Dear Leader", Kim Jong-Il, in the film, "Team America: World Police," is striking a discordant note among North Korean officials, and probably their supreme leader himself, despite his well-known love for private viewings of foreign movies.
Sometimes the truth hurts, Kim.
A Czech newspaper, Lidove Noviny, reports that a North Korean diplomat complained that the film "harms the image of our country." He was even quoted as saying, "Such behavior is not part of our country's political culture."
Apparently rampant starvation
doesn't hurt the image of his country.
In related news, Michael Moore was also upset about his role in the film, joining international Islamo-fascists, the Film Actors Guild and their members Hollywood and the French.
America, F*ck Yeah!

Presumably, Matt Stone and Trey Parker are very upset that others have taken offense and are currently drafting apologies...
