World of Warcraft In the Axis of Evil

Kotaku is running a piece by Wagner James Au, discussing the place World of Warcraft has in 'The Axis of Evil'. From the article: "Then again, there's little reason to think the ban was enforced much at all. Veteran WoW players tell me they often raid with folks who say they are Coalition troops in Iraq who've cleverly hacked around military firewalls to log in. And while it's doubtful that anyone but Kim Jung-Il and his geek cronies could log into World of Warcraft from North Korea, there's still an embargo on Iran."

The same countries that call for the US's destruction or want to see Israel and the Jews wiped off the map have no problem enjoying the products, technology and entertainment of those countries.

I love seeing those Iranian students screaming "Death To America" yet dressed just like American teenagers, no doubt influenced by the American movies and television shows they pirated.
