Rupert Murdoch Publishes North Korean Flash Games
eldavojohn writes "You might recall back in June when it was noted that North Korea was developing and exporting flash games. Now, the isolated nation state is apparently home to some game developers that are being published by a subsidiary of News Corp. (The games include Big Lebowski Bowling and Men In Black). Nosotek Joint Venture Company is treading on thin ice in the eyes of a few academics and specialists that claim the Fox News owner is 'working against US policy.' Concerns grow over the potential influx of cash, creating better programmers that are then leveraged into cyberwarfare capabilities. Nosotek said that 'training them to do games can't bring any harm.' The company asserts its innocence, though details on how much of the games were developed in North Korea are sparse. While one of the poorest nations in the world could clearly use the money, it remains to be seen if hardliner opponents like the United States will treat Nosotek (and parent company News Corp.) as if they're fostering the development of computer programmers inside the DPRK. The United Nations only stipulates that cash exchanged with companies in the DPRK cannot go to companies and businesses associated with military weaponry or the arms trade. Would you feel differently about Big Lebowski Bowling if you knew it was created in North Korea?"

When the chinaman pisses on the rug at gamestart, do they insert a South Korean?
When the foot seeks the place of the head, the line is crossed. Know your place. Keep your place. Be a shoe.
People enter the US illegally all the time. The buy/rent houses. Get jobs with faked or stolen SS numbers. Pop out babies that become automatic citizens. For the most part they are not hunted down and sentenced to 12 years in prison.
Fucking lefty. Get it right. You can not run around and defend long prison sentences for crossing a border and use the US as a fucking example.
Are you brain dead?
Why is it so hard to only have politicians for a few years, then have them go away?
Not to mention that the supposedly jihadist Saudi prince who is the bogeyman in Fox News' account of the "ground zero mosque" is never named because he is a close business associate of Rupert Murdoch with connections to the Bush family. Prince Alwaleed bin Talal is never mentioned by name, because a quick google search would show he owns 7% of ... Fox News.
So, by the Fox News argument that we should oppose the Cordoba House project because it is funded by jihadists, we should boycott Fox News because its revenues *go into the pockets of the very same alleged jihadists*.
Of course that argument is dependent on the assumption that Prince Alwaleed supports Al Qaeda, for which there is no evidence, whether you are trying to draw a connection between Cordoba House and Al Qaeda or Murdoch and Al Qaeda. It's all bullshit which none of the people who matter take seriously.

What I am saying is that idiots that believe that North Korea is just another country. No better no worse than others is a fucking left wing nut job. So I pointed out the inconsistancy of that type of thought.
So. Yes. I am serious.
