Who knew the Koreans would take offense? The North Koreans aren't too busy restarting their plutonium reprocessing plants or violating the DMZ to register their outrage at the latest Bond flick, according to this story in the Washington Post. I suppose the idea of a 007 "boycott" in the Democratic People's Republic is suitably ironic, but what I've never understood is the inscrutible South Korean pseudo-allegiance to their lunatic Communist brethren in the North. If a big chunk of America was controlled by a weird alien society with a bizarre government and culture --- oh, wait, I get it. It's like how we feel about California.
