BS: No Ipods for N. Korea

In one of the most daringly original moves the US has made to discipline North Korea, we've placed an embargo on Ipods. That should show 'em.

You just don't understand guys!

The US (or at least the grey-faced men*** running it!) don;t want any of their money-making friends to lose money over embargoes you see - so by making an embargo on nothing that they sell there, they can make an effective Symbolic Political Statement (hereinafter referred to as a 'SPS') with no collateral damage.


*** You really will just HAVE to read 'The Illuminati Trilogy' books, won't you!

This was reported a week ago, here at the 'cat (HERE).

No one seemed to be interested then.

Another story about the Russins and their DRM a couple of posts later in the same thread wasn't interesting either.
