Well, we're in good company. The ban also covers: cognac, jet skis, Rolex watches, cars, and cigarettes.

Many of the items on the list are claimed to be the kind of luxuries enjoyed by North Korean leader Kim Jong II.

Funny. Cigarettes are deadly, but considered a luxury. huh.gif

i really don't think the north koreans care about banned iPods and Plasmas.
i may be young, but i do remember hearing about something called the Black Market
(which doesn't have anything to do with black thursday or friday or anything else black.)

Craig Ferguson did it again. He brought up the banning of the iPod for Kim Jung Il and he went on for several minutes with that theme. He said it might be good for Microsoft cause they could sell that "crappy knockoff, Zune."

The Ban will only raise the price, kim will have whatever he wants including weapons. We could ask him if he had one, but no one is speaking to him.
What do you want to bet, he gets some media coverage with and iPod, ear buds, butt in his mouth, taking a drink with one hand and giving a bird with the other. wink.gif

So that's what happened to our "Bing Hitler" aka Craig Ferguson. You guys have kidnapped him biggrin.gif

I was wondering why he hadn't been on the box over here for ages. You do realise that this has reduced the Partick Thistle home crowd by 50% biggrin.gif . Naughty Americans biggrin.gif

Kris, I saw that one. Yeah, as always, Craig was really funny with it! (Being that I get up way to early to stay up for his show, I now record him and watch at least his monologue the next night. biggrin.gif)
