So this American chap who's been sentenced to 15 years hard labour in North Korea...

...you have to imagine he's probably thinking that maybe that extreme hipster holidays to brutally repressive police states aren't quite the great idea he thought they were when he was telling his mates about his plans, don't you?

[Snin]

he will be ulta hipster then imo maaaaaan plus he should come out pretty ripped and lean imo..will be fit asa fiddle

There are other Americans there forced to accept similar fates, yet we don't hear about it.

Why do I suspect that this is some sort of gambit by the Dear Leader? The ratings potential for this "real" sort of Reality TV show are enormous.

21 year old, innocent and happy kid goes to DPRK on a lark. Gets rung up. 15 years of hard labor. Hilarity ensues.

They can make him do all sorts of body contortions, eat disgusting things, etc. SOLID GOLD!

Will teach these yanks that you have to respect local culture wherever you go imo.

I think you will find he was just a mental.

[Ganpati's Goonerz--AFC's Aboriginal Fertility Cult]

all the hard work.

Many of them are, I believe. Mormons and so on.

An odd lot, by and large.

I was a bit pissed off that even the Beeb only had some on radio - nothing on telly.

Or will yank telly only start commemorations in 2017? You must have done something about the Lusitania, no?

I mean, I'm sure Bratfud isnt your epicentre of Mormon conversions but he doesnt give a monkeys. I've walked past him every day for a month and he's not spoken a word.

Which is a shame as I'd dearly love him to take me through Mormonism on a step by step basis. It makes Scientology seem plausible in comparison.

It's hard to feel too much sympathy, tbh.

Indeed, I read something today about some prisoner being fed to the guards' dogs and thought 'Fair's fair. Swings and roundabouts'.

Snake to be precise.

The precursor to the mail was to drink 3 shots, tradition etc, you don’t want to disrespect the locals.

Shot 1 was rice wine (I think) with snake blood.
Shot 2 was rice wine with snake bile.
Shot 3 was the still beating snakes heart, which upon consumption (naturally because he did not chew the f**ker) the television bloke could feel moving in his tummy.


Dirty *******s basically.

Type of **** I suspect Sir C gets up to on his quarterly jaunts to the Far East.

[Berni]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I rather like the idea.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I don't even like snakebite.
