Shock and Awesome Interview 12/23/11 – Sue Terry on North Korea
Sue Terry is a Senior Research Scholar at Columbia University. She has spent time at the CIA and NSC (National Security Council) and CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) working on policy and political developments in Northeast Asia and North Korea. To put it plainly, she knows enough about the situation on the Korean peninsula that US Presidents seek her advice.
We were lucky enough to track Sue down a few days ago and ask her pressing questions about the passing of Kim-Jong-Il. Mainly we wanted to settle a bar bet. Could Kim-Jong-Il be considered the greenest dictator on the planet? The Tux claims that he could. It is well documented by the reliable German news source Der Sphincter that the man did not defecate. That means that he never personally put any greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Also, Kim-Jong-Il had a fear of flying so he took an armored train everywhere. Again, saving fossil fuels! KJI always wanted to be a movie star but it seems he simply missed his opportunity. Instead of kidnapping US journos Laura Ling and Euna Lee for attention he should have called Albert Arnold Gore Jr. and starred in “An inconvenient truth” as the future of human evolution. Imagine a world without flatulence and irritable bowel syndrome. A world where people are no longer tied to their toilets and you never again have to hold your breath while peeing after being exposed to the most toxic haze of unfriendly gas in a bar bathroom. Forget that North Korea under KJI regularly tormented South Korea and the rest of Asia with its bottle rocket nuclear program. Forget that the man flew in fresh lobsters and caviar to meet his train regularly while his people ate coal for three meals a day. We just lost a man who reached singularity of the colon. Ray Kurzweil, eat your heart out!
