1. This is old news

Besides, the North Korean team had plenty of supporters by the end of their match with Brazil. They played incredibly well.

2. I just heard of this yesterday. That falls into the 72 hour cycle of acceptable discussion.

Apparently you haven't heard of the timetable?

lol...


anyhow, is it any surprise that even "fans" are yet another Chinese commodity they'll sell you/your company/your govt???

They have so many people over there, they will send over a million for $50 a head, just so we take them off their hands.

3. What does their nationality have to do with anything?

[Divine Discontent]

4. you're joking, right?

[MrCoffee]

6. No. What does the fact that the actors are Chinese have to do with anything?

The story is that North Korea has to buy "fans" because their own citizens are forbidden to travel/too poor to travel to South Africa for the Cup.

Why does the nationality of the actors matter in the slightest?

7. correct, that would be the SK side of the story, the Chinese side of it is apparently missed by you.

5. Somewhat like Congress, except for the Chinese part and the

soccer thing.
