So some 21-year-old American guy named Otto something got in shit in North Korea recently for taking a propaganda poster as a souvenir. He was sentenced to 15 years hard labour for it.
As much as I try, I can't seem to muster any sympathy for the guy. He went touring in a country known for being hostile towards Americans and generally fucked up. He went to this fucked up country and stole something. Fifteen years hard labour is stupidity tax as far as I'm concerned.
And yes, I'd feel the same way if he was Canadian.

YEP!!
Bill Richardson is working on his release. That guy will back in the states.
Is North Korea using the young man to get something out of the USA?
I wasn't under that impression. I think they are punishing him North Korea style.
I wonder what he would have recieved if he'd put UP a poster????
