I just have to wonder how the developers got the necessary permission from Kim and Dennis to use their likenesses and how much of a cut they get from the game sales.

Did anyone else thought of the CollegeHumor Kim Kim Un especially during the unicorn mount and basketball player partner scenes?
You might want to be a little less sensitive, pointing out a simple hypocrisy isn't anti Americanism or butt hurt. A good definition of butt hurt would be getting upset and believing that a whole nation hates you when it really doesn't, British and America have always had cultural ties and I have never seen any widespread directed anti Americanism at all (there will always be some however).Johnny Wishbone said:
Criticism =/= anti Americanism
While I have no problem whatsoever with the content in theory, I am legitimately concerned that North Korea's state media will simply pick this up and represent it as being Pro-NK and Anti-American regardless of what is in it, and will likely claim it to be based entirely on actual events.
Yes, that includes the Unicorn.
Never underestimate the capability for self-deception of those living in a police state governed by a cult of personality.

This conversation would make a lot more sense if the United States (and Britain) was a democracy. The fact is, regular Americans and regular Brits have very close to zero control over what the powerful people do in their own countries. So regular Americans being offended because someone makes a game making fun of the decisions made by powerful Americans is illogical.Johnny Wishbone said:
America isn't a "team", where institutions in Washington D.C., New York City, LA, and the like are the coach. America is a slave colony, where powerful institutions have impunity to use and abuse their own population (some more than others) in the quest to maximize control and profit (for them, not for us) in a slowly dying world.
Dragons are a great analogy - dragons don't need to get along with humans and certainly don't help them. Humans are slaves and/or food, and dragons who can take on human form and fool the humans into believing they are one of them (Obama, as opposed to Bush) don't even need to fear humans. Only an aware, brave, and organized human force can even challenge a dragon, much less defeat one.
Well... the Fox News crowd will doubtless decry this as the worst thing to come into existence since Obama... As an American with an actual functioning brain AND sense of humor, I think it's pretty damned hilarious.
