A Victory for Future Generations
By: Bob | September 26th, 2006
Remember the plucky women from North Korea who captured the U-20 world championship this summer and in the process brought light to their fellow countrymen?
Well, the North Korean state-run news agency (KCNA) wants to assure you that these women are receiving their just desserts from the country’s president for bringing glory to their nation.
“Kim Jong-il bestowed high honour upon (the) young women footballers and presented them with such gifts which they would hand down through generations as deluxe cars and buses and flats,” KCNA said.
The players demonstrated their “transparent spirit of devotedly defending the leader (Kim),” trumpeted KCNA, as well as the “spirit of defending the country and the spirit of waging dynamic ideological and fighting spirit battles.”
Forget the whole ideological triumph thing for a second. They received buses that they can pass down through the generations. How cool is that!
