A LESSON FROM ‘TEAM AMERICA’ ON WHAT’S WRONG WITH THE UN
I recently watched “Team America: World Police,” which although was full of needless vulgarity (another point they were trying to make, I think), make some very good, and funny, observations. I do wonder why it take a satirical comedy with dolls to drive home the point about the UN. As a Korea-watcher, this is a classic scene;
Kim Jong Il: Hans Brix? Oh no! Oh, herro. Great to see you again, Hans!
Hans Blix: Mr. Il, I was supposed to be allowed to inspect your palace today, but your guards won’t let me enter certain areas.
Kim Jong Il: Hans, Hans, Hans! We’ve been frew this a dozen times. I don’t have any weapons of mass destwuction, OK Hans?
Hans Blix: Then let me look around, so I can ease the UN’s collective mind.
Kim Jong Il: Han, you’re breakin’ my balls here Hans! You’re breakin’ my balls.
Hans Blix: I’m sorry, but the UN must be firm with you. Let me see your whole palace, or else.
Kim Jong Il: Or else what?
Hans Blix: Or else we will be very, very angry with you… and we will write you a letter, telling you how angry we are. [emphasis added]
Kim Jong Il: OK. I’ll show you Hans. You ready? Stand to your reft.
Hans Blix: [Moves to the left]
Kim Jong Il: A rittle more.
Hans Blix: [Moves to the left again]
Kim Jong Il: Good. [Opens up trap, Hans falls in, is eaten by a shark]
There is a video clip (R-Rated) of the scene, or listen to the MP3 (PG).
