You've read all the strategies for countering Kim Jong Il: Everybody ends diplomatic relations (fat chance); cut off his fuel (tell that to Hugo); kick him out of the UN (is that a bad thing?) ... 

Here's a more realistic idea. Dictators thrive on ego -- you know, the huge posters, looming statues, everything designed to create the illusion that some schmuck is larger than life.

So counter his own propoganda with some of our own: Drop 100,000 DVD players into North Korea, each loaded with a copy of "Team America: World Police," which shows Kim as the whiny-voiced cockroach that he is. Equip each player with a battery so it can be used by anyone without electricity (like the 200,000 people in concentration camps who probably don't get to see many movies).

The Team will provide the inspiration the North Korean people need, and it won't be long before they rise up and say: "Take that, terrorist!"
