Do you know me?

Further to the Marmot’s post below, the NIS flash game gives you this as an example of somebody suspicious:

Walkie-talkie, shirt, and the Juche books….hilarious. I think we need a flash mob in front of the NIS. Something like this.

UPDATE: The NIS says the jokes were intentional, and encouraged web users to link to the game, with the promise of prizes. I just hope those prizes are I love Kim Jong-il t-shirts. Now THAT would be funny.

4 Robert Koehler June 25, 2009 at 10:34 am: I can assure you that pulling a flash mob in front of NIS would NOT be absolutely hilarious, especially if NIS determined said flash mob originated from a post on this blog.
5 Dram_man June 25, 2009 at 10:39 am: Er…yes, wasn’t it obvious it was a joke? Besides where are we going to get enough 80′s era Walkie-talkies?
6 bumfromkorea June 25, 2009 at 11:15 am: Isn’t that a picture of basically everyone in Berkeley, CA?

Whoa, that was unexpectedly conservative of me…

This must be an NIS joke I hope.
8 Mizar5 June 25, 2009 at 12:51 pm: Young Koreans may not actually say they “love” Kim Jeong Il, it is amazing how many I’ve heard make deferential statements about him – that they regard him as smart, deflect blame for his erratic behaviors onto the US, etc. I think that there is an inevitable degree of sympathy with him by some based on”race”, ie. Koreanness based nationalism, and wishful thinking relating to unification. Some expressed pride in his development of nuclear weapons, for example. These folks are not spies, but have had these feelings cultivated by people who might as well be. I think we all know who they are.
9 Zonath June 25, 2009 at 2:00 pm: Apparently, NIS must believe that mad cow-tainted beef has made all the spies from North Korea into short bus riders.
10 SomeguyinKorea June 25, 2009 at 4:47 pm: The message on the T-shirt should probably be, “USA Fucking!” instead. Is that supposed to be a walkie talkie or a really old cell phone? LOL
11 R. Elgin June 26, 2009 at 12:34 pm: Per the update — The NIS guys had to have intentionally meant this to be a joke because the real security problems are the ones they do not put on the web.
