Meet Jimmy Dushku, the lone American followed by North Korea on Twitter - Polidicks

[QUOTE]article: [url]http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/north-korea-lone-american-twitter-article-1.1241103[/url] [IMG]http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.1240498.1358353089!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_635/follow16n-2-web.jpg[/IMG] Scrolling through the list of people followed by North Korea’s official Twitter account doesn’t take long — there are only three. But one sticks out like a sore thumb. It’s 25-year-old Jimmy Dushku from Austin, Tex. He’s the only American the regime follows on its Twitter account, launched in 2010, and Dushku — an online alias, not his real name — has no idea why. “I used to think maybe they don’t even know how to use Twitter the appropriate way,” he told CBS News. “If you look at their account, they favorited one of their own tweets,” he said, citing one of the social network’s known faux-pas. The other two accounts North Korea follows are propaganda-related. The repressed country’s handle is @uriminzokkiri, which means “our nation” in Korean. It has more than 13,000 followers. Dushku suspects it was all a mistake. He’s an average guy who loves fast cars and loud music, he says. “I’ve been called the biggest Coldplay fan,” he told CBS News. “If you Google it, I’m the first thing that shows up, my web page.” A rep for the young entreprenuer says he's been using the name "Jimmy Dushku" online for years. He declined to share his real name. Dushku doesn’t speak Korean or have any previous ties to the regime. While he once entertained the idea of being followed by North Korea — even once tweeting “have a nice day” at the account — Dushku is fed up with the attention now. He’s received death threats, been accused of being a spy and his personal information has been leaked online. “People talk about getting death threats and all that, but when it happens to you, it’s very personal,” Dushku said. “I can’t explain the feeling but it made me change everything. I’ve been so cautious.” Google chairman Eric Schmidt recently wrapped up a trip to North Korea in which he urged the country to allow its citizens Internet access. [/QUOTE] He kind of seems dumbfounded by the whole thing. I guess it's kind of weird when an evil dictator starts following you on twitter.

That is one tacky bow tie.

My only issue with the bow tie is that I suspect it's probably not bow tied. It's also too small. [editline]17th January 2013[/editline] Seriously though who are the fucking idiots sending this poor guy death threats?

Maybe he wore the US bow tie so people wouldn't think he is a NK spy.
