[quote]BUSINESSMEN TRICK NORTH KOREA
THEY are Brisbane’s own international men of mystery.
Cushman & Wakefield associate director Morgan Ruig and Nodad Design & Construct director Evan Shay, who have been mates since their Brisbane Boys College days, can now say they’ve represented Australia in golf and pulled the wool over the world’s most secretive state ... sort of.
The pair were in Beijing playing polo when they heard about the seventh annual North Korean Golf Championships.
Morgan says they applied to play in the championship as the Australian Golf team and were accepted by the Stalinist state’s authorities.
“They didn’t check. We went over under the guise of the Australian Golf team but they quickly realised we weren’t after the first tee-off,” he says.[/quote]

Imagine working out a deal with North Korea where you fly over and purposely fail in their tournaments.

My girlfriend showed me a documentary on NK a few weeks back, and you'd be surprised how many of the people understand to a degree that their leader is batshit insane. It's not that they are brainwashed to love him and worship him, but they just fear him.
Generally though they are very kind loving people. In one part of the doct NK soldiers took a break and played with the reporters and kids and stuff.
It's funny how we sit here and make jokes about NK, but forget that those people in there are just like us, living breathing humans.
How could they play golf with their massive titanium balls in the way
Believe it or not, I went to school with these two guys, certainly not the most intelligent to say the least.
Constantly fucked around in school and were the quintessential bully type.
Regardless, nice to see a familiar face in the news :P

Well nobody ever makes jokes about NK citizens, only about the NK government\good ol' Kim.
The Story is made up according to CNN.
