Seriously? 3 billion quid and they can't hire someone who knows the difference between North and South Korea.
Way to go, make us all look like a hopeless bunch of amateurs!

Believe me there is no sense of humour back home in North Korea about this and it's highly likely the players would have faced some punishment possibly time in a gulag type camp if they hadn't walked off , probably regarded as treasonable behaviour in fact . They didn't have the luxury of shrugging their shoulders that players from more enlightened regimes would have have .

Yes, although it would have been a perfect stage to hold a protest in the way that the Zimbabwean cricketers Andy Flower and Henry Olonga did at the 2003 Cricket World Cup. Of course, the players may be supporters of the regime. But if they wanted to make a statement, then 2 days before the Opening Ceremony (when they can't be accused of grabbing the headlines from the actual sportsmen and women) would seem a perfect time.

I should imagine that the numpty who put the offending video package together has since been dragged into his bosses office, told to shut the door and don't sit down.

He then probably had a horoscope of his employment prospects in the immediate future read out to him before being sent on his way with his bosses boot leather up to the length of at least three lace-holes inserted firmly in his rectum.

What every aspiring Olympic video maker should get for Christmas.......
