Team America: World Police now needs a new bad guy.

Since 1994, the nation of North Korea has suffered under the reign of tyrannical dictator Kim Jong-Il, the son of the founder of North Korea, Kim Il Song, and the widely reviled yet widely mocked figure at the head of one of the most insular communist nations on the map.  All dictatorships enforce quiet with the outside world, but North Korea is essentially a ghost nation.  No one really knows what goes on within that country’s borders, but some news still gets out.  The latest news out of the People’s Republic of North Korea?  Kim Jong Il, the self-styled supreme leader of North Korea, is dead at age 69.

Since the death of Song in 1994 from a heart attack, Kim Jong-Il has pretty much turned North Korea into one of the poorest countries on earth thanks to a restricted economy, little outside trading, and a global stand-off with the rest of the world over North Korea’s desire to become a nuclear power while millions of its people starve to death.  All the while, there’s KJI, obsessing over Michael Jordan while wearing giant granny glasses, bouffanting his hair, and wearing elevator shoes in an attempt to look adult-sized while trying to pay off North Korea’s debts with ginseng.

Kim Jong-Il’s son, Kim Jong-un, is believed to be the next in line to rule the country, but your guess is as good as mine as to whether or not this will actually happen.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
