"but will it hold my entire Boney M collection, groovy cat?"

here's the blurb..

Kim Jong-il is to have his access to iPods and other desirable gadgets cut off as part of US efforts to target sanctions directly at the North Korean leader and his power base. Aside from his own personal use, Kim is said to use gifts of Western consumer goods to reward loyal government officials. So, the apparent US State Dept logic goes, restricting his access to such goods will help to erode his power base.

Aside from iPods, a list of items targeted by the US and obtained by the Associated Press, includes Rolex watches, cognac, luxury cars and plasma-screen televisions. Other items on the list are cigarettes, works of art, Harley Davidson motorbikes and even jet skis.

The list of sanctions specifically aimed at the Kim Jong-il government is part of the US response to North Korea's nuclear weapon test on October 9.

Santion, whatever; but what I want to know is, what does Comrade Kim listen to on his pink iPod while doing his aerobics? I just bet he's into mid '70s disco, apparently he's a big Abba fan. Brezhnev used to be partial to Nancy Sinatra, so the story goes.
