Biz: North Korea + News Corp.: Evil forces converge on The Dude again
- What happened? This wonderful pre-iPhone mobile game to the left is called of “Big Lebowski Bowling,” and it came out way back in 2007. A similar game based on “Men In Black” was also released. The notable thing about the game isn’t so much that it exists, but the distributor is Nosotek, based in North Korea and focusing on distributing North Korean software. That’s right, Dude, they peed on your fucking rug.
- Why this is badFirst of all, it means that developers in volatile North Korea are getting more adept. Also, it means that News Corp. indirectly gave money to the North Korean government through a developer. The UN says it’s legal, but the U.S. thinks it’s bad for diplomatic policy. Here’s what Kim Jong Il told us personally in an exclusive interview: “Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.” source
