US Kills North Korean iPod Sales To Spite Kim Jong
In an effort to sanction North Korea via luxury items, the US is engaging in the first ever effort to "personally aggravate a foreign president" by targeting items he personally enjoys. The list includes, besides the iPod: cognac, Rolex watches, cigarettes, artwork, expensive cars, Harley Davidson motorcycles or even personal watercraft, such as Jet Skis. The new ban would extend even to music and sports equipment. Besides those, the leader enjoys: Mercedes, BMW and Cadillac cars; Japanese and Harley Davidson motorcycles; Hennessy XO cognac from France and Johnny Walker Scotch whisky; Sony cameras and Japanese air conditioners. Who doesn't? '" Jason Chen U.S. bans sale of iPods to North Korea [Freep]

Sale of iPods, Other Electronics To North Korea
Looks like you won't be able to purchase iPods, plasma TVs and other such fancy electronics in North Korea anymore. The U.S. government wants to ban the shipment of so-called luxury items to North Korea mainly to piss off Kim Jong Il, the country's leader. It's thought to be the first time in history where economic sanctions were drawn up simply to upset a foreign leader. USA all the way, baby. While it's true that the average North Korean pretty much has no chance in hell of buying the things we take for granted, Kim is known to enjoy things like our iPods and our Hollywood movies. (And here I thought he had good taste.) Wonder if he uses prefers a Zune to an iPod or is an Apple fanboy? '" Nicholas Deleon U.S. Bans Sale of IPods to North Korea [AP]
