      So what happens if Elton John ever goes to court ?

          So he forms a 5 part girl band and when they start filming themselves performing sex acts on each other he executes them?

          How did somebody that stupid get to be in charge of anything.
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            I could tell you, but then you'd have to go for a walk in the woods alone and commit suicide

              His dad wasn't much better, and his granddad was a bit of a nutter too. Just make sure people are too hungry to rebel.

                "If these people had only made pornographic videos, then it is simply not believable that their punishment was execution," Toshimitsu Shigemura, a professor at Tokyo's Waseda University and an authority on North Korean affairs, told The Daily Telegraph.
                "They could have been made to disappear into the prison system there instead.
                "There is a political reason behind this," he said, suggesting that the groups may have been leaning towards a rival faction in Pyongyang's shadowy political world.
                "Or, as Kim's wife once belonged to the same group, it is possible that these executions are more about Kim's wife," Professor Shigemura added.
                In other words, they had opinions. That's what sealed their fate.

                  Just read http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nothing-Envy.../dp/184708141X (as recommended by Ketchup)

                  Very good read - a real eye opener.

                      Well they're certainly not going to tell us what they did to him.
