From Scatbug:
Disney World Peace
In an unexpected and startling
development, the Wonderful World of Disney may provide the long-sought impetus
for peace on the Korean
Peninsula:
While foreign policy experts
have yet to determine the reasons for Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un’s dramatic
shift, they are encouraged by his decision to bring Western culture to the
reclusive Hermit
Kingdom:
The inclusion of characters popular in the
West — particularly from the United
States, North
Korea's wartime enemy — is a notable change in
direction for performance arts in Pyongyang.
…
Kim, who took power after his father,
longtime leader Kim Jong Il, died in December, has
a "grandiose plan to bring about a dramatic turn in the field of literature and
arts this year," [the state-run Korean Central News
Agency] said.
…
Kim…has sought to project an image of youth,
vitality and modernity.
Unconfirmed reports also
mention that a housing facility near the Chinese border will be renamed the
People’s Hundred
Acre Reeducation
Center.
Seizing on this news, and
understanding the implications for stalled talks on
North Korea’s
nuclear program, the Obama Administration has announced a restructuring of its
negotiation strategy. In addition to proposals presented as a treasure map, team
members will portray Kim’s favorite Disney characters:
- Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton – Queen Grimhilde
- Vice President, Joe Biden – Tigger
- Special Envoy, Sen. Harry Reid – Eeyore
- Special Envoy, Rep. Nancy Pelosi – Hannah Montana
- Communications Liaison, Jay Carney – Tinker Bell
While
President Obama will not attend preliminary negotiations, it is anticipated that
he will assume the role of Piglet for the final talks and treaty signing.
