Haha. Feathers were my #1 criterion in voting for our mascot.

The tribe reference on Wikipedia is gone again. Boo.

What is North Korea doing in the World Cup? That's a sanction waiting to happen if I ever saw one.

Oh boo. I'm sure they'll sneak it in again at some point. XD

Well, normally North Korea's not good enough to get into the World Cup. I have no idea how they managed to actually do enough qualifying matches with how controlling their government is.

i did too.

i am horrendously disappointed in North Korea.
sure, they did pretty well against the highest-ranked team in the world, and that goal was brilliant. but those players... DO. NOT. WANT.

all the other teams have at least one smokin' hot player on staff--usually multiple hotties. why so homely, PRK? did communism suck away all the pretty? get your shit together!

Ha, I wouldn't be surprised the way they live over there.

Course, that's not exactly why I didn't cheer for them. I just... kind of hate their country. ^^; I mean, I feel sorry for the players honestly. Their government's so controlling that they just don't let them go anywhere in South Africa. They're just holed up in their hotel until they come out for their matches.

Anyway, point is, you'd have to break my arm before I ever call North Korea a "People's Republic."

well, i guess, but what does politics have to do with sports? 0.o

anyway, all the happy-looking actors they hired to cheer for the team was hilarious! dude... one sign read "Kim Jong-Il thinks I'm working". i totally lol'd.

so don't let it bug you. it's just soccer ^_^'

they don't give out military intelligence to WC winners these days, do they?

Heh, politics has pretty much everything to do with sports actually. ^__^ Especially in a multi-national game like this. During the Cold War, the Olympics especially was merely another arena of warfare between the U.S. and the USSR. While it doesn't have much to do with treaties and territories, it's a psychological battlefield. The one who wins the most gets to say, "Well OBVIOUSLY we're doing something right. That proves we are so much more awesome than you ( ... )

I will throw up if the Vikings ever make the Superbowl. I think that's my version of you cheering for Brazil. |D

But yah, I basically interpreted that game as "DOWN WITH THE COMMUNISTS", therefore wanted Brazil to beat them like red-headed step children. *thumbs up*

Uhm... Griffons? What?

*pouts* So mean~ Although we do have jokes to that effect. XD *ahem* A Minnesota weather joke: Zero degrees Kelvin. Hell has frozen over. Vikings win the superbowl. XD

Pah, I'm more along the lines of down with North Korea specifically. Because I hate them so much more than the Chinese. For real. I mean, they bloody torpedoed a South Korean warship and killed 45 people and got away with it!!! D:< Why? Because they're belligerent motherfuckers who denied everything (THE TORPEDO HAD ITS NAME ON IT!!!) and threatened to go nuclear if we retaliated for something they didn't do.

So yeah.

Haha, the Griffon is the new mascot for William & Mary. ^__^ For a long time we haven't had a mascot. And before then we had Ebirt (Tribe spelled backwards.) ....You can see why we got rid of him... In the meanwhile the NAACP made us get rid of our feathers. On account of them being racially offensive or something. -____- I'm still really pissed off about that. THEY'RE FEATHERS FOR CHRISTSAKE! And for a while there we thought our ( ... )

:'D I know, I'm sorry, I can't help it. I'm a Packers fan. It's in my blood. If it helps, I've pretty much thrown up in my mouth every time the Patriots have made the Super Bowl. (Nice joke. XDD)

Yah, alright, FUCK NORTH KOREA. >:( I hope somebody eliminates them, like, now.

Ahahaha, that Ebirt thing is mildly terrifying. XD I don't really see how the feathers are offensive, though. You're right, we have way worse mascots in the world. I've always wondered how they let the Redskins slide for so long.

Oh-ho-ho~! Well~ Portugal certainly took care of that didn't they? XDDD 7 to freaking 0~!!! Now that's what I'm talking about~! Brazil, You fail. Portugal, I already loved you, but now you're in my Epic Book. XD
