No iPods for North Korea

It is interesting to note that North and South Korea are geographical neighbors (duh), the South Koreans are a technologically advanced lot and yet those living under the Kim Jong-Il regime suffer from starvation and oppression. The U.S. has moved against North Korea by imposing a sanction on luxury items, banning the sale of everything opulent such as Hennessy XO cognac, Johnny Walker whisky, Sony cameras, luxury cars from Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Cadillac, Rolex watches, and even the ubiquitous iPod, amongst other numerous sports and music equipment. Forget about flouting a next-gen console on eBay to make a quick profit – methinks you have better luck bringing in iPods and hawking them at an exorbitant price.
