dc.description.abstract | Broadcast Transcript: Okay. So you live in a totalitarian hereditary Communist dictatorship whose cult leader is threatening the world with nuclear destruction. Does that mean that you can't enjoy a friendly game of Ultimate Frisbee? Apparently not as the first Ultimate Frisbee tournament took place in Pyongyang not that long ago. Players were witness to North Korea's first score in the history of the game and its first diving catch. But what made the game truly unique was NOT that it was played not too far from the embalmed body of the Beloved Leader or the 38th Parallel but that, as the players later said, it could've been a tournament anywhere in the world. To use a word coined by the organizer of the tournament: this was "discplomacy" at its finest. #ceas #hacker #NorthKorea | |
