Four North Korean Soccer Players Missing, More to Follow

DURBAN, South Africa (GlossyNews) — Four players on the North Korean Soccer Team have gone missing. They were unaccounted for on Friday when they failed to show up for practice.

Rumors are swirling that the missing team members have defected and are seeking political asylum in the host country of South Africa. While they probably would have been happier had the World Cup been played in a country that had a larger Korean population such as America or the United Kingdom, so they could blend into the background more effectively, defection opportunities don’t come along very often for North Koreans and many believe they are taking their chances as soon as they can.

It is believed that the North Korean actors who were paid to act as fans during North Korea’s soccer matches may also be in on the defections and if so, instead of watching the players closely to deter any of them from going AWOL, may have also decided to run if given the opportunity.

If the rumors are true, the entire soccer team and its fans may turn missing within the weekend prompting Kim Jong Il to make good on his promise to declare war on any country that provides safe harbor to his citizens.

It is said that Kim Jong Il telepathically communicated this to the team’s captain shortly before the captain also came up missing.

  1. Love it when these threads have very little to do with what I wrote. Takes the onus off considerably.
    Good luck on the Monday interview and wouldn’t ask you to change your name LibertiesTaken ever, promise.
    Rfreed, we’ll finish this elsewhere. 🙂

  2. I have no aim to change my name. Nor start fisticuffs about such stuff. I have no dream to intervene in any way. I only say to you & you I have a Monday interview. I need a job, I want the work, to be a less repellent jerk. As Popeye said, “I Yam what I yam” and I will not eat green eggs and ham… unless it pays well.

    My next offered story will be titled “Senator apologizes to Conquistadors.”

  3. Oh… you’re not that type of woman.

    Nuts.

    I had five guys lined up wanting to talk to you and already got $20 from each of them.

    Now I have to give the money back.

    Would you consider changing your mind and I’ll split the money with you?

  4. Oh that is so funny. No I wasn’t aware of where wonrey came from. I looked it up and now I know. Wondered where I got that picture.
    I’m clueless but not “that kind of woman” so forget I said anything Liberties. Hah! His name is LibertiesTaken, that makes it even funnier.
    I may have another story just from his.

    Thanks Rfreed for once again saving me from myself.

    Brian, does this ban me from posting further comments?

  5. Ahem…Ms. Beckert…I’m assuming that you know that the term ‘wonrey’ comes from the song that Kim Il sings in the movie Team America which features such unforgettable scenes as hot marionette sex and a mustard splattered Micheal Moore puppet as a suicide bomber.
    Anyway, you’re offer to “fix” where Mr liberties is “wonrey” is worrisome. I’m not sure if Glossy News is the place for this sort of solicitation. I know, its a recession and people have to make money where they can, but have you thought of trying the special sections of Craigslist for this? I mean, maybe Glossy could use the extra business too, but may be we need to start a special classified section. Also, there is the danger your husband could learn about your special ventures. But, don’t worry about me ratting you out. Mum’s the word. It is nice to see people taking the initiative in these hard financial times.
