The North Korean leader is the next world leader to give his comments about the upcoming first-person-shooter game Call of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare. As usual, his message was broadcast through the state-run news channel.

Infinity Ward was disappointed that it only received 1 out of 5 stars because the game’s single-player campaign was not set in North Korea, and a spokesman for the developer has this to say.
“We here at IW are obviously unhappy with the review, but it will not hold us back. We will continue with the launch of COD 4 which will commence in 6 days time. In the meantime we would like to tell Mr Kim that the game was not set in DPRK because our team of level artists were denied access to the country where we were supposed to gather photographs of locations for the game. As IW is very much focused on creating realistic battlegrounds, the team has chosen not to create North Korean locations without any prior knowledge but instead work on other countries.”
Washington again was visibly disappointed that President Bush still had not received a copy, but was even more furious that the North Korean leader had already played the game.
“The DPRK is a country of the Axis of Evil, and a volatile material like Call of Duty 4 can be classified as a weapon of mass destruction in North Korea’s hands.” said Condoleeza Rice, US Secretary of State.
“Kim Jong Il’s comments in his review has also confirmed the presence of nuclear weapons in the country, which is a violation of the peace deal agreed during the 6-party talks.”
When asked whether the US will be taking any military action, Rice replied, “Right now we are using any diplomatic means possible to save the situation. But anything can happen.”
