James Bond's latest "enemy" is fighting back. Fictional North Korean agents torture the British spy in his new film, and now Pyongyang is angry for real. Official statement North Korea has called on the United States to stop showing Die Another Day saying it is "insulting the Korean nation".
The film - starring Pierce Brosnan and Halle Berry - "clearly proves" the US is "the root cause of all disasters and misfortune of the Korean nation" and is "an empire of evil", according to the Secretariat of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland.
The secretariat's statement said the film is a "dirty and cursed burlesque aimed to slander [North Korea] and insult the Korean nation". It says the film describes North Korea "as part of an 'axis of evil', inciting inter-Korean confrontation, groundlessly despising and insulting the Korean nation and malignantly desecrating even religion". The US is "the headquarters that spreads abnormality, degeneration, violence and fin-de-siecle corrupt sex culture", the statement said.
