    The call from opposition lawmakers follows the release on Friday of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, a first-person shooter depicting a full-scale surprise attack by North Korea on the South. Players fight North Korean troops as Park Hyun-jun, a private in the South Korean Marine Corps.

    Just like when Obama watched White House Down to learn about North Korea’s threat to the POTUS.

    South Korea needs smarter opposition than a made up scenario by a non-native writer.

    Of course the far-right want Lee Jae-Myeung to play the imperialist propaganda campaign where you kill top DPRK leadership and destroy Pyongyang, as a socdem Lee Jae-Myeung has been wanting to de-escalate tensions with the DPRK and pursue a path similar to the Sunshine Policy of his more progressive predecessors. The far-right need to constantly normalize war with the DPRK and the devastation it would cause on the entire peninsula because that’s how they claim legitimacy, protecting the chaebol that descend directly from the colonial-era comprador government.

    CoD? Ladies and gentlemen we’ve got bigger fish to fry! I urgently request that you play Halo CE, Halo 2, and Halo 3. We are wasting valuable time to prepare for the Covenant invasion, and worse, popcorn zombies!!

    * unfortunately the franchise abruptly ceases after the third installment, so don’t bother seeking additional warning material.
