I think it questionable that North Korea is allowed to compete in the World Cup

I really think a country with leadership so out of touch with the world and committing such heinous crimes against it's own people, should not be allowed the privilege of joining in on a sporting event where it is acknowledged as part of the world community. Especially when the players may have to face "re-education" for having the wrong mindset as a reason for their 7-0 loss to Portugal.

What are your thoughts?

If you want to see the original ad, you can see it here and it may make more sense as to the amazingness of how they fit in this new message into the same ad.
