歐巴馬給金正日的電子郵件

話說歐巴馬不是保住了黑莓機嗎？（歐巴馬的[黑莓機]與[總統紀錄法]）歐巴馬曾經說過：「我想我們應該可以繼續使用它。我一向會假設，我在電子郵件寫出的任何內容，最後可能都會在CNN播出。」現在，不必等CNN 播出，他決定每週挑幾封非機密性質的電子郵件（G2 似乎指軍事情報之類的國家機密，參考Staff (military)），主動向大眾公開。本週歐巴馬公開的是，給朝鮮領導人金正日、美國前總統柯林頓、第一夫人蜜雪兒和副總統拜登等四人的電子郵件。

歐巴馬給金正日的電子郵件，內容一看就讓人感覺根本是在開玩笑，應是藉此消遣金正日，以表達對朝鮮拘禁美國記者的不滿。金正日的e-mail address一看也知道是假的(dearleaderNK@reclusivemail.com)。reclusive！很搞笑。

看了歐巴馬的信，金正日超不爽是一定的，也許，日本海的魚蝦又要倒楣了。

  Cool it, buddy. First, that's enough of the haughty tone; I don't care if you're a living man-god. Second, may I remind you that there was, officially, no deal. Still, purely as a goodwill gesture, I'm arranging for the following items to be shipped as discussed. Though I don't believe your claim that you want these "despicable fruits of consumerist culture" solely for research purposes . . .

  1. Lifetime subscription to Netflix

  2. MacBook Air, plus carrying case and wireless mouse

  3. iPhone (you won't be able to make calls, but since when was that the point of an iPhone?)

  4. 20 pairs of assorted designer sunglasses

  Barack

  放輕鬆，哥兒們。首先，雖然不太禮貌，但我才不管你是何方神聖（living man-god，人造神？）。再者，我好心告訴你，我正準備寄送下列之前商定的東西給你。你宣稱要這些「勞什子消費文化」的玩意兒（despicable fruits？是什麼意思？壞果子？），僅僅是出於研究的目的，我才不相信。
  1.Netflix DVD 終身租片權
  2.MacBook Air（MBA 蘋果筆電），附送筆電包，還有無線滑鼠
  3.iPhone手機（你無法使用電話功能，但無所謂）
  4.20副各種款式的太陽眼鏡。
