The North Korean Soccer Coach’s Invisible Phone

Yet another reason why Kim Jong-Il may just be the most talented person on the planet.

After their World Cup loss to Brazil, North Korea’s coach may need to call up the country’s Supreme Leader for some advice. Good thing Jong-Il invented those invisible phones.

From ESPN:

“Kim Jong-Su, the general secretary of the North Korean FA, has said the Dear Leader gave ‘in-depth guidance’ on how to develop the game in the country and the coach himself has claimed he received regular tactical advice during matches, apparently using mobile phones that are not visible to the naked eye.”

Jong-Il, a man of many talents, is said to have developed the technology himself. Before you laugh in disbelief, remember this is the man who scored 38 under par in his first-ever game of golf — with five holes in one — making him the greatest golfer of all-time. He’s got skills.

No word yet whether North Korea also has an invisible vuvuzela in the works.
