Bad Korea Move

Er, which one are we supposed to use again, Ewan?
The Olympics hasn't even had an opening ceremony, and already the first diplomatic incident (and the first massive error from the organisers) has occured. The North Korean women's soccer team refused to kick off their Group A game against Colombia as the South Korean flag was displayed next to the players names on the scoreboard. Olympic officials are describing it entirely non-cryptically as a "flag issue". I am describing it as a fucking hilarious cock-up, and a wonderful sign of things to come...

UPDATE - 8.30pm: The game will now kick off at 8.40. The extra delay was, presumably, to allow people like me to stop laughing.
