Tim continues the North Korea bit, arguing Americans are the ideal tourists for any authoritarian regime because they'll ignore atrocities as long as their resort experience is good, citing the Singapore caning as an example of unanimous American approval.
- Tim describes how Americans ignore genocide happening near their resort if it's not visible from their vacation spot.
- A waiter being killed by rebel forces doesn't stop tourists from asking about beach breakfast arrangements.
- Fat American tourists are the ideal visitors for dictatorships because they don't care what governments do to their own people.
- Americans only speak positively about Singapore's caning system, never expressing any negative opinion about it.
- Tim predicts tourists returning from North Korea would praise it to their friends at Denny's, saying the government keeps things quiet and orderly.
- Dictators prefer American tourists over blathering Europeans who complain about human rights violations.
- Americans thank dictators for torture, take pictures in empty cities, and return home saying they have things figured out.
