North Korea: History Will Judge Us Harshly

[Fragony]

lolmoment if true, it seems that the Great Leader was awarded with the title 'most sexy man on earth', unsurprisingly in North-Korea. Sounds like hoax but it's too good to be true admit it you want it to be true

[Husar]

No Fragony, that was an Onion joke and the chinese press thought it was serious, Lemur already posted it.

The Führer is always the sexiest man on earth because power makes incredibly attractive and attractive people are more successful.

I'd love to see some examples of this exported democracy. Is this the kind where you carpet bomb places first, carve up the assets among multinationals and try to install your own people? Or is there another kind that I haven't been made aware of?

There are plenty of examples... Haiti, Panama, Grenada.

That's a pity, it would have been so much fun.

[Idaho]

Keep going...

One could argue that these examples were about spreading hegemony rather than democracy.

[HopAlongBunny]

Chile!

Oh wait...Ok a democracy was transformed to an authoritarian regime which eventually became a democracy again. Lots of Multinational goodness in that example.

I wonder if the North Koreans are really as brainwashed and happy as we suppose. We have almost no access North Korea, so we can't make an accurate assessment of how the people really think and feel. I have a feeling the happy North Korean peasants we do see could be putting on act.

Absolutely.

Truth always gets out, just look at the underground Soviet humor and jokes of that era, brilliant!

An American and a Soviet soldier kill each other and end up at the pearly gates
at the same time. Peter says" well, we have national division in hell as well,
but you may choose where you'd like to go. There is an American hell and a
Russian hell."
American: what's the difference?
Peter: well, in the American hell you have to eat a shovel of shit a day.
Russian: and in Russian hell?
Peter: two shovels of shit.
American: I'll go to American hell.
Russian: well, two shovels of shit, it's not nice, but I was a Russian alive
and I died a Russian and I'll go to Russian hell.
Millenniums later, the same two soldiers end up doing sentry duty at the
checkpoint at the border between American and Russian hell at the same time.
Russian: Hi hi hi! How you doing! Long time no see!
American: Hey! How are you, you look good!
Russian: how is it over there in American hell?
American: oh, one shovel of shit a day, you get used to it. How about Russian
hell?
Russian: well, you know how it is, one day there's no shit, the next day no
shovels. . .

Why would they have pearly gates at Hell's entrance?

[Kadagar_AV]

Why would they have pearly gates at Hell's entrance?

So that the Angel door guy can decide if they get in or not. They have some heavy bouncers up in heaven, ya know.

[Hax]

But Hell and Heaven can't be located next to eachother, right?

[Kadagar_AV]

But Hell and Heaven can't be located next to eachother, right?

I guess they sort if with some sort of teleportation device, like in Star Trek. "Beam him down, Scotty".

Or maybe the bible has it more like "And then God's almighty phuff of weed sent their souls hurling down to the fiery gates"... But I am just winging it, I really haven't read up on that part of the bible much.

[Hax]

I don't think that hell is depicted as particularly fiery in the Bible anyway. So yeah.

[rvg]

Doesn't need to be. It's scary enough already.

[Papewaio]

Heaven and Hell could be the same place. It's the individuals attitude to each other that determines the state of the place.

[Tellos Athenaios]

Why would they have pearly gates at Hell's entrance?

Because the devil knows his sinners. The pearly gates are aimed at the interior decorators and style snobs. The entrance is also marked with the word "Hell" lettered in badly laid out typography.

[Sarmatian]

Heaven and Hell could be the same place. It's the individuals attitude to each other that determines the state of the place.

And maybe our Earth is hell of some other world.

Or maybe Devil sold the franchise to Kim Il Sung.

[Hax]

Hell is comic sans.

[drone]

Hell is comic sans.

I thought hell was other people?

[HopAlongBunny]

Rejoice!

We may be at the forefront of a new internet truism:

"Any discussion about North Korea and/or its Glorious Leader will devolve into a discussion about Hell; its nature, environs and inhabitants."

Reasoning here. We have NK spies in our midst!

It is our military's traditional response to quell provocative actions with a merciless thunderbolt

[rvg]

"Any discussion about North Korea and/or its Glorious Leader will devolve into a discussion about Hell; its nature, environs and inhabitants."

It's a touchy, self conscious Hell...

DPRK Rejects UN "Human Rights Resolution"
Pyongyang, November 28 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK gave the following answer to a question put by KCNA Wednesday as regards the anti-DPRK "human rights resolution" that was adopted at the third committee of the 67th UN General Assembly:
The EU and Japan played key roles in fabricating the anti-DPRK "human rights resolution". The resolution peppered with stereo-typed lies and false stories does not deserve even a passing note as it is a politically-motivated one aimed at serving the purposes of the hostile forces.
The Western forces are blindly following the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK out of inveterate repugnance toward its socialist system. Every year they resort to absurd political chicanery to play down the daily increasing international prestige of the DPRK.
The U.S. and its allies are styling themselves a "human rights judge" whom no one recognize and resorting to despicable acts to slander independent nations and maintain the old international order of domination and subjugation. This, however, only touches off censure and derision of the world progressives.
The DPRK flatly rejects and vehemently denounces the anti-DPRK "human rights resolution" which the hostile forces adopted to bring down the Korean-style socialist system centered on the popular masses by abusing the noble idea of human rights, prompted by their sinister political purposes.

I find it curious that Japan actually agrees to host its website...

Behold:
Archaeologists uncover 'Unicorn's lair'

The lair of a unicorn ridden by King Tongmyong, one of many monarchs from Korea's Koryo Kingdom, has been found, according to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), the state-run agency of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. (...)
[T]he KCNA says "Archaeologists of the History Institute of the DPRK Academy of Social Sciences have recently reconfirmed a lair of the unicorn rode ... located 200 meters from the Yongmyong Temple in Moran Hill in Pyongyang City."

The scientists reportedly unearthed "A rectangular rock carved with words 'Unicorn Lair' ... in front of the lair."

The report goes on to say "The carved words are believed to date back to the period of Koryo Kingdom (918-1392)."

And there lies the sting in the horn, as the dynasty that ruled that kingdom united Korea. The KCNA's report goes on to say "The discovery of the unicorn lair, associated with legend about King Tongmyong, proves that Pyongyang was a capital city of Ancient Korea as well as Koguryo Kingdom."
