North Korea - how serious should we take them?

That's my evening sorted. Absolutely amazing.

Their having server problems at the moment, Reddit linked to this leak

https://github.com/mandatoryprogrammer/NorthKoreaD...

Never mind some links have already been posted, this is where it all started from

[Matthen]

Be nice if someone could crawl + copy the website onto a western server... Browsing it is incredibly slow. Interesting that "UK organizations are denouncing the south Korean society like hell" (guess the BBC are being a bit slow at reporting that) and that "Austria supported the organization of self-defense nuclear explosion test in Korea." ... Bloody Austrians, knew they had western help!


Interesting... google translate of the Korean yields very different headlines compared to the raw English.

The internet site details that have been leaked include ones like this:

Yes the . after kp is correct and yes it takes forever to load.

Once it does load you can read all about the glorious leaders activities.

Good I've been wanting a new source of Kim photos to photoshop.

[FourWheelDrift]

Damn no photos! It's all text. What is this, the 1990s future or something.

Duped New York Concert Audience Gives Standing Ovation to North Korean Propaganda. In between Brahms and Rachmaninoff, the Ureuk Symphony Orchestra performs camouflaged music that praises Kim Jong Un, the third-generation dictator

article said:

Few recognized the music for what it really was—an inspirational ode to Kim Jong Un, North Korea’s third-generation dictator and nuclear-arms provocateur. “Step, step, step, the footsteps of our General Kim,” goes one lyric. “The whole nation follows as one, step, step, step.”

Video released of a North Korean airshow

Mostly Soviet supplied types - no-one knows where they got the Hughes 500s from - and the 'crowd' looks rather stage-managed

Typhoon means lots have escaped and defected to China (who will probably send them straight back again)

They will be building world cup stadiums in Qatar within the fortnight.

Man with the book is saying "Ha! fooled them both, I have the instructions"

It can be hard being the fat kid. It must be really hard being the only fat kid in the country.

Erm, that joke doesn't really work because you can go and visit North Korea for real. I follow the North Korean Tourist board on Facebook. It's amazing

Not sure about sending postcards though...

How many of their Mig 29s did they have to cannibalise to get that one flying?

[FourWheelDrift]

The 4 Hughes 500s were probably the only ones still serviceable from the orginal 60 they purchased via other sources in 1985 - http://www.businessinsider.com/north-koreas-illega...

Looks like Fat Kim has a Steam gaming account.

Next time you are online playing Call of Duty and some screaming kid is cheating...
