Kim Jung Il is pretty cool. I bet he could fuck Obama up.

Hes a short fat asian and Obama is tall and black. Doubt it.

As far as this rocket business, I wouldn't count on North Korea ever getting a working nuclear bomb, let alone them having the capacity to actually launch it. Their economy over there is in the shitter and I really don't imagine they have the minds to manage a functional nuclear program. Maybe if they picked up ex-soviet nuclear scientists or something like that, but no one in North Korea knows how the fuck to build a nuclear bomb.

How does the N. Korean government expect anyone to believe a country that size would spend a huge chunk of their GDP on a 3 stage rocket to send a satellite into space to beam back patriotic hymns?  That's the worst cover-up excuse in history.  That's a small country, they could have just set up a few radio towers instead.  Funny part is the rocket apparently never made it into orbit and delivered its payload, but they claim that it did.  and they said if any country tried to salvage the downed rocket out of the Pacific it would be considered an act of war.  Everything to them is considered an act of war.  I like reading thier official statement, their rhetoric is laughable, they take it so seriously and it's so over the top.

If it worked North of 38 would piss a lot of people off and end up scorched, I doubt anyone wants that.
Fuck ICBM's

I wonder if anyone over there is aware of how absolutely ridiculous they come off to the international community? Someone send them a copy of Team America.

kim is big on movies. has a whole vault.

Kim is said to be a huge film buff, owning a collection of more than 20,000 video tapes.[80] His reported favorites are the Friday the 13th, Rambo, James Bond, and Godzilla series, as well as Hong Kong action cinema, and any movie with Elizabeth Taylor.[81] He is the author of the book On the Art of the Cinema. In 1978, on Kim's orders, South Korean film director Shin Sang-ok and his actress wife Choi Eun-hee were kidnapped in order to build a North Korean film industry.[82] In 2006 he was involved in the production of the Juche-based movie Diary of a Girl Student – depicting the life of a girl whose parents are scientists – with a KCNA news report stating that Kim "improved its script and guided its production".[83]

He actually has good taste. Now, if we could get him to feed his people...

If anyone here hasn't watched the "Vice Guide to North Korea," do it right now:

If they ever declared war on us, all we'd have to do is drop crates of hamburgers, energy drinks, and comic books on them. It'd be the shortest American-won war in history.

I haven't watched that yet Grim...I watched the eel sex one and of course epicly later'd.  The one with Gaahl from Gorgoroth wouldn't load for me, so I haven't watched it either.  Anyways, how good is it?

[grimcity]

It's surreal.

If you ever wanted to know what it would be like to go to N. Korea as a tourist, it's the doc to watch. The arena show was insane.

[spungo]

Lisa Ling did an episode of Nat Geo Explorer where she posed as an assistant to a Chinese Doctor performing cataract surgeries on North Koreans who were blinded by them.  It was nuts, as soon as they were able to see again, instead of thanking the doctor or being happy to see their families, they all ran over to a giant portait of Kim Jong Il and started to thank the painting.

I remember one lady yelling through tears, "Thank you Supreme Dear Leader!  I will work twice as hard in the salt mines for you now!"

what         the             fuck?!?

[anblue]

It's surreal.

it definately is and that is all we would really need to win that war, and i guess we could make an example of like six people then fight the war at home about having a war and all that wonderful jazz that comes with international conflict

Your posts have been deteriorating lately, probably because of me.  If you want you can go to Lexington Barbecue with us.  My parents said I can bring someone and they'll pay.  Free barbecue on us, but if it is too packed we are going to Smiley's.

I've been interested in politics since I was eight years old, and skateboarding since I was nine.

Nah. Whenever I get my hair cut, the people doing it always comment on how I have a "headful of hair".... it'll probably grey prematurely, but it won't ever fall out.

i was just about to post this. Definatly worth watching.

It's so funny that regardless of the rediculouslessness of the insult, Newton ALWAYS has to defend himself.  Say he's going bald, and he's like, NO WAY! When I go to the barber they always say I have a full head of hair. 

the dude oozes insecurity worse than anyone I've ever met or seen posting on the interweb.

Russian tourist's impressions and photos. It's ridiculous to see propaganda villages and all the empty superhighways. It actually blows my mind that so many people can be so easily kept in complete seclusion from reality. They have to feel that their lives are completely normal. Just weird.
