North Korea just hasn’t been the same without Dear Leader.
There have been so few bizarre pronouncements since Kim Jong-il died, it’s been really boring for me. Nothing to make fun of, except that fake rocket press conference thing. >sad …
So much weird crap happened this week that just thinking about posting all of it made my head ache. So here is a roundup of strange news from the past few days.
North Korea’s Awesome Hotel (awesome from the outside, …
