MBooda: They're gonna show what's under the skirt?

Gee, thanks. I just acquired a new fetish.

That's exactly what I thought when I read that!

Made me think of this:

nor would that type of plane have both sidewinder ordninance and Nuclear ordninence. no?

This should have been in the top ten posts. Maybe not the first, maybe not even the top three. But certainly in the top ten.

Fark.com/politics - I am disappoint.

Quasar: Glenn Beck is going to give out plastic medals and wax meaningless for three hours at one of their nuclear plants.

Came in here to say this... leaving in impotent and short-statured rage.

Braindeath		2010-09-10 01:23:43 PM

They're all going into the underground tunnels now?

Gosling		2010-09-10 01:23:43 PM

They're going to coat the hills with floor polish!

tasthesose2		2010-09-10 01:25:20 PM

I know the secret: they just got Photoshop CS5. Now no one can stop their Nuclear or Space programs!

I can read Korean! Granted, it looks like this to me:

North Korean traffic girls become available for purchase in the United States. I hope.

Since the article can't be bothered to give a picture of the billboards they are talking about.

neonpale		2010-09-10 01:32:30 PM

It's a distraction! Everyone is going to be eagerly awaiting some announcement, and just when everyone is looking at them, they're going to steal all the goats.

maelgon: Rather telling that this comes on the eve of International Burn a Korean Day

It took me 3 tries before I read that as "Korean" rather than "Koran".

Rawry: North Korean traffic girls become available for purchase in the United States. I hope.

I dunno if I'd be more or less inclined to obey traffic laws if we had this action going on. She's not armed nor does it appear that she's got a ticket-book stashed anywhere.

I just hope we'd have better tailors.

/dammit. that sounded incredibly flamboyant of me.

irwhiteboi: Say what you will about North Korea, but at least they don't have an obesity epidemic.

Yeah. Just a Pellagra epidemic. I hear a bowl or two of dog or Wandering Swallows* soup will clear that right up.

*A.K.A. orphaned children. Yay, euphemisms!

irwhiteboi		2010-09-10 01:38:11 PM

I think it's rather obvious guys once you see the picture. This is related to their discovery of Nuclear Fusion.

I think it's probably a thermonuclear bomb.

Killer Cars		2010-09-10 01:38:48 PM

Rawry: North Korean traffic girls become available for purchase in the United States. I hope.

Since we all know those traffic girls only *direct* about five cars and a few buses a day on the roads in Pyongyang, putting them to work in any busy intersection here in the states would lead to utter disaster.

/oh, you mean purchasing them for your "collection"...

That would be very anime-like, except that I'd expect hammer, sickle, and tentacle.

They don't write tickets. This is the North Korean version of stop lights at major intersections. I totally support replacing stoplights with girls in silly outfits. I support replacing most things with girls in any kind of outfit.

cameroncrazy1984: Mr. Coffee Nerves: They're adding another rock to the rock soup recipe.

This is the second time in two days I've read the phrase "rock soup". I think it's a sign.

Great. Now I've read it twice, too.

I bet if you commit a significant infraction, you get to see where she hides the ticket book.

Is that a Maverick next to the fuel tank? Very interesting load out.

That's a brush. Jeez. The items represent industry (the hammer), farming (the sickle), and knowledge (the calligraphic brush of the scholar).

That could be fun. My wife would slap the shiat out of me because she knows I'd do it on purpose, though.

So they're basically eye-candy? Wonder what Citibank thinks about that?

I'm going go with tentacle. It's more fun that way. You can take your debbie downer nonsense and GTFO.

Unless you're going to post pics of hot Korean girls. That might redeem you a bit.

Whoa. Anyone got a translation for that one?

What if the North actually did lob a Nuke over to the South (one of the bases or perhaps Seoul) and the damn thing landed and didn't go off... I wonder what we would do, send them one of our nukes in trade perhaps?

Lost Thought 00		2010-09-10 01:51:14 PM

They have cars, and paint? But the western media has led me to believe that they all live in holes in the ground and eat dirt in between beatings by the military police! Is it possible that I have been lied to by the western propagandists who simply want to destroy a small peace loving country? What else can I not believe, like that the western imperialists actually count my vote and make me think that the history in the books is not actually created to enslave humanity underneath a single oppressive hegemony?

Gordon Bennett		2010-09-10 01:51:26 PM

I know!

Dear Leader is going to unveil his latest and most glorious invention. It will revolutionise personal transportation forever. It will be called the "Seg-way." It is far beyond the means of the primitive, decadent, fascistic West and will always be a symboil of both Dear Leader's genius and the self-evident truths of the Juche idea.

Here it is.
