Nice gesture, but it won't change anything. The DPRK is the very definition of a complete clusterfark.

I need to find out where they got those balloons. Looks like I finally found a condom that will fit.

Boy oh boy. Those Korean condoms sure are stretchy.

So, Fatty Ding Dongs issues a proclamation that anyone (besides him, of course) caught wearing clean new socks gets sent straight to the gulags as a traitor.

North Koreans eat socks?

"Warm socks are so rare and they can easily be traded for cash in the North. One pair of socks fetches about 22 pounds of corn, which is enough to sustain a person for a month," Kim added.
Stockinganda, or a mere playful attempt to disrupt North Korea's economy?

So how do they know the North Korean citizens actually get the socks, food, and condoms? Those can easily be shot down by the military and their soldiers will just take advantage of them.

Great. Not only are they starving and oppressed, now they have to watch boxed of hot socks float over their heads on the way to China.

I don't know if this is a good idea. Remember that story a while ago about how the North Korean police cut the power off to apartment buildings and go door to door looking to see who has contraband movies in the vcr? What will happen to people found with good socks on?

Exactly. The South Koreans should go full Teabagger and stand in the street and yell SOCIALIMIALISM!!!
Much more effective than actually giving people warm socks.

For all of the hand-wringing about naughty Iran, North Korea is ten times as evil, and not a peep from any of the Presidential candidates. It makes me think their primary concern is not U.S. interests, or human rights, but something else...

Iran once had a democratically elected government, but they were about five miles to the right of Comrade Ombamavich, so we murdered their prime minister and installed the Shah by force; that is why they hate us so badly.

So what? Mexicans sent us socks 65 years ago. Unfortunately, the balloons landed in Roswell, NM.

I'm afraid SK may get their feelings hurt always being called Worst Korea.

2012-01-28 05:42:56 PM
Nevermind how they ensure the "normies" get the socks... How do they get the socks to land in North Korea at all? How can they be sure they'll come down before floating all the way to China, or diverting left or right and floating into the sea? Seems kinda half-baked, though well-intended.

I'm betting that once the balloons get high enough, they burst.
Unfortunately, since the socks are packed nice and tightly into those boxes, when they hit the ground they'll probably kill about 20 of the Best Koreans. This will have the added effect of creating hamburger, which will promptly be mixed with whatever animal of the day they've managed to kill and everyone else will be warm and fed.
This will make Fatty Albuckre vely unhappy.

It been done before. A defector in a mig that got across the neutral zone without setting of alarms while wearing a handkerchief on his feet created the first great Korean sock drive.

They probably assume anything in Best Korea airspace gets shot down.

What would happen if we carpet-aid-bombed all of NK with crates containing assault rifles, ammo, and food?

The socks are quite valuable to the average North Korean because they're a rare commodity.

HE SAID CHIK-FIL-A CHICKEN SANDWICH. NOT CORN.
SEE NORTH KOREANS LIKE TO SEE OPULENCE TO COUNTER THE CONSTANT DREDG OF CORN EATING.

The military would confiscate the crates and the citizens would never see any of it again? Because that's the most likely scenario. Korea has the largest military force in the world, per capita, and they run everything.
