North Korea
“Such a miracle can only occur in North Korea” and other popular phrases from an authentic DPRK phrasebook.
You know peace has arrived when the Supreme Leader now hungers for burgers instead of the nuclear launch button.
Newest video showing the destruction of various American weaponry suggests North Korea may be in possession of functional 3-D modeling software.
Other titles include: “How to Be a Terrible Leader for Dummies” and “431 Quotes to Lose All Your Friends.”
The missiles may not be physically crashing into Japan, but their effect is hitting television stations square in the wallet.
The travel agency says: “North Korea is a safe country! No terrorism, no thieving, no earthquakes.”
Videos reveal the eerie scenes and sirens that residents woke up to in the northern part of the country this morning.
Stay! Stay! Democratic People’s Republic of Korea! might sound like another example of Japanese weirdness, but it’s actually foreign-developed.
We cannot say with 100 percent certainty that a giant robot did not intervene at the last minute.
North Korea’s supreme leader gifts his soldier with a case of the scoots: the gift that keeps on giving.
Producers of this North Korean military video were probably aiming for fear but instead delivered a two-and-a-half minute funny.
