extracts taken from qi jian's blog. big joke from N Korea's newspapers. organisation is shit. i tried to tidy it a bit, but bloggger likes to screw it up again:
a few choice bits:
"The dear general praised the citizens suggestions, and even gave some of them his own personal e-mail address so that they could describe their suggestions to him in full. The trip became even more interesting when he broke wind while riding the train, leading many of the citizens to crowd around him to bask in the natural air of his greatness."
"We are the citizens of Korea. We are not hired by the government, but we have begun this newspaper with their blessings. We stand for peace, friendship, equality and prosperity; four of the things our nation values above all."
"Not long ago, a shipment of fresh fish coming from China to Pyongyang, ordered by a local restaurant, was contaminated with a poison, suspected to be the doings of a fascist sympathizer group that supports the American government. This poison caused anybody who ate the fish to experience a rectal prolapse, a very serious condition of the body that would make the rectum fall out of the anus, and the victim unable to properly defecate."
"Seeing his people's distress, our brilliant general worked day and night with scientists to produce a medicine to combat the poison, so that the citizens infected would not have to bear the shame of being unable to properly use the bathroom. The people listened in amazement as he described the quick development of this important medicine, many discovering for the first time that he is also an accomplished scientist.
When tested yesterday, the new drug was a success, and all of those who had suffered rectal prolapses from the poisoned fish are now recovering in hospital. It is expected that many nations around the world will be looking to buy the antidote from the great leader, and it also goes to show yet another failure of the American imperialists to attack the innocent citizens of Korea."
the below is about some plane which crashed in US. details are unimportant; the quote is funnier.
"Earlier yesterday, a small passenger airplane crashed into an apartment building, killing over 50 civilians. Among those civilians were three Korean families, long trapped against their own will in the American land. In a country where the average wage is just 17,000 won per month (about $100 US), these Korean families are forced to work for even less, and must keep electronic braceletes strapped on their ankles that track their movements at all times, should they decide they want to escape back to their homeland."
"It is well known that dear leader is an accomplished dancer; he invented the hugely popular cha-cha-cha dance in 1952 at the age of 10 years old. He even danced for a performance of the opera "Sea of Blood", written by his father, our great eternal leader Kim Il-Sung."
