      Are you talking about the North Korean site or Slashdot?

    Here's an interesting article about a man's experiences when he went into North Korea, in case anyone's wondering what's really going on in there.

  6. And others.... by jrumney · · Score: 5, Interesting

    There are others that have been around a while, this one seems to be set up by an expat group, but this one claims to be the official site of the DPRK government. Check the Welcome from Kim Jong-Il.

    Kim Jong Il has a weblog.

  8. Why is Slashdot Wasting Its Time with this Spoof by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Informative

    If anyone had bothered to scratch the surface of this site a little, you would soon realise that this is a dummy spoof site set up and run by a German businessman who uses it as a "sweetener" to get computing business in North Korea (which is illegal under UN sanctions, I believe).

    He claims he is going to wire up North Korea via satellite - bul*shit!

    If you really want to provide your personal details to an unscrupulous German, then feel free - you must really like spam.

    It really does not deserve any further attention, other than to say "nice marketing ploy fella".

    Anyone for an "official" Ossama Bin Laden blog?

  9. I'm moving there by LNX+Flocki · · Score: 5, Funny

    That's it, I'm moving to North Korea. Look what their constitution says:

    Article 71

    Citizens have the right to relaxation. This right is ensured by the establishment of the working hours, the provision of holidays, paid leave, accommodation at health resorts and holiday homes at State expense and by a growing network of cultural facilities.

  10. Hearsay? by sczimme · · Score: 5, Funny


    I propose a new word: heresay. It would be a portmanteau of 'heresy' and 'hearsay'.

    'Heresay' would be the practice of spreading false claims and attacking the local religious establishment based on secondhand information.
