Kim Jong Un Claims To Have Cured AIDS, Ebola and Cancer

jones_supa writes: North Korea has created a wonder drug which not only cures AIDS, but also eradicates Ebola and cancer — at least, according to the latest proclamation from the country's news agency. Their announcement says the miracle cure consists of ginseng grown from fertilizer and rare earth elements. The drug's website cites a medical study in Africa where the product was tested on HIV-positive patients. It records that every single participant in the trial noted an improvement, with 56% being completely cured and 44% noting a considerable improvement in their condition. Among other benefits, the North Korean scientists also revealed that the drug is capable of curing a number of cancers, but did not provide details of the medical trials which support this claim. It's also good to remember that the state has previously claimed that Kim Jong Il invented the hamburger.

    Of course they are a brutal dictatorship. You didn't think they were serious when they called themselves the Democratic People's Republic, did you?

    That's missing the point though. We aren't children. We don't need propaganda, the reality is bad enough. Yet every story has to be embellished like this. It's crap journalism, and seems only to exist to make us feel superior and distract us from more important things.

    Come on, the unicorn shit was widely debunked. What's the purpose of bringing it up again.
