North Korea blasts Barack Obama as 'monkey' over The Interview
December 27, 2014

North Korea has blasted US President Barack Obama as a "monkey" encouraging cinemas to screen a comedy featuring a fictional plot to kill its leader, and threatened "inescapable deadly blows" over the movie. The isolated dictatorship's powerful National Defence Commission (NDC) also accused the US of "disturbing the internet operation" of North Korean media outlets. The NDC accused Obama of taking the lead in encouraging theatres to screen The Interview on Christmas Day. Sony had initially cancelled its release after major US theatre chains said they would not show it, following threats to movie-goers by hackers.

"Obama always goes reckless in words and deeds like a monkey in a tropical forest," a spokesman for the NDC's policy department said in a statement published by the North's official KCNA news agency on Saturday. "If the US persists in American-style arrogant, high-handed and gangster-like arbitrary practices despite [North Korea's] repeated warnings, the US should bear in mind that its failed political affairs will face inescapable deadly blows," the NDC spokesman said.

Can't help but wonder how Rodman views this choice of slur.

Poor Kim Jong Un.

I imagine it's always tough being the fat kid in school. It must be extra tough being the only fat kid in your entire Country.
 
Well, at least Russia doesn't insult BO like they do. Kim might want to take notice of that should he take Putin's invitation to visit Russia in May.


Russia offers support to North Korea amid Sony hack.....

Russia on Thursday offered sympathy to North Korea amid the Sony hacking scandal, saying the movie that sparked the dispute was so scandalous that Pyongyang's anger was "quite understandable." Washington failed to offer any proof to back its claims of Pyongyang's involvement in the hacking, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said at a briefing, adding that the U.S. threats of retaliation were "counterproductive."

He went on to say that Pyongyang had offered to conduct a joint investigation into the incident, adding that the proposal could help ease tensions and reflected a "sincere desire of the North Korean side to study the issue in detail." "We perceive the U.S. threats to take revenge and calls on other nations to condemn the Democratic People's Republic of Korea as absolutely counterproductive and dangerous, as they only would add tensions to the already difficult situation on the Korean Peninsula and could lead to further escalation of conflict," Lukashevich said.....snip~

Exceptionally good point, Serenity. Exactly.
 
According to some stuff I was researching last night Kim Jong Un is in an ever increasingly isolated position.

Regardless of how the state may present itself, it would appear the power structure is not as stable as we thought.

North Korea alledgely relies on whats called the "Gift Economy" or "Royal Economy" to maintain its power structure.

That means essentially top officials are given expensive and elaborate gifts in order to ensure their loyalty and of course the threat of imprisonment for any opposition.

The US and others have worked diligently to curb the influx of foreign currency into North Korea, thereby strangling the budget that Kim Jong Un has to maintain this type of economy.
 
The NORKS better be cool, because Libbos see racism as a bigger crime than murder.

I want to see a movie making fun of Putin!
 
My first girlfriend had the biggest set of norks I ever saw at the time..

Norks:
Breasts. Australian slang. Derived from the prominent udders on the cow used to advertise Norco, New South Wales' North Coast Dairy Co-Operative.
Crikey! Check out the norks on that shiela!

Yeah, the only chub with a bad haircut.

OMG :lamo I never would have imagined that anyone in North Korea could still have a sense of humor!

Obama's response:

And I seriously doubt this :yt was Obama's response!

I suspect his sense of humor flew south with his popularity_

This was more than likely his reaction! :giggle1:

I'm kinda worried that you have a picture of Obama saved into your computer, but that's neither here nor there. Obama has handled North Korea has been admirable.

Unlike the United States; which has the fattest poor people in the world! :giggle1:

I can't think of anything that he has handled admirably_

Obama has pretty much flopped at everything he has touched_

I can see why he's kept his Presidency so hidden from public scrutiny_

Being President is obviously much more than Obama is capable of handling_

While this is probably true of most people, at least they're smart enough to know it_

I take it you don't like how Obama has dealt with North Korea?
