North Korea

WPLG Local 10 News ‏@WPLGLocal10 -- #BREAKING (AP) -- North Korea suffers massive Internet outages; US official declines to say if it is responsible.

us bein' coy.

should offer joint investigation to uncover the culprit

i nominate james franco to chair the blue-ribbon panel convened to get to the bottom of this fiasco.

i'm confused - how can north korea possibly have hackers w/ better skills than, idk, ur average 2600 subscriber?

Comment from the Guardian..

"Ah, South Korea changed their wifi password."

Liking that sky-blue smock.

he looks like a wax model of himself

he looks like a wax model of himself after eating a before picture wax model of himself

the photo does make you wonder what cracks a sociopathic stalinist head of state up.

i'm assuming that he just made a joke and then everyone was like "oh dear leader you are so funny aaahahahahaAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAHAHAAHHHHAAAAHAHAAAAAAAAHAAAAHAAHA OH FUNNY SUPREME LEADER!!!!!!!ahahahahahaahahaahahaaaahahaahahahahahaha, ahem, ahahaha, ahahahahaha, hahahahah, oh dear leader, good one"

for some reason the supreme leader's jokes always seem to be the funniest

still hilarious

I heard national orchestras are hotbeds of sedition

Kim Jong Un personally inspected the plans for this new water park 113 occasions and had his prime officers security check the water slides.

he'd have my vote

from this ^^

Would probably be good to have a thread title change.

Following on from the report of top officials being knocked off, the S.Korean intelligence agencies have said that the Defence Minister, Hyon Yong-Chol, was executed "with anti-aircraft guns in front of an audience of hundreds":

For falling asleep during a parade, i should add.

anti-aircraft guns holy shit

consistently my least favorite ilx thread title

might any govs be interested in assassinating kim jong un or is it seen as too risky/otherwise not worthwhile?

who knows what would happen if he was assassinated? that would seem to be the big issue, contingency planning

well he sure has learned his lessons from Stalin

Of the seven pallbearers at former leader Kim Jong-il's 2011 funeral, apart from Kim Jong-un, all have either been executed, have lost their jobs or have not been seen in some time

The Mystery of the Cursed Hearse!

Has someone knitted that hearse a wooly hat?

Some of this is from a defector called Park. I'd like to hear from someone more Neutral.

You sound like someone called Geir.

It was just a car joke tbh

As was PP's (although iirc Geir rhymes with hair, not here).

Seriously? My mind is blown. I've been pronouncing it "Gear" for years.

I didn't know either.

jesus, I've had the wrong couch all along

I've been making up all kinds of clever puns for my own amusement like 'Top Geir' etc., and now all of that is ashes.

i've been sitting on this info for awhile waiting to blow people's minds but Geir Hongrø is actually pronounced "guy'r hoon-grah"

turning and turning in the widening geir

so i guess the next question is how you do pronounce knutover?

So long, Geir Bowser

I remember Geir giving us a pronunciation guide once. I was in Norway for work a few years ago and one the guys there was named Tor. All the Americans called him "tore" but I did notice that when other Norwegians referred to him it sounded more like Too-uh. So the "r" at the end isn't likely pronounced very strongly if at all. Maybe more like Gay-uh.

Geir (gair) is the person
Geir (gear) is the concept, the way he approaches life and music

Geir is a concept, by which we measure our pain.
