Issue No. 118 2008.04.03
People are busy trying to grow mushrooms and raise rabbits all over the country, following Kim Jong-il's directive issued on Feb. 3, 2008. Ministry of Agriculture, which will be in charge of this drive, are prodding factories, enterprises, and other work units all over the country to carry out the directive. Workers at factories, enterprises, and work units as well as children at Kindergarten should grow mushrooms and raise rabbits until the 60th Anniversary of Korean Worker's Party's Founding. People's Committees at province, city, or county level are instructed to resurrect agriculture section, which had been disbanded, to carry out this project. The agriculture sections are sending official papers on the project to factories, enterprises, and work units. They are also creating inspection units made up of exemplary workers.
Still, some people are really worried about this project. They cannot understand why they are asked to do it again, which has been done every year (previously) without little success. One official complained, "The most urgent problem is to secure feed-grass for rabbits. You can't give just any grass to rabbits. It would cause diarrhea, which would kill rabbits. The same with growing mushrooms. You have to get mushroom spores from Mushroom Institute, and raise them in a germ-free environment with careful control of temperature and humidity. Usually we control the temperature with floor-heating. It may sound simple but requires specialized skill because careful attention to details is needed." He has a huge reservation about (unskilled) general public doing it at their enterprises or schools.
Ping!
It makes one wonder if the little dictator has been dipping into the magic mushrooms or if he’s beyond rational thinking.
“This is the typical example of a bizarre Stalinist-style project that came from the mind of an allegedly omniscient and omnipotent leader...”
Yep, you nailed it right on the head. This project is likely to work about as well as Mao’s idea to increase steel production by having people create their own backyard furnaces .
Rabbit Bourguignon
These are giant German rabbits I think. They were given to NK by an old Communist from Germany named Karl. This is almost so bizarre as to be unbelievable. I find it even more hard to believe that someone hasn’t dispatched this moron along with his half-baked schemes.
Wonder how long it will be before they discover rabbit starvation.
More like dipping into the Jack Daniels and Grey Goose.
Ok, I knew it had to be something like that.
You need a lot of schnitzel, wurst and dortmunder to feed giant German rabbits.
He has a thing for the finer liquor.
He will spare no expense to get it.
While his people starve...
At least the Romans had bread and circuses. The NK’s have mushrooms and rabbits.
But of course.
Me first, my protectors second, and the rest can cope...
Mushrooms are both the National Flower and Mascot.
“Let all citizens be as mushroom,” said Kim Mentally Ill..
Much as I love them (Morel season soon!!) mushrooms have little nutritional value. Tree bark may have more caloric content.
I don’t think so.....
Kim Jong Il ate my rabbits for his birthday

Next year they are going to try to grow weeds and raise mice.
[The most urgent problem is to secure feed-grass]
I imagine that is a problem, from what I have heard in the past, the starving people are eating it.
Or when Mao had all of the farmer’s tools collected and smelted down to increase steel production.The next year food production crashed and people starved.
LOL, I saw that. If true, it isn’t really funny. What a greedy SOB.
That about says it all. Definition of insanity.
Texas rabbits are bigger:
