Daily NK ^ | 04/23/10 | Jung Kwon Ho

What a wonderful sacrifice.

“Since just one firework went off in the first ten minutes, the crowds started going back home saying it was boring and worse than last year’s event.

It's comforting to know that the deceased got to see a firework before they died.

“My Country Where the Supreme Leader’s Desire Blossoms,”

Man, that just dredges up all kinds of unpleasant imagery.

[Frank_2001]

“How long until we have that same concern?”

Our Dear Leader’s celebrations will go off without a hitch, comrade!/s;)

This was terrible, losing people over the side who drowned, but even worse would have been for the bridge to collapse with all the people on it.

this is terrible quality control

I hear that North Korea is about to get a local version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?. It's called Who Wants To Eat A Meal?

Is this a new take on the joke; “What do you call 10 lawyers jumping off a cliff? A good start!”

Coming soon to a country near you. Very, very near you.

[Slings and Arrows]

There's a song about that.

[Eaker]

This was a tragic example of how any large crowd can be very dangerous.

B.S.

Maybe in a third world toilet.

Don't equate America with these idiots.

Numerous countries do this every weekend with no deaths.

I would love to browse through your CDs. Or YT bookmarks, whatever.

Well, at least this is a change from Indonesian ferry boat capsizings and Indian tangled train pile-ups.

What will we have to look forward to when we become a fourth-world nation in a couple of Obama years?
