Good Lord, Man! We had to put up with endless HT pics yesterday and now you burden us with this?

A. The ROKs have always waged a Billboard War against the North along the DMZ. The North has huge signs declaring the great leader's attributes and the South has huge signs stating things like, "We have 50,000,000 cars."

B. The sixtieth anniversary of the North's invasion is in two weeks...June 25th.

“If the situation continues to deteriorate, South Korea has threatened to use the ultimate weapon of mass destruction: the Time-Life Disco collection.”

ROFL!

crikey! I just blew coffee out my nose!

I was thinking a dose of the BeeGees would drive them absolutely crazy.

[DemforBush]

A good choice, but I think it's time for the gloves to *really* come off and give Pyongyang a taste of Chicago's one and only Jan Terri:

Baby Blues

Journey to Mars

Alright, I broke down and pulled up the video for that song. They look like the little girls in my daughter's dance class, but not as mature. I'll stick to women, thank you.

[Pan_Yan]

Too late.

I would have opened up with some classic Judas Priest “Screaming for Vengance”.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I dunno.
Those screaming Disco Australians could set off heart attacks in older folks.

That...was ugly, my FRiend.

I hate to say this but Asian women don’t age until they hit 40. I cannot tell the difference between a 16 yo asian woman and a 26 yo.

There is this vietnamese woman at my gym who is in her mid 30s but looks 23.

What this article is talking about is the broadcasting of pop music and propaganda over AM radio into North Korea. This is different from the propaganda speakers on the border which have not been turned on. South Korea has cancelled plans to turn on those speakers after the North threatened to shoot at them, Soeul backed down.

[Pan_Yan]

I missed that, thanks.

[WKUHilltopper]

Was one of the tunes “Starving in the streets?” (Dancin’ in the streets)

Perhaps they should broadcast infomercials. Once they see that the outside world spends outrageous amounts of money on useless crap they will revolt.

[Riley]

Oh no.

I’d suggest waiting until the wind is just right and flying in specialist teams of experts from Texas or North Carolina and deploying....

barbecue.

You could do the same for prison hunger strikes, for that matter.

On a more serious note- the hell that the North Korean population lives under is mind-boggling.

Someday it’ll end. I hope I live to see it.
