The Communist government of North Korea has stepped up the number of public executions of cell phone users and those who circulate outside information in the country. Under that nation’s laws, citizens are prohibited from communicating with the outside world.
“The peace and happiness of the Korean people must not be disturbed through the transmission of unauthorized information,” said Wee Fat, Minister of Happiness and Tranquility for the government. “All that we need to know will be told to us by our great leader, Kim Il Jong.”
Wee defended the severity of the punishment saying it was “necessary to stamp out the insidious infiltration of alien ideas that could undermine confidence in the triumphant achievements of the government.” “These cell phones are the means by which American spies spread their propaganda,” said Wee. “Our people are demoralized by malicious tales of freedom and prosperity that supposedly exist in other countries. These spies would have us believe that in America people are free to speak their minds, that nearly every home has indoor plumbing, that it is common for families to own their own motor vehicles, and that it is uncommon for people to die of starvation. If such things were possible they would be happening here.”
