Friday fun: Kim to bring moon to DPRK

For a good laugh, check out The Onion’s latest (well researched) “story” from North Korea (h/t to Rich at www.Asiabizblog.com for this one).

My favorite line: “The People’s Great and Harmonious Moon Hand of Kim Jong il will be the largest moon hand pedestal ever constructed”

I am told the English subtitles and the Korean voice-over actually come pretty close to matching.

The Onion recently published this piece as well.
