That headline is courtesy of the KCNA Random Insult Generator at the brand new site NK News:

NK News is a searchable database of North Korean propaganda. This site contains nearly every article published on the KCNA’s website (that’s the official North Korean press agency), in English and Spanish, since Dec 2, 1996–over 50 MB of hard-core Stalinist propaganda! And each article written in that unique and indelible style of the KCNA.

Need help getting started? There’s a list of suggested searches to offer you some ideas. Also, don’t forget to visit the Hall of Fame, a shrine to some all-time KCNA classics.

Among the greatest hits:

Not content to let Western democracies corner the market on outrage over nation-splitting concrete walls, North Korea has angrily demanded for years that South Korea tear down a 240 km, 10 m high concrete wall that transverses the entire width of the Korean peninsula, running just below the DMZ. This demand would be exceedingly difficult for South Korea to meet, however, for the following reasons.

1. Dissembling the wall would take quite a bit of time
2. It would cost a lot of money
3. It would remove a deterrent against a North Korean invasion
4. The wall doesn’t really exist

Of these, I happen to think that point #4 is the biggest obstacle, though no doubt others would disagree. The phantom wall was not-built in 1979, is 10-19 metres un-wide at bottom, 3-7 metres un-wide on the top–but why bore you with the stats, when you can read them for yourself?

We once wasted the better part of an afternoon at the KCNA site. The discovery of a site devoted to their unintentionally hilarious agitprop has made our day, if not our week.
