North Korea Internet, Cell Phones Go Dark

When it comes to crude attempts at humor, The Interview may (and should) have been a stunning flop, but meanwhile the real comedy continues in the real world, whose absurdity has made any IPO of The Onion impossible.

According to Reuters, North Korea's Internet and 3G mobile networks were paralyzed on Saturday evening, China's official Xinhua news agency reported on Saturday.

The network had not returned to normal as of 2130 local time, Xinhua reported, citing reporters in the country that had confirmed the situation over fixed telephone systems.

 

The report comes after the North Korean government called Obama a "monkey" and blamed the U.S. for enduring instability in the country's internet infrastructure, after the U.S. blamed North Korea for hacking attack on Sony Studios.

Do you see what happens Larry, when you, supposedly, use all of your crack 16MHz 80286 supercomputers to dictate to Americans what C-grade comedy flops they can and can not watch?

Meanwhile, here is a candid look at what is surely the worst job in the world at this moment.

Those are the most retarded combination caps I've ever seen.

Are they so uptight with political correctness that they can't call our president a nigger?

Sister Bertrille would kill for one of those ginormous NorK hats.

It's like a Cessna versus an F-18.

We do not know if the NORKs hit Sony!

I hope this is not US provocation.

Now, they decide to 'release' the film after threats were called into theatres?

Geez, is this is another one of those Hitlery/Bath House "Innocence of Muslims" scams?

Those soviet-era hats are Boss, man!

Freedom to Worship

The freedom of every person to worship God in his own way --- everywhere in the world.

- Worshippers are of different cultures, races, and religious backgrounds.

- No person should be discriminated against, regardless of his or her religion or race.

Freedom from Fear

- A world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor --- anywhere in the world.

And to the 8 people in North Korea with internet and cell phones, let me just say I'm very sorry for the inconvenience...
