A couple of nuggets out of the hermit kingdom today.
On the (at least for some of the people) good news sign current nutjob leader Kim Jong Un has reportedly relaxed the rules to allow the people to have pizzas and cell phones.
The young dictator has even gone so far as to endorse hamburgers and french fries, foods previously branded as too western.
According to state TV the leader toured a restaurant serving such treats and stated that “These facilities are eternal gifts to the people by our great leader”
Of course such treats are only going to be open to the elite and are unlikely to filter down to the masses.
At the same time reports also indicate that former leader Kim “It doesn’t stink because I never go” Jong Il had ordered mass production of nuclear bombs, and it seems unlikely that such production is going to change.
