Norks up the ante.
« on: February 05, 2013, 11:22:01 AM »
And post a video on Youtube of an American city (that looks like New York) under attack and in flames.

Here's the video:

Oh, and they are getting ready to perform another nuclear test soon.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Looks (and sounds) like a Karaoke track  :lol:

I would be very interested in a full translation of all the on-screen "lyrics" :lol: before passing judgement on what exactly the war scene means.

The article I read stated that they were going to try to do 2 tests at once, in order to gather as much data as possible since they know the international community will wag their fingers at them.

In other news, the Norks are starving and looking for some more handouts.

Well, torturing the world with a MIDI sounding pop track might actually work.

With the fact that most things the norks try putting in the air blow up feet off the ground should we be worried?
Last time I checked they would have trouble holding up a 7-11 in Texas.

Just noticed that a mod changed my signature. How long ago was that?

Considering Hillary and Bill tried to bribe them into stopping last time, I guess they figure Democrats are in office so they can get the same deal again.

That would suck for South Korea :O.
Also, I can't help but thinking that after that many hits, South Korea would be an island, separated from the rest of Asia :O.

Well, I suppose they wouldn't have to worry about the Chicom human waves rushing over the Yalu river ever again.  :P

Quote
ianare writes "A propaganda video from the North Korean authorities has been removed from YouTube following a copyright claim by games maker Activision. It shows a space craft flying around the world and eventually over a city resembling New York. The buildings are then seen crumbling amid fires and missile attacks. However, the dramatic images (video) were soon recognized as having been lifted from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. By Tuesday, the video had been blocked, with a message notifying users of Activision's complaint shown in its place."
