North Korea fires missive at Australian paper mX

[Saracalia]

Please excuse the title of the thread, it is over a news headline!

NORTH Korea has mX in its sights after the paper's medal tally cheekily referred to the regime as "Naughty Korea" and its democratic cousin south of the DMZ as "Nice Korea".

NORTH Korea has mX in its sights after the paper's medal tally cheekily referred to the regime as "Naughty Korea" and its democratic cousin south of the DMZ as "Nice Korea".
In a move labelled "unusual" by The Wall Street Journal's man in Seoul, Alastair Gale, the nuclear-armed regime fired a missive overnight from Pyongyang at mX via its official mouthpiece, the Korean Central News Agency.
Fortunately for mX, which has editions in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, the regime believes the paper is called Brisbane Metro.
The missive includes bizarre lines like: "[the paper] behaved so sordid" in "this bullying act", which was "foolish, degrading".
Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane commuters can pick up a free copy today of your city's "naughty" mX, chastised by North Korea, to read the full story.

KCNA story:
The Australian newspaper Brisbane Metro behaved so sordid as to describe the DPRK as "Naughty Korea" when carrying the news of London Olympics standings.
This is a bullying act little short of insulting the Olympic spirit of solidarity, friendship and progress and politicizing sports.
Media are obliged to lead the public in today's highly-civilized world where mental and cultural level of mankind is being displayed at the highest level. Brisbane Metro deserves criticism for what it has done.
The paper behaved so foolish as to use the London Olympics that has caught the world interest for degrading itself.
The paper hardly known in the world must have thought of making its existence known to the world by joining other media in reporting the Olympic news.
Then it should have presented its right appearance to the world.
Editors of the paper were so incompetent as to tarnish the reputation of the paper by themselves by producing the article like that.
There is a saying "A straw may show which way the wind blows". A single article may exhibit the level of the paper.
Many people were unanimous in denouncing the small paper for defaming the mental and moral aspects of the players of the DPRK who earned recognition from several appreciative world famous media.
Even hostile forces toward the DPRK heaped praises on its players' successful performance at the London Olympics, saying that "Korea whirlwind" sweeps the world.
The Australian paper cooked up the way of moneymaking, challenging the authority of the dignified sovereign state. The paper deserves a trifle sum of dirty money.
As already known, it was reported that a lot of petty thieves sneaked into the London Olympics together with tourists. Players fight to the finish in the stadium, but those petty thieves demonstrate their "skills" outside the stadium.
The paper Brisbane Metro is little different from those petty thieves. In a word, the paper discredited itself. How pitiful it is.
The Brisbane Metro will remain as a symbol of rogue paper for its misdeed to be cursed long in Olympic history. The infamy is the self-product of the naughty paper Brisbane Metro which dared challenge the spirit of Olympic, common desire and unanimous will of mankind.


Can I have your thought and discussion about this please?

Ha, is it just me, or does North Korea kind of remind you of that short guy that thinks he has to puff out his chest and pick fights to prove himself? (wether or not we like to admit it, most everyone knows someone like that).

Hope they don't send me a strongly worded/broken english letter for posting this.
