N Korea furious at South's Christmas lights plan

Jimbuna · 12-11-11, 12:03 PM

What are they worried of?.....their own people realising it is possible to be happy and in a celebratory mood?

Quote:

North Korea has warned South Korea of "unexpected consequences" if it lights up a Christmas tree-shaped tower near their tense border.
The North's state-run Uriminjokkiri website said it would amount to a form of "psychological warfare".

Happiness in communism, thats a contradiction in terms!
Maybe they are just scared how they should explain their own Energy shortage in front of a illuminated Border.

Good point

"Psychological warfare?" Not surprising from a nation that probably regards a crow crossing the border as an "aerial incursion".

Deep down they're probably just angry that Santa ignores that big black spot on the map called North Korea every year.

Maybe the North Koreans are not used to seeing illumination at night. It is foreign to them, and therefore, hostile.

So I say...

Do something Shortstack Jong Il..

I dare you...

The scary thing is that they just might and another conflict could be sparked by something so insignificant as Christmas lights

Meanwhile in Seoul, the artists impression of a new skyscraper has been unveiled:

Look familiar to anyone else?
