North Korean Missile Test put on hold by Windows 8!!!

A Chinese newspaper thought it was real and reprinted it.

Quote:

According to The New Yorker’s Andy Borowitz, a potential North Korean nuclear-missile test (that even has the Pentagon on alert) went awry this week thanks to an unspecified glitch in Windows 8. As sources in Pyongyang were cursing Microsoft and threatening (nuclear?) war against the software company, a media outlet in China was picking up the piece—not realizing that The Borowitz Report is totally, hilariously fake.

Good stuff.

Not again China! They do tend to struggle with Western humour, particularly when it comes to the DPRK.
