Red Corner: The Onion Mocks North Korea's Bomb

by Neil Woodburn   Oct 20th 2006 @ 12:38PM

North Korea has dropped the bomb and the satirical newspaper, The Onion, has responded appropriately.

"N. Korea Detonates 40 Years of GDP" screams the headline, and the article only gets funnier after that. I'll give you just a small taste of the black comedy that follows:

"This is a grand day for the Democratic Peoples Republic Of Korea, whose citizens have sacrificed their wages, their food, and their lives so that our great nation could test a nuclear weapon thousands of feet beneath our own soil."

Ouch! Great satire bites close to the truth and this gems really nails it.
