Japan To North Korea : Yes, We Have No Bananas...

Well, Melons that is.

There comes a point where you just can't make this stuff up. If there really was a SMERSH organization, Kim Il Jong would be tossed out. I actually think there is better than a good chance that Kim has actually said " I just want some sharks with fricken lazer beams, is that so hard? Throw me a bone people..."

I know he's a murderous thug and he's not really funny, but at some point you just have to shake your head and wonder.

Melons. fer-gods-sake. What kind of crazed dictator likes melons?

Nazi's, now they were clearly muderous thugs who were also crazy as bedbugs but at least you felt like they were menacing. It was all that 'deaths heads' paraphenalia and the black uniforms I guess. All I can conjure when I see North Koreans uniforms in the kind of contemptuous reaction that Indian Jones had when he shot the guy instead of using his whip. You just want to shake your head and feel sorry for the poor deluded fools.

And one more thing, why did the AP decide this story just had to include a picture of the USS Pueblo? Whats the connection?
