Icon108 North Korean general cracks George W. Bush joke

In North Korea, where cracking a joke about the country's leader could see you, well, die laughing, poking fun at the U.S. president is obviously not as serious.

"Pyongyang - Our Glorious Leader has bestowed his mighty wit upon the People's Eternal Servant, who then regaled the forever-humourless capitalist frumps with the story of how the Sunshine-Smiled Children Who Are Our Future banded together by their own accord and applying their Untold Strenth in Unity towards the metaphoric task of rescuing the Capitalist Oppressor from the Filth of Money Worshipping. Upon being brought to the Enlightening Freedom of Knowing, as taught by Glorious Leader Who Watched us From the Eternal Pinnacle of Knowledge, the Oppressor sought to reward his Revolutionary Unchainers. After steadfastly refusing to accept what they could not share with their Brothers and Sisters in Industry For the People's Benefit, they decided to teach the Imperialist Swine a lesson on the Joy Received in Living in Harmonious Togetherness. Upon requesting that they lie together after serving their lives in the advancement of The People's Will, the Imperialist asked them why they made such a request (himself not understanding yet the values of Unity, Togetherness, Cooperation and Harmony). The Flowering Youth of the People replied that their greedy parents would sell them into wage slavery, forcing their blood to oil the wheels of capitalism until their Strong Spirits of The People left their exhausted bodies. Also, 35,000 people starved to death in order to print up 100,000 placards. The placards were used so that the joke could be presented to The Son of Glorious Leader in a 25,000 person display."
