Humm.. the plot thickens
So how did these mystery items wind up in N. Korea?
If they (N Korea) were exporting these, does that mean they have better stuff at home.
If so from whom and what do they have???

Killjoys. Wonder how many will put Haruhiist in the next one.About 390,000 people listed their religion as Jedi in the 2001 Census for England and Wales. In Scotland the figure was a reported 14,000.
The Office for National Statistics did not recognise it as a separate category, and incorporated followers of Jedi with atheists.

Although recent court verdict against The Pirate Bay is considered an ideological loss for supporters of copyright reform, it is nevertheless good news for the Swedish Pirate Party.

SMAP's Tsuyoshi Kusanagi is arrested for public nudity. The Japanese media has a typical knee-jerk reaction.

Re: The News Topic
Legal ripoffs "Gad you have to love lawyers."
And of course the WEST hasn't given a response
*Why am I not surprised?*
New motto:
"Go back to the stone ages.. Something the Chinese Government seems to understand."
So they swipe our IP and use it and we get squat? They are assuming we are going to sit around and do nothing too.. *Bad assumption me thinks.*

Re: The News Topic
Predictably, the Swine Flu has turned into an excuse for Republican media personalities to voice racist sentiments.
I just want to say to anyone who is blaming this new disease on Mexicans or Latinos:
SHUT UP, RACIST MORONS!!!

Will a bill, passed by the legislature and signed into law by Governor John Baldacci, Maine becomes the fifth state to allow gay marriage. New Hampshire is poised to soon become the sixth. The age of bigotry is ending at last!
