North Korea uses racial slurs against Obama

After bombarding South Korea's female president with sexist invectives, North Korea's state news agency has fired off racist insults against President Barack Obama that U.S. officials condemn as "disgusting."

North Korea is notorious for inflammatory, warlike rhetoric against its rivals South Korea and the U.S. but had rarely used racial slurs in its verbal attacks. Pyongyang's tone has grown angrier in recent weeks as it threatens to conduct a fourth nuclear test.

In a lengthy May 2 dispatch released only in Korean, Pyongyang's Korean Central News Agency published comments from a factory worker who said Obama has the "shape of a monkey" and made many other crude insults.

"It would be better for him to live with other monkeys at a wild animal park in Africa ... and licking bread crumbs thrown by onlookers," worker Kang Hyok at Chollima Steel Complex was quoted as saying.

Marie Harf, a State Department spokeswoman, said Thursday that the North Korean dispatch was "offensive and ridiculous and absurd."

"I don't know how many words I can use up here to describe the rhetoric ... It's disgusting," she told reporters at the Foreign Press Center in Washington.
Just when you thought they couldn't get any more clichéd.

or childish.  I think it's because no one's paying attention to them anymore.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

Yoo Ho-yeol, professor of North Korea studies at Korea University in South Korea, said North Korea is trying to get attention by publishing such comments through its state-run news agency. But he added that it tried to distance the government from the remarks by attributing them to a citizen.

Making racist and sexist comments to get attention while hiding behind another identity? Why, I wonder where I've seen that strategy before...

I'm guessing the next step is for Kim-Jong Un to start a video conference with Obama and then cut away to a Rick Astley video.

Bismuth generates electricity in tandem with telluride when you embed it in a chip and heat one side....and that's MOAR electricity than North Korea generates across the country.



See? How uber EDGY North Korea is at night! Kim Jong Un winz again!

I agree with everyone here.  Kim Jong-Un is practically yelling, "HEY! LOOK AT ME! I CAN BE A BADA** TOO!  LOOK HOW OBAMA ISN'T RESPONDING BECAUSE HE KNOWS HOW BADA** I AM!!"

Maybe he's jealous of all the attention Vladimir Putin is getting.  He wants the UN to pay attention to him, not Putin.

On one hand it might have been just the words of random NK citizen, nothing more.

On the other hand the they did do a conscious choice to air that comment and most/all things on their TV is scripted propaganda.

We all make fun of Kim-Jong Un, but I still want the name of his hair stylist.

So that you could kill the stylist and ensure that such monstrosities of hair will never be seen again?
