    No shit. Wonder how much of the profits went straight to Lil' Kim.

    "the official western website of the mansudae art studio", i lol'd.

    maybe! north korea has their own secret communist internet network that is only viewable in north korea, and the north koreans can only view those websites? it's doubtful, but would be AWESOME.

    (not that many north koreans can afford computers or technology, but still)

    A steady supply of Great Leader sex tapes!
    Perhaps great E-Bay/Craig's List deals on tree bark and apple cores?

    From the Wikipedia article:

    Am I reading this right? The construction is being paid for not with cash, but with 75-100 acres of land valued at $27 million?

    If I am reading it correctly -- and if the sentence is itself correct, which I realize is questionable -- then what does North Korea want with a whole bunch of land in Senegal?

    When I saw the thread title I was hoping North Korea had built a 220 story stone statue of President Obama on the Cape of Good Hope.

    Closer to the Equator (and therefore a better place to launch satellites and spacecraft from)? :shrug:
