You’d think North Korea would have stopped reading the papers by now:
The Australian newspaper Brisbane Metro behaved so sordid as to describe the DPRK as “Naughty Korea” when carrying the news of London Olympics standings. This is a bullying act little short of insulting the Olympic spirit of solidarity, friendship and progress and politicizing sports …
The Brisbane Metro will remain as a symbol of [a] rogue paper for its misdeed to be cursed long in Olympic history. The infamy is the self-product of the naughty paper Brisbane Metro which dared challenge the spirit of Olympic, common desire and unanimous will of mankind.
Their copy editor appears to have had the day off.
Laugh all you like, Aussie scum, but remember—it’s all fun and games until the KCNA starts reading your artillery coordinates out. Given North Korea’s command of Google Maps, I’d be very concerned right now… if I lived in New Zealand.

I love the way many Koreans use “naughty”.
It seems that my editing *did* pay off.
“Naughty Korea” is so much more fun than any sparkling tag line.
“Hey, foreigners, just be glad MBC has never run a PSA like this.”
Reminds me of some of the ones that used to run on AFKN.
‘Kim, Jong-un receives gifts from foreign companies’
“The dear respected Kim, Jong-un received gifts from the International Reinsurance Intermediaries Haakon Ltd. of Switzerland and the Cunningham Lindsey International Ltd. of the U.K.”
First there were the HSBC and Standard Chartered banks dealing with drug cartels and terrorists, now we have British companies playing nicey nice with the most autocratic regime in the world.
I don’t think I have ever heard of an Australia company giving gifts to NK leaders.
Just spent a peaceful week in Brisbane one week ago – it truly is a wonderful city – much better than naughty Korea.
I just wish the Brisbane metro had used stronger more harsh language – not that I think many people read that newspaper…
The “Brisbane Metro” newspaper is a free newspaper handed out to comuters at train stations etc – and is known as “the MX” – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MX_(newspaper)
Or New Guinea..

Rumor has it that the Taepodong-2 can hit Sydney…
“Naughty Korea” seems taking good control of PRC:
