Japan from the inside out

A rare bit from North Korea

Posted by ampontan on Sunday, April 22, 2007

A FEW MONTHS AGO, the North Koreans discovered a German who breeds rabbits the size of beagles. They got the bright idea of importing a few as breeding stock to provide the population with a more plentiful supply of meat.

The idea turned out to be not so bright after all. First, the big bunnies eat about as much as people, which defeats the purpose of importing them. Then, the rabbits arrived in the country at a rather inauspicious time. Now the German refuses to sell any more of his rabbits to the North Koreans.

    “…the entire story of Communist economics.”

    Those words best describe what went through my mind when I first read about the giant rabbit story.

    The fact that these rabbits didn’t even get a chance to “do their job” is just another example of how pathetic “deal leader” and his buddies are, when it comes to governing a country.

    How are real states supposed to even take the DPRK seriously when this kind of leadership is at the helm?
