    Bah, I don't believe it. The shadows are all in the wrong place and there's no sponsorship by Rayban. I don't trust that Wun Hung Lo.

    I really hope that in 2000 years folk aren't digging up articles like this and thinking it's representative of mankind right now. Imagine if they end up thinking the onion is serious....

    Yes, pretty hot news. Surprised it hasn't been spotted - must have a flare for it.

    Or maybe it was the "Soaraway Sun"

    I do wonder if someone just made this up for the LOLs and whether North Korea actually did say this. The BBC and the large media outlets have said nothing about this.

    Edit!!

    Yep,I was right,it is a piece of satire:

    The Tweaktown article said it was reported by the Korean Central News Agency,ie,the KCNA which is false.

    It came from the website Waterford Whispers News which is a satire website.
