Hard to tell if they're serious or just trolling the western media.
"I have declared war on the rich who prosper on our poverty, the politicians who lie to us with smiling faces, and all the mindless, heartless robots who protect them and their property." - Assata Shakur
^with regards to trolling, I don't think that the DPRK's sense of humor or irony is nearly that advanced.
"Win, lose or draw...long as you squabble and you get down, that's gangsta."
Haha, I forgot how wacky the DPRK's propaganda organ is. From their news website, this was literally one of the headlines from a couple days ago:
Holy shit, some chickens got sick in a south Korean farmhouse?!
"Win, lose or draw...long as you squabble and you get down, that's gangsta."
This is actually a brilliant tourism hook for North Korea.
Seriously, they'll get hordes of little girls flocking in from all over the world to see the 'land of the unicorns'.
It's genius!
Any real change implies the breakup of the world as one has always known it, the loss of all that gave one an identity, the end of safety. And at such a moment, unable to see and not daring to imagine what the future will now bring forth, one clings to what one knew, or dreamed that one possessed. Yet, it is only when a man is able, without bitterness or self-pity, to surrender a dream he has long possessed that he is set free - he has set himself free - for higher dreams, for greater privileges.”

Old news.
Seriously now, it doesn't actually mention unicorns as such, I reckon this has something to do with mythology and folk legends and related placenames.
Whatever you might think of them, North Koreans ( the leadership of the country ) aren't crazy.
I'm not even going to click on that. Guess why.
Kim was a weird guy for sure, but definitely not some insane moron the Internet and media make him out to be.
Besides what is this doing in Politics?
Man, that shit about "Pulgasari" is so fucking weird. I've always thought that's the strangest story about Kim Jong-Il that's actually true.

I enjoyed that movie. So what is this doing in politics? Moving it to non-political.

A soon as they find pegasi i'm moving to Ponyville.. i mean Pyongyang.
"But like Trotskyites working with fascists in the USSR to plant no warning bombs to rip out the lungs of Soviet children from their tiny rib cages you will probably choose to turn a blind eye." - RedSunRising

This type of media nonsense goes hand in hand with others like the moon ain't made out of cheese. Pretty sure.

I'm surprised that there are so many xenophobes and gullible "leftists" on Revleft. What the archaeologists found was an area with the words "Unicorn Lair" carved into a rock:
"A rectangular rock carved with words "Unicorn Lair" stands in front of the lair. The carved words are believed to date back to the period of Koryo Kingdom (918-1392)."
"The discovery of the unicorn lair, associated with legend about King Tongmyong, proves that Pyongyang was a capital city of Ancient Korea as well as Koguryo Kingdom."
Nothing about the DPRK believing in unicorns or believing that it was in fact a real "unicorn lair". Bourgeois media has twisted it that way obviously. As soon as the DPRK is brought up everyone is ready to throw their class analysis out of the window and ready to uphold the bourgeois gospel.

I wasn't really sure where to put this. I guess for some odd reason, I thought politics=things going on in the world, so I don't know.

The reason the DPRK reported this is because the location of the "lair of unicorn" mentioned in Korean legends "proves that Pyongyang was a capital city of Ancient Korea as well as Koguryo Kingdom."
This is just another effort by the DPRK to show that it is the "true" heir to Korean national culture.

the title of this thread scared me... thought i'd finally been discovered
Well, if the story about him kidnapping short people and dropping them on abandon islands as a eugenics experiment is true, you may have to change your mind.
Seems very nationalistic (in a reactionary way) to me...
