North Korea Threatens South Korea Over Christmas Lights 441
K7DAN writes "North Korea warned South Korea on Sunday of 'unexpected consequences' if Seoul displays Christmas lights near the tense border, and vowed to retaliate for what it called 'psychological warfare.' From the article: 'The tree-shaped, 30 metre-high steel structure on Aegibong hill - some 3km (2 miles) from the border - was illuminated by thousands of small light bulbs last year. It could be seen from the North's major city of Kaesong across the border, according to media reports. Pyongyang has previously accused Seoul of using the tree to spread the Christian message to people inside the secular state.'"

what it called 'psychological warfare.'
Big words for a country that built an entire town [wikipedia.org] on their side of the border, just for propaganda.
Yeah, well think about it. The government of North Korea is such an evil bunch of feckwits they can't even get coal for Christmas.

I have an easy solution. Just put up a giant menorah instead. Then you won't be spreading a Christian message.

Coal is expensive, bub. In Europe, really naughty kids are getting Euro's in their stockings instead.

Don't knock the Euro. It won't be long before those bills will be rare and valuable collector's items.
