Portugal, according to the article. Surely South Korea would have been more apt?

Brazil are so poor at present. Surely the North Korean public would hardly bat an eyelid when they beat them?

Open top bus parade round Pyongyang, blow up trophy and everybody's happy. Where's the harm?

Does anyone seriously believe this report? Just another piece of North Korea bashing propaganda isn't it? Most likely source is a South Korean comedy show spoof it seems.

There's a good reason why South Korea aren't in the report

Do some research and you'll see it's just more bullshit, like the business about the dogs being set on the uncle.

This is so obviously not what the North Koreans are reporting. It is the sort of thing that gives credence to those that say that North Korea is 'alright, actually', because they can point to it and say that everything negative that is reported about NK is propaganda and lies.
