In January, North Korea began sending over balloons to South Korea full of used toilet paper, cigarette butts, and propaganda messages, according to The Telegraph.
"Stop the anti-North psychological warfare broadcasts that light the fuse of war," some of the messages read. Others encouraged residents to, "Knock out the gang of (South Korean leader) Park Geun-hye."
It's unclear how effective North Korean's marketing campaign will be, since human excrement doesn't exactly inspire warm and fuzzy feelings. Over the past few weeks, the messages appear to have grown even more grotesque, with some going so far as to label Geun-hye, "political filth."

Of course, many people like to smoke on the toilet. At least they're trying to dispose of their trash. They must have decent weather models, because it would suck for them having the balloons blow back onto themselves.
I wonder what South Korea could put into balloons as relatiation?
Ooooh.... how about balloons loaded with KimChi?

or station a crack blowgun battalion there.
And quit hating on kimchee!

Not sure I want balloons of it landing on my front yard, though.

Seems gross on either side.
