North Korea Threatens Colorado City, Inaccurately

By RAVI SOMAIYA

North Korea, which seemed to be running out of tubs to thump, found a new target for its ire in a propaganda video released Saturday on Uriminzokkiri, a government Web site.

To a soundtrack of fervent synthesizers and inspirational light rock, the video announces that North Korea will aim nuclear weapons (that it may, or may not, be able to launch) at Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Honolulu and… Colorado Springs, Co.

The unorthodox move — apparently an attempt to target the North American Aerospace Defense Command, or Norad, and the United States Air Force Academy — is compounded by the fact that Pyongyang does not quite know where the city is. The map shown in the video places it somewhere in Louisiana.

1. dear north korea, google map is your friend. oh, and by the way, wasn't worried when we were

one of the top three targets in the nation during the height of the cold war. pretty sure I am not going to be worried about an enemy that can't even find us on the map. ps, if you DO manage to find us--focus on the family is that large complex on the northeast side of the city. thank you.

3. All right, now I am very concerned.

Shit's getting very intense! Those lawn jarts are gonna get chucked right over my haid! Or at Shreveport - (maybe they think GM is still making Hummers there) - hard to say.

4. No,no...

I think that's more like Arkansas. I noticed that first missile shot was a dud I think. It veered sideways toward the end but that was probably to throw us off.
