10 Of The Craziest Rumors From North Korea, Fact-Checked

It's funny that most of these rumors had their own thread here on ATS.

"fact-checked" they say, lol

Fact checked indeed! How can you check the validity of any story from a country where no information gets in or out? All this article does is guess at the likelihood of whether or not the rumors could be true. Useless!!!

It is ironic when a media based blog uses "fact-checking". Having said that, they are simply trying to say that some of the claims are absurd, which they kind of are. However when it comes to North Korea it seems anything is fair game. Or so is my impression as I have never been there, met anyone from there and all I know of North Korea is what I have read about or seen on T.V, probably the same as 99.9% of people who have a comment about it. So I really have no real place to comment.

It would suck to have his hair cut though.

I'm almost certain the haircut thing was started by Wunderground, its like The Onion for electronic music. The site is down at the moment, so I can't confirm.
