    I've heard of being desperate for attention but this sure takes the cake.

    If it weren't literally impossible to land a human being in a celestial body full of plasma held by magnetic fields at 5,800 Kelvin, 4 hours to travel 1.496 × 108 km is pretty darn impressive.

    All jokes aside, it was kind of a "really NK?" for me. Keep trying guys.

    Soon enough the entire world is going to consider the country of North Korea as the world's class clown, because this is just getting boring and dumb the way they want attention. The title alone just makes you think "oh brother", and then you read that it took 4 hours, and that's just where the impossible amount of facepalms come into play

    Not sure if they were being serious or aiming to be funny. And I thought the whole "We found proof of unicorns!" thing was ridiculous.

    Wait, they got to the sun in about 4 hours? The real news is that they discovered a way to move through time.

    You know, this gives me hope.
    I have now seen North Korea making drunk boasts that make no sense. That means one day, I hope we can be friends, drunk together!

    I really can't tell if people are believing this, but it's satire. Waterford Whisper News (the source) is a satirical site.
    Regardless, I found this hilarious. It does sound like something North Korea would do...on South Park.

    You're implying that the world already takes them seriously. Fun fact, we don't.

    Anyway, this is hilarious. Though I'm not sure if the claims are legit or someone making up a story to make North Korea sound even more pathetic. Every story about North Korea just makes you feel sad for them.

    The fact that the poster on eTeknix didn't realize it was satire really says a lot about that site.

    I didn't even click the link. I was already suspicious about it. I should have read your post more closely. BUT I FIGURED IT OUT ANYWAYS. Oh well, looks like satire is lost on some people.

    I' m right there with you. Fake news aside the reality isn' t that far off. Hilarious at face value, but then I remember that Kim Jong Un is basically King Joffrey and my smirk fades real quick.
