north korea is trying comedy for a change.

From AP:

“If the U.S. imperialists start another war, the army and people of Korea will … wipe out the aggressors on the globe once and for all,” a dispatch from the official Korean Central News Agency said.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Better turn over the kimchi now, Kim Jong-Il.  Don’t forget, we’ve got Barack Obama.

With that, I leave you this little glimpse of what we’re up against:

forgot mother’s day?

Good thing she’s Mother of the Year!  Obama even endorses it.  And Obama is your new bicycle.

it’s very simple.

Microsoft has done you a favor by making IE8 a required high priority update.  Short of downloading a more superior web browser sourced by their competition for you, this is the next best thing.

It’s very simple.

You download the IE8 Blocker Toolkit, I come rickroll your children until they develop irreversible mental instability.

Consider yourself warned.

one two three four i declare an ie6 war.

Interesting. Looks like even our favorite Microsoft exec Steve Ballmer is on board with our little retaliation against the constant evil that is IE6.

From a Norwegian article:

Microsoft recommends end users that are browsing the web with Internet Explorer 6 to upgrade today to benefit from numerous improvements including security features and usability enhancements.

Interoperability is key to enabling developers to continue to create great user experiences on the web. Our commitment to the technical community continues with our significant investment in Internet Explorer 8.

We continue to believe in the importance of supporting the end users and encourage the technical community to work with us in securing a good transition for the users that today are using IE6.

Hope that helps

Looks like Steve Ballmer is a brother for the cause.  Well, more like special consultant.

Here are other cause-related links:
