In an effort to mend the Bamboo Fences, Beijing held a parade for visiting delegates from Pyonyang last week to highlight the little Neolithic nation's numerous achievements throughout 2010. This formation entitled "Those Who Ate Food Last Year," was particularly stirring to the delegates."Of course," said one tiny humorless delegate on condition of being fed a dumpling. "It's not as bad as that; everyone eats in North Korea... but to eat food, now that's a luxury."
The formation followed the "abject belligerence majorettes," featuring graceful young women who hurled western epithets in time with flag dancers and music. Free radium lip gloss and iodine pills were also given to every delegate during the "Welcome to the Atomic Age" segment. It was followed by a dazzling, and probably radioactive, mushroom cloud-shaped fireworks display.
"Facts are for suckers; news is for suckers twice a day at six and ten -- with sports and weather."
