Business and shopping opportunities in North Korea

Looking for a new gift for a loved one? Or perhaps a good source of imports for that boutique you have always wanted? Don’t look any further! The answer is found in the happy-go-lucky land of North Korea!

For a truly diverse shopping experience, the DPRK is now offering a variety of goods for you! From cosmetics to cars, crabs to mini-submarines there are an endless selection of great items to choose from. Just check out the Official Business Webpage of the DPRK for all the great opportunities that await you.

No woman feels lovelier than these factory workers when they wear North Korean cosmetics! On the job (only 17 hours a day) or out on the town (before curfew at a state-sanctioned party gathering) these products are among the best in the world. The joys of looking like you live on more than 8 ounces of rice a day can be yours too with North Korean cosmetics.

But lets on forget about those great boats! These high-speed vessels are perfect for all you near-shore military or militia needs. If subtlety is more your style, choose from one of many styles of mini-subs for those “special” trips to the Japanese coast. You can fit more than one Japanese kidnap victim in one of these little treasures.

If there is one thing North Koreans are known for, it is their sense of style and love of the fine things in life. Be sure to check out the spring collection of hand made garments from the DPRK. Look at the unmatched style and quality of this item! They might not eat very well in North Korea, but they sure do dress nicely. China might make all the clothes in Wal*mart but they don’t offer anything as stylish as this piece.

What ever you need to start your small business or to arm your militia, the DPRK is the place to go.

Finally, someone who understands the challenges of being the dad of two girls

Now there is a website that is the perfect blend of girlie froo-froo crap (stuff my 2 and 4 year old daughters would love) and extreme self-protection. Check out GlamGuns.com for all your girl’s assault rifle and bayonet needs.

I can’t think of anything I want more for my kids’ next birthdays than the Dora the Explorer Knife/Bayonet.

My daughter would totally go for this “My Little Carbine” if it weren’t for those pesky California gun laws.

Anyway, I guess prom night won’t be so nerve wracking with the girls packing some major glam heat and a few extra inches of cold steel. The protective father side of me can now sleep soundly knowing that they are well armed.

Celebrate the new year with a kinder, happier rifle!

Happy New Year! Found this picture on Reddit and couldn’t resist. Here is the original post. If I am ever gunned down, I hope it is with a rifle as friendly and non-threatening as this one.

In other news, I am happy to announce that most of the really difficult portion of the moving process is complete and I can now devote some time to kicking my writing staff in the rear. I was unable to attract any new hires so I can’t promise any dramatic improvement in content or quality of writing.

For those of you who regularly read the Brick, I guess we have been doing good enough.

Happy Pearl Harbor Day!!!

Don’t for get to take a moment to remember this important event in our American history.

I guess it is a pretty big day for Japanese history as well, so you Japanese people can remember it too.

Oh, and since it brought America into the war which led to the butt-kicking of Nazi Germany, you Germans can think about it for a minute or two also.

Also the Brits and the French should probably take a moment to feel lucky that Japan did this and bring the Americans into the war and save their butts.

And the Chinese and Russians too.

And the Filipinos.

Okay… so EVERYBODY take a minute and think about this day and what it meant for the world. Unless you don’t like history. Then you can just go about your day and do whatever you want.

Happy Turkey Day

What did the mother turkey say to her disobedient children?

recalls and stupidity

There was a new recall on kid’s stuff today.

Probably one of the greatest new baby items on the market is the Bumbo. It was a tremendous help with raising our second child after she turned about 6 weeks old.

The genius is in the simplicity. The seat is made from a polyurethane foam that wraps around a child to hold them in a cozy sitting position. It can be used as soon as they can support the weight of their own cranium. We used it so much it is in almost all of her pictures for the first 6 months.

The recall is due to some kids falling off tables (presumably when the seat was left unattended on a table with a kid in it) and cracking their little heads. Okay, so some people are idiots to leave their kids on a table without being able to intercede in a sudden bout of gravity. But is this really worth recalling a million seats? It is not even a design flaw! It is bad parenting!

If we are going to recall everything on the market that could cause a kid to fall down then maybe we should consider recalling the cause of most injuries… the ground.

This large, immobile object is the cause of countless injuries in both children and adults. It comes in a variety of dangerous outer shells from concrete, tile, stone, and brick. Out of the home these surfaces can be covered by water or even ice, making it significantly more dangerous and likely to cause a bad fall.

Both inside and out, the ground (or floor) is the most likely thing to cause a serious injury in the result of a fall. The greater the height, the more impact the ground has on its victims.

Most people can tell personal accounts of negative encounters with the ground. My child recently broke a tooth when she fell on some tile covered floor in Texas, but these dangerous items can be found almost everywhere.

This is an open letter to everyone…

RECALL FLOORS AND HARD GROUND IMMEDIATELY!

If this does not happen soon, I say we boycott all ground everywhere.

Colbert’s bid for the Presidency is a threat to National Unity

First of all, I would like to say that I am a big fan of Steven Colbert’s show. Hilarious.

And we have all heard about his recent announcement that he was running for President of the United States (but only in South Carolina).

If you support this effort and are in South Carolina you can help get petition signatures HERE.

But now there are some people at the FEC who think he is breaking campaign financing law. Good distraction from investigations into other more likely candidates breaking FEC campaign laws.

But the real issue is not about campaign financing. And it isn’t about making a mockery of the election process…

It is about the real possibility that he might win in South Carolina.

Let us not forget that South Carolina is a state with a history of rebellion and attempts to secede from the Union. If Steven Colbert wins in the only state he is running in, it could be a justification for a new secession movement. With a comical mastermind at its helm… it just might work.
