I was listening to the radio while assembling some furniture popuko-hammer when I heard the presenter tell a story about how kim-jong-il once beat a few records playing golf, and because he didn’t want those records to ever be broken by anyone, he decided to be a petty little shit and ban hammer golf in the DPRK. Ah yes, totally true story, I’m sure. made-it-the-fuck-up

So I looked up golf in the DPRK, and not only is golf not banned, but apparently they run an annual golf tournament that’s even open to foreign players. wat

It took me literally less than a minute to debunk that ridiculous claim. Even NATOpedia has a page on the fucking tournament. agony But as usual Westerners just can’t help themselves and just have to pull nonsensical claims about bAD cOuNtRy out of their colonial stinky doodoo asses. Unreal. live-slug-reaction
