#1 Laugh, but I think this group is onto something. Of course the NK will claim the Radios are toxic and cause sterialization. Radios in NK have ONE stations as do the TVs, but there is nothing to listen to or watch.

#2 That's f'ing brilliant--announce it beforehand so the NKors can be the lookout to shoot the balloons down, announce that they're bombs, and issue edicts proclaiming death to anyone who touches the radios without reporting them to the authorities.

Why didn't they just do it and crow about it later?! It's not a bad idea, but their schedule is back asswards.

#4 ââGive the Ear to a North Koreanââ

Avoiding the obvious joke ("...because they're tired of eating grass"), they'd have done better using Happy Meals instead of radios.

#7 Human rights activists in South Korea unveiled a campaign on Monday to send radios into North Korea using balloons, in a bid to open up the secretive communist country.

Uh huh. Airdropping radios will "open up" NK. Sounds like these people were collectively hit with the Stupid Stick.
