North Korea calls off joint Olympic event with South
Goodness, that was quick. But spoilt brats and psychopaths do have trouble playing nicely with others.
[Al Jazeera] North Korea has cancelled a joint cultural performance with artists from the South Korea, Seoul officials have said.

South Korea's unification ministry on Monday said that Pyongyang had called off an event set to take place at North Korea's Mount Kumgang on February 4 as part of a series of events in the lead up to the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, South Korea's official news agency Yonhap reported.

Seoul called the "unilateral" move "very regrettable".

Yonhap said North Korea cited "biased" media reports as a reason to cancel the performance.

South Korean media had expressed concern that the joint events could be in violation of UN Security Council sanctions in place against Pyongyang over its nuclear weapons programme, Yonhap reported.

Pyongyang reportedly also took issue with South Korean reports regarding an "internal event", an apparent reference to a military parade possibly taking place on February 8 to mark the 70th anniversary of the Korean People's Army, Yonhap said.

On Friday, unification minister Cho Myoung-gyon called the potential parade, scheduled one day before the start of the Olympics, "intimidating".

"Kim Pudge Jong-un
...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished...
apparently wants to show his absolute power," Yonhap quoted Cho as saying.
