Word out of North Korea is that authorities have begun punishing those caught mourning poorly at Kim Jong Il’s passing.

A source from North Korea’s North Hamgyong Province told Daily NK:

The authorities are handing down at least six months in a labor-training camp to anybody who didn’t participate in the organized gatherings during the mourning period, or who did participate but didn’t cry and didn’t seem genuine.

I’m surprised they’re not awarding some kind of prize to those who cried the hardest.

Some dude defaced a church sign in Carolina and made it say that Beyonce’s baby is the spawn of Satan. These guys fell for it:

Now, I’ve done my own research into this matter and came to the conclusion that this is nothing but a scheme by the Russians. I mean, if you rearrange the letters in “retards” (which these people obviously are) you’ll get “Red Tsar.” Who was the Red Tsar? Joseph Stalin! These are his people in a mission to vilify America and its celebrities! WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!11!1one1one

Orange juice prices have hit a record high.

Trying to speak on the matter after having an OJ-less breakfast, president Obama had this face to show:

Take that, Apple!

Stephen Hawking has recently sent a letter to Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in which he said: “My speech input is very, very slow these days. Is there any way Intel could help?” Intel tasked a few groups to see what can be done to help Stephen, and they’ve built him a custom system based around the Lenovo X220 tablet.

The computer features an Intel Core i7 processor along with a forward-facing webcam, which Stephen uses to place phone calls using Skype.

 

Underneath the wheelchair is the black box, which contains an audio amplifier, voltage regulators and a USB hardware key that receives the input from the IR sensor on Stephen’s eyeglasses. The hardware voice synthesizer sits in another black box on the back of the chair and receives commands from the computer via a USB-based serial port.

Naturally, the PC runs Windows 7, because that’s what brilliant people require.
