Starving North Koreans 'are forced to eat their children’

HUNGRY parents in North Korea have been caught eating their CHILDREN to avoid starvation, according to reports.

One father is said to have been executed by firing squad for killing his two kids for food.

And it has sparked fears there could be further cases of cannibalism in the country.

The Sunday Times told how undercover reporters recorded several horror stories from inside the poverty-stricken nation.

They included one man who dug up his grandchild's corpse to eat and another who boiled his child and ate the flesh.

Thousands of North Koreans are feared to be starving to death while their chubby leader Kim Jong-Un regularly dines on banquets.

It is claimed that more than 10,000 people could have died from in the provinces south of the capital Pyongyang alone.

Bad Mouth the North Korean Army all you want wiseguy, but realize that orphans in Aroostook County would kill for the lil guy's hat*. Also realize that with a very short lifespan, North Koreans are drafted for national service at age 9.

In re the other thing: obviously what really happened here is that The NKs received a faultily translated copy of some essays by Swift, and completely missed the ironical intent.

God knows what they would make of the Hardy Boys.

Shoot low, men!
