North Korea's Kim Jong-un has banned sarcasm because he fears people only agree with him ironically, according to reports. Government officials were apparently warned they will "not be forgiven" if they are heard being sarcastic. Mass meetings were organised across the country to spread the word about the new order.
“One state security official personally organised a meeting to alert local residents to potential ‘hostile actions’ by internal rebellious elements," Radio Free Asia's Korean Services quoted a source as saying. “The main point of the lecture was ‘keep your mouths shut’.”
One of the banned phases is “this is all America’s fault”, alluding to Mr Kim's default position of blaming the US for everything that goes wrong. “This habit of the central authorities of blaming the wrong country when a problem’s cause obviously lies elsewhere has led citizens to mock the party,” the source told Radio Free Asia.

So, using the /sarcasm tag is punishable by death?
I’d better leave FR, quickly....
You rill rike me and you rill rike it! Or I kill you!
Next thing you know, Kim Jong-un will decree that no one may look him in the eye. Wait, that was Hillary. Oh well, they do share the same tailor.
“YES Master!! What?...Is that not what you wished to hear?
Fine then..NO Master!!, there, happy now?” Said Barbara Eden in her harem outfit.
That will work.
So much for my plans to retire there....
This is "Bush's Fault®".
“Move a little more to your left, Hans.”
Kim Jong-un is the 2nd smartest man in the world!
Must have gotten the idea from PBS banning all comments because of the ones lauding their "intelligence".
I imagine compliance is pretty good. This guy executes people with mortars and anti-aircraft artillery.
This is a brilliant idea dear leader.
There was dialog in that series?
One of the NK party apparatchiks fell asleep recently during one of Kim Jong-un’s interminably boring speeches.
Kim had him shot with an anti-aircraft gun.
If you mock the Dear Leader, off with your head!
Mockery is now forbidden in North Korea.
Somewhat. I recall a lot of ‘bottles being rubbed’.
President Trump needs to direct that we develope a space based weapons system that is individual man targetable . Some sort of laser . Call it the Global Opposition Destroyer
acronym = G.O.D.
Use it on Kim Jong Fatass and Ayatollah Pedophile
