Government authorities have ordered the public to not show any signs of happiness while North Korea commemorates Kim Jong Il's death.
Kim Jong Il ruled North Korea from 1994 until his death in 2011, and was then succeeded by his third and youngest son, current leader Kim Jong Un.
Ten years after his death, North Koreans are being forced to observe the 11-day period of mourning where they are not allowed to laugh or drink alcohol.
They added: 'In the past many people who were caught drinking or being intoxicated during the mourning period were arrested and treated as ideological criminals. They were taken away and never seen again.
'Even if your family member dies during the mourning period, you are not allowed to cry out loud and the body must be taken out after it's over. People cannot even celebrate their own birthdays if they fall within the mourning period.'

Now if the ROK has any savvy, they'll broadcast the funniest jokes they can think of at the border to make the guards laugh.
Do we have any joke telling drones?

Un supposedly doing this for Il, but he is just trying to weed out dissenters who will be put down with mortar fire.

These could be the Covid protocols for some countries. Hard to tell the difference.

11 days? That’s nothing. I haven’t laughed since January 20 this year.

This is the funniest joke I can think of. Are they still allowed to starve and be arrested arbitrarily?
