In a nation where Kleenex may be too expensive for the masses, North Koreans are reportedly being sent to labour camps for failing to cry during the official mourning period for Kim Jong-Il.

The North Korean government appears to have completed "criticism sessions" which allow neighbours and co-workers to identify people who didn't cry, or at least didn't appear genuine in shedding tears.

The minimum sentence for failing to mourn according to the script is six months in a labour camp. Given that life in North Korean society isn't much fun, it's a good bet that the country's labour camps are a nasty bit of work.

Can that country just implode somehow?

You sound like such an idiot whenever you talk about countries blowing up or imploding.

...that seemed to come out of no where

im not shocked and appalled, its a different culture.
