North Korea Sends Propaganda Packets Via the Han River

This is the first time I have seen the North Koreans try and spread propaganda messages via a river:

South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said Wednesday they found strongly worded North Korean leaflets in the Han River, the first distribution of such propaganda materials via a waterway.

On July 22, the Korean military collected scores of tightly air-filled vinyl bags carrying North Korean leaflets which contained threats of the North’s possible attacks on the South using the intermediate-range Musudan ballistic missile, a spokesman for Seoul’s JCS said in a press briefing.

“North Korea intentionally floated the leaflets toward the mouth of the Han River and were picked up by guard troops near Gimpo,” the spokesman said, citing an analysis by relevant government officials. The river flows through Seoul, South Korea’s capital city, although sources said it is not clear where the leaflets originated from.  [Yonhap]

We’ve gone to far this time! Red Line!
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/07/28/north-korea-says-us-has-crossed-red-line-warns-showdown-over-upcoming-war-games.html

Anyways, the usual threats and posturing. I kind of like this line though:
“The United States has crossed the red line in our showdown,” he said. “We regard this thrice-cursed crime as a declaration of war.”

Thrice Cursed? Look, I’m an Old School D&D Geek, and I couldn’t use the term Thrice Cursed with a straight face, even for my more melodramatic villain!

I like South Korean propaganda packets far more…

…you can huff the gas to get a squeeky voice and sometimes they have a dollar in them.

Those North Korean packets smell like the breath of whoever blew them up.
