Picture of the Day: Cover of North Korea’s 2017 Calendar

N.K. puts flight crew on 2017 calendar

The cover of a North Korean calendar for 2017, obtained by Yonhap News Agency in Shenyang, China, on Dec. 29, 2016, features pilots and flight attendants of its flag carrier Air Koryo in what observers describe as a bold move considering that previous calendars mostly carried bland photos of scenic views and cultural sites. Next year’s calendar has photos of cabin crew at work during flights, such as giving safety instructions and pouring beer. The calendar marks as holidays the birthdays of the country’s former leaders but not that of current leader Kim Jong-un. (Yonhap)

WTF?

Was the captain’s mother and aunt the same person?

And those flight attendants look a couple chromosomes short of full mongoloid.

I want to fly Air Koryo just because in the developed world freakshow are no longer a thing.

With apologies to Poe:

What you mistake for Down’s Syndrome is merely an under-acuteness of the senses. They loved the old man.
