North Korean President Kim Jong Il Volunteers For War With United States

"Bring it on!" Iraq may be doing everything possible to avoid an impending war with the U.S. but North Korea is "ready to throw down," said Kim Jong Il in a statement Wednesday.   In the last month North Korea has activated all of its nuclear facilities, teased, pinched and kicked out U.N. nuclear inspectors, stepped up production of its Taepo Dong-2 nuclear weapons program, locked aforementioned nuclear weapons onto U.S. spy planes and threatened to start putting metal objects into its microwaves.  "The Unites States acts all tough but when someone actually tries to start a war with them they get all sissy" said a source close to a guy who knows someone who lives in North Korea.  

Official U.S. response has been to ignore the tiny dictator.  "The immediate clear and present danger represented by North Korea is not as urgent as the potential unproven possibility that Iraq may one day indirectly be responsible for something that happens in the distant future."  said U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.  Meanwhile, Kim Jong Il makes plans for a "special" genocide that he hopes will finally attract world attention.

"If anybody out there has the Peterson's remote control we just want them to return it.  No questions will be asked." said the Austin Chief of Police.

Impassioned pleas by the Peterson's have thus far been fruitless.  "Please don't hurt our remote!  We love our remote!  We just want our remote back." 

The Peterson's T.V. is currently stuck on the WB Network.  If the remote is not located in the next few hours they will be forced to watch Charmed tonight.

"I miss my family," said camper #595672, "I had a newborn daughter when I came here. She will be celebrating her second birthday in a couple weeks.  I just wish I could see her again but they burned my eyes out with acid during my last 'Question-Time' session."

Camp counselors have expressed concern over the last few weeks due to the increase in suicide by the camper population.  "We just don't understand it."  said one staff advisor.  "We starve em' for 36 hours and then march em' in circles under the blazing hot sun while playing Christian Gospel music.  They ought to be having the time of their lives here!  It's like a jamboree!"

"I have been getting a lot of exercise," noted camper #347625.  "My upper arm strength has significantly increased since they had me start digging my own grave but I cannot really say it has been a fun time."

One starving and dehydrated camper dropped to his knees after an "accidental" bludgeoning an wept,  "I speak to Allah daily but the counselors force us to pray to the North and I fear He cannot hear me.  Perhaps it is as counselor Tim said when he told us that Allah is as dead as we will soon be."

Despite complaints, the population of Camp X-Ray is expected to rise significantly in the months to come as more campers are rounded up around the globe.  "I thought I would never see my brother again," remarked camper #939673.  "But when they let me out of the 'discipline hole' on thursday he was lying in the bunk next to mine.  I guess most of my family will be here by the end of the year."
