NoKo Invents New Time Zone

Legal Insurrection: North Korea is king of melding the heartbreaking and the bizarre, and today, they surpassed themselves on the “bizarre” end. In a fit of nationalistic (and militantly anti-Japanese) spirits, the DPRK has created its very own time zone.

Yes, really; and they specifically chose today to do it, in celebration of the 70th anniversary of Japan surrendering and thus bringing World War II to a close.  more

  1. having time zone slightly off from your neighbors is not that uncommon. All of India which is quite wide, is in the same time zone that happens to be 9 1/2 hours different than the EST in the USA. when we crossed into Nepal the clock shifted another 15 minutes to switch us to 9 3/4 hours different than EST.
    It works for them and when it takes a 15 hour flight to get home
    your body does not care about those 30 or 45 min differences anyway.

  2. Yeah, not like this silly fucking country having everybody (360 million people) adjust their clocks TWICE a fucking year!

    Or dictate what light bulbs we can use!

    Or tell us how our toilet can flush!

    Yeah, those NoKos are REALLY fucking slaves to put up with THAT shit!

  3. They have to have their own time zone since their new Hooflungdung missile is synchronized to it–the timing mechanism was incorrectly set and the only technician able to reset it unfortunately was killed when a mortar round mysteriously fell on his head (while he was tied to a post)–bummer!

  4. I gave my daughter-in-law a desk top time zone clock so she would know what time it was in Afghanistan while my son was over there hunting down jihadis. That’s when I learned about the screwed up differences in their established time over there. Afghanistan is 4 and 1/2 hours off UTC/GMT. I think the extra half hour is the equivalent of flipping the bird to the sane world. Iran does the 1/2 hour thing too.
