an international North Korean gay sex scandal!

Actually, it looks more like a gay kiss and some heavy gay petting. Faith told me about these photos taken by South Koreans across the border of two North Korean troops engaged in a special hug.

Gay Star News reports that the Korean Friendship Association, which is sponsored by the government of North Korea, (DPRK) commented:

"While 'it is not customary for individuals of any sexual orientation to engage in public displays of affection... Homosexuals in the DPRK have never been subject to repression, as in many capitalist regimes around the world."

omf look at this tumped south korean ferry!

At least two people are dead as a rescue effort remains underway after a South Korean passenger ferry began sinking on Wednesday morning. The ship was carrying more than 470 passengers — many of them high school students — when it began to list badly and capsized. One unconfirmed local media outlet reported that the ferry hit a rock.

The rescue operation involving dozens of rescue boats and helicopters has recovered about 180 passengers so far. At least two passengers are confirmed dead and more than 290 are still missing. (via)
