This is not a joke. This is North Korean Official Web site. I got it from a UK news service:

It is available in a few languages. Chinese, English and Russian, of course

Hmmm, has anyone checked the date? The same date on all links.

ETA, after a look around, I'm fairly well convinced the date is an unfortunate coincidence.

I haven't found the feedback link yet. :p

This is even more convincing.....

Army and People of DPRK Pledge Revenge on Enemies: CPRK Secretariat

...Upon hearing the statement of the Supreme Command of the Korean People's Army, all service personnel and people are renewing their firm resolution to deal merciless and retaliatory blows at the vicious provocateurs and achieve a final victory in the war for national reunification.

Terrified by the toughest measures taken by the DPRK recently, the south Korean puppet group is letting loose a spate of invectives that those measures are aimed to "rally forces to consolidate the social system" and an "intentionally orchestrated farce" and spreading all kinds of lies against the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK....

Did anybody explain why North Korea's shocking (not really) "official site" bypasses the .kp top level domain?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2

Are people proceeding on the assumption this thing really is real? If so, why?

And, BT, which "UK News service" said it was? Link and context handy?

It is. Let me track down the UK source. It was the Telegraph. Once sec...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/

The official North Korean web site links were taken from this story

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...orea-video-shows-Washington-under-attack.html
The four-minute video titled "Firestorms will rain on the Headquarters of War" was posted Monday on the YouTube channel of North Korea's official website, Uriminzokkiri, which distributes news and propaganda from the state media.

The site links to the official news agency (propaganda machine).

According to this, http://www.ip-adress.com/whois/uriminzokkiri.com it's hosted by a company in Shenyang, China, which is only a few hundred km from Pyong Yang.

I've tried a few searches on the address/es and they all come back to this....Shenyang University of Science and Technology Cultural Palace Teaching Section, in a building called Shenyang Cultural Palace.
