NORTH KOREAN “MISSILE” JUST BOTTLE ROCKETS DUCT-TAPED TOGETHER

Satellite photos recently released by the CIA reveal that the “missile” at the center of threats from North Korea is nothing more than a bundle of bottle rockets wrapped in duct tape. Close examination of the photos suggest that the bottle rockets are Chinese-made. China has denied selling the bottle rockets directly to North Korea, and speculation has fallen on “that Korean guy whose been hitting all the fireworks stands in Tennessee” for the last several months. The duct tape appears to be the house brand from the Pyongyang Home Depot. Ballistics analysts Madelyn Guthrie concluded that the missile would be unlikely to reach an altitude great enough to pose a significant threat to the US, Europe, South Korea or “really anybody more than 50 yards from the thing.” Guthrie conceded that the missile still posed some risk, noting that it could “Emit a shower of sparks and should only be used under close adult supervision.” US Secretary of State issued a statement saying that “The world community sincerely hopes that North Korea will go through with it's threats to launch the (air quotes) missile because it could put somebody's eye out.”
