    North Korea fires missive at Australian paper mX over 'naughty' medal tally joke

    NORTH Korea has mX in its sights after the paper's medal tally cheekily referred to the regime as "Naughty Korea" and its democratic cousin south of the DMZ as "Nice Korea".

    In a move labelled "unusual" by The Wall Street Journal's man in Seoul, Alastair Gale, the nuclear-armed regime fired a missive overnight from Pyongyang at mX via its official mouthpiece, the Korean Central News Agency.

    Fortunately for mX, which has editions in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, the regime believes the paper is called Brisbane Metro.

    The missive includes bizarre lines like: "[the paper] behaved so sordid" in "this bullying act", which was "foolish, degrading".

    Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.
