The many ways North and South Korea engage in pissing-contests

http://www.cracked.com/article_24034_6-ways-north-south-korea-are-fighting-like-petty-roommates.html

- Who has the bigger pole? (flag-pole)

- They outdid each other by building huge stadiums. (NK won. Also, NK used their's for sports events and to publicly burn traitors alive.)

- SK is sending over balloons with chocolate and porn.

- NK is sending over balloons with garbage.

- SK is offering bribes for NK-citizens to defect to the South.

- NK is kidnapping people who get too close to the border.

- NK had (has?) a program to use female spies to seduce foreigners and become pregnant, then to emotionally blackmail the fathers into doing NK's bidding.
Also, the plan was to create mixed-race babies that don't look korean and train them to be spies.
Also, this insane plan was only installed after NK's previous plans failed: Kidnapping adult Japanese and brainwashing them to be NK's spies failed.
And forcing kidnapped Japanese to breed in captivity also failed.

- Korea used to have a time-zone that was 30 minutes off from Japan's time-zone, but eventually they joined Japan's zone. In 2015, NK said "Fuck You" and went back to that 30-minute-off time-zone, because NK is special, man.

- At the border-crossing between SK and NK, the guards just stand there, staring at each other.
SK sends guards that are young, taller-than-average and martial arts experts.
A commenter of the article noted, that the NK guards look like in their 30s or 40s, possibly chosen for having a family, so they won't dare to defect.
