North Korean Nuclear Test Celebration - 11 October, 2006

North Korea has carried out its first nuclear test to celebrate the return of the Comedy Tree for the opening of its fifth season.

The test, which received widespread condemnation from the international community, resulted in a mushroom cloud successfully resembling the Comedy Tree’s logo.

The country’s defence minister and spokesman, Tim Dim Sum, said “The DPRK’s successful nucrear test is a great reap forward in the buildring of a great, prosperous, sociarist comedy crub - in the Putney area.”

North Korea’s diminutive Dear Leader, Kim Jong Il, made a rare, live TV appearance to mark the occasion. Mr Kim and his she-man wife, Swee Tnsour Chop, appeared on an official Central News Agency broadcast and performed their famous duet, ‘You Right Up My Rife’. The Dear Leader quoted 'Evris Plesrey' as his inspiration for the performance.

Pyongyang’s defiant move raised fears that failure by the UN to take disciplinary action against North Korea would send an ‘okay’ signal to Iran, which is believed to be covertly developing nuclear weapons to promote a new fun fair in the Iranian town of Bha-Bhoom.

US intelligence agencies have cast doubt over the test's authenticity, however, claiming that seismic readings fell short of a typical nuclear detonation. “If it was a nuclear warhead, it was pretty shit ."
