the communist and isolationist North Korea and the westernized democratic South Korea have been at each other throats for years, decades even. Recently it has seemed as if North Korea has only become more erratic and hostile. They've even made attacks on South Korean ships, threatened to use nuclear weapons to blow some shit up. The usual shenanigans.

Despite this North Korea is a desperate place to live in. The conditions are harsh enough as it is, famine is a problem and over the summer they had horrible and devastating floods that caused crisis and suffering for the North Korean people. Over the years South Korea, in an attempt to reach out and help it's northern neighbor... despite the fact that there is a demilitarized zone where there are skirmishes and defections every few years. Even though the Cold War has been pretty much over for years, these two nations haven't gotten past that period in time.

So why has North Korea accepted South Korea's money now? Monsoons happen in this region every year, why is this year different. What has South Korea done to appease North Korea. The answer is obvious, Gangnam Style.

The South Korean musician/rapper/whatever PSY has released a popular house song known as Gangnam style. I find it amusing, despite the fact it sounds like that wretched band LMFAO, the fact I can't hear the lyrics is a plus since LMFAO lyrics are not witty in the slightest. Is it a coincidence that after PSY's Gangnam Style has become so popular that North Korea is finally able to put aside it's differences with another country, especially the country it seems to completely despise at the same time as this amusing little song, along with it's goofy video.

I think not.
