    Report: North Korea Getting More Ass Than A Toilet Seat

    Officials credit innovative supply-side economics in creating a temporary shortage of tiger-handlers, cocaine and strippers.

    PYONGYANG — North Korean officials proudly announced Friday that a $6.3 billion cryptocurrency theft had boosted its economy by approximately 25%.

    Sources indicate the theft is already trickling down to escorts, bottle-service and cocaine dealers, transforming the isolated dictatorship into a much larger Las Vegas, albeit with stricter checkout procedures.

    “The West says we have no private sector, but I'd like to see you get your hands on a reasonably priced ice sculpture or a panther handler this weekend,” said economic development adviser Kim Yong-Chun, speaking from behind a velvet rope beside an overflowing champagne fountain.

    He credited supply-side reforms and new economic intermediaries in arranging discreet transportation, imported liquor, and rendezvous with eager concubines.

    Commenting from within the Ministry of Afterhours, party procurement director Kang Wi-hun insisted he maintained punctilious records distinguishing ideologically decadent Western cocaine and hookers from cocaine and hookers purchased to celebrate victories over the West.

    The Batshit Bugle is satire. We invent fake news quotes, sources, and story details for comedic effect. References to real public figures are intentional parody of public discourse and should not be mistaken for factual reporting. We occasionally make up names of characters for fake news stories... Any resemblance to actual people, living, dead or undead, is unintentional and coincidental.
