New York City is suing seven ultra-Orthodox business-owners for posting modesty guidelines in their stores, located along a two-block stretch of Lee Avenue, Williamsburg’s main Hasidic shopping street. The signs read: “No shorts, no barefoot, no sleeveless, no low cut neckline allowed in this store.”
…with what lawyers? :)

wouldn’t copying Gangnam have had more success?!? I feel sorry for the millions having to live under this demented regime.
Here’s a translation of the story told by those screen captions, courtesy of the New York Times.
“I had a dream last night, a dream of soaring into space on board our Unha-9 rocket. Our Kwangmyongsong-21 spacecraft got separated from the rocket and traveled through space. I see stars and the green Earth. I also see a unified Korea. Meanwhile, I see black smoke rising somewhere in America,” the dreaming man says. “It appears that the headquarters of evil, which has had a habit of using force and unilateralism and committing wars of aggression, is going up in flames it itself has ignited. Just imagine riding in a Korean spaceship. One day, my dream will come true. No matter how hard the imperialists try to isolate and stifle us, they will not stop our people’s path toward our final victory of achieving a unified, strong and prosperous Korea.”

On Bill Clinton: “He knows how to work a room, true, and he’s got solid executive experience. But, ideally, I’d like to see him thicken up his resume a bit first. I’ll admit he could be a solid candidate in 2017 or 2021.”
In other words, Fuck that guy :-)
