North Korea Accidentally Revealed Their Internet To The World

Talk about North Korean internet in conversation and people are likely to chuckle, thinking you're making some sort of ironic joke statement about the country's lack of freedom.

But North Korea actually has access to an internet of sorts, which the rest of the world was given a glimpse when "one of North Korea’s top level nameservers was accidentally configured to allow global DNS zone transfers."

The accidental unveiling was shared on a GitHub data dump, which was naturally linked to by Reddit, and the world was given a glimpse of the 28 websites which make up the North Korean Net.

There's a social media site called "Friend", a tour-booking site, the Kim Il Sung University webpage, a maritime administration page, a sports page, a spiritual guidance page and this "news" site:

As expected the sites are pretty lackluster and antiquated looking compared to the rest of the World Wide Web, and also as expected there wasn't one porn site or one site that didn't mention their Glorious Leader.

Angler Light - They Hate To Dine In The Dark


Angler light by Lizz Ford

Fish live in horror of being eaten by an angler fish, and yet they can't resist going towards the enticing light of its lantern whenever they see its glow coming their way. In this way the angler fish's lantern acts as a hypnotic device, holding the curious fish in place until the ever hungry angler can move in close enough to gobble up its prey. You'd think fish schools would start teaching the young ones about the danger that lantern represents, but every time they start instituting predator-based lessons an angler fish comes along and eats the teacher!

You'll make a lasting impression on people when they see you wearing this Angler Light t-shirt by Lizz Ford, it's one fish story you can prove by pointing at your chest!

Parodies That Succeeded Because Nobody Got The Joke

Parodies are a pop culture staple, because they're a fun way for artists and creators to tip their hat to (or make fun of) other artists and creators in a way that ensures viewers are in on the joke too.

But sometimes people completely miss the reference, or just don't see it as scathing like the parodist intended, and every once in a while the parody is just so well done it takes on a life of its own.

Chuck Jones tried his hand at parody when he created Wil E. Coyote and the Roadrunner, predator and prey locked in an over-the-top battle that was supposed to make fun of Tom & Jerry.

Unfortunately for Chuck his characters were just too darn likeable, and while he was going for a "see how stupid chase cartoons are?" vibe audiences saw it as a new take on the trope and ate it up.

Ironically, Chuck would later go on to create some of the most popular Tom & Jerry cartoons of all time, and people are still unaware that Wil E. and the Roadrunner are meant to be a parody.

The 8 Creepiest Places In Fallout 4

The Fallout universe is one of the most realistic post-apocalyptic worlds in all of pop culture, thanks largely to the amazing and visually appealing environments.

Part of what makes the environments in Fallout so appealing is the attention to detail and the stories told by each location, stories that give us chills while we uncover the mystery.

Fallout 4 continues the tradition of including almost too much detail to each location in the game, making it easier than ever before to miss key story elements while exploring.

So Curse Entertainment uncovered all the creepy details of places like Pickman's Gallery, The Museum Of Witchcraft and Sandy Coves Convalescent Home for us, virtual locations that will truly haunt your dreams. (NSFW due to language and gore)

Frida Guy - Art History Is A Lie


Frida Guy by Katie Clark Art

Not all of the Mushroom Kingdom's citizens appreciate fine art, but the little Shy Guys are huge admirers of art, and their paintings and sculptures fill the halls of Bowser's castle. Unfortunately, many of their greatest works have been lost over the years thanks to those art hatin' plumber bros Mario and Luigi, aka the guys who keep storming Bowser's castle and smashing all the art. It seems Mario has no appreciation for the Shy Guys or their art, all he ever wants to do is smash stuff on the way to battling his romantic rival Bowser once again. Perhaps the Shy Guys should start painting on and making sculptures out of those blocks even Super Mario can't smash?

Change the face of art history by wearing this Frida Guy t-shirt by Katie Clark Art, it's the cute yet creepy way to show love for your favorite artist and video game series at the same time!

These Disturbingly Realistic Masks Seem Appropriate For The 2016 Election

(Image Link)

No matter who you're voting for or what your political beliefs may be you have to agree on one thing- Hillary, Donald and (formerly) Bernie aren't the most attractive candidates who've ever run for president.

They aim to prove looks aren't everything, but when you see their heads sitting on hairier, scarier and/or sexier bodies the look IS everything- everything nightmares are made of.

Artist Landon Meier of Hyperflesh made a one-off mask of Trump, Sanders and Clinton in order to prepare American citizens for the true horror of the 2016 election.

An Animated Crime Movie Starring Snow White And The Seven Dwarves

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is one of Disney's most famous features, and even though the fairy tale has been adapted a million times our mind always goes back to the Disney version whenever Snow White is mentioned.

That lasting Disney influence isn't necessarily a bad thing, especially in animation, and when a Snow White adaptation manages to show us something new while giving a nod to Disney you know it's something special. (NSFW due to language)

The Seven Red Hoods was created by Léo Verrier, with production by Eddy and ARTE France and a bunch of wonderful models created by Martine Lafont, which really add to the unique look of the film.

Nature Is All About Balance

There are some beautiful sights to behold if you can manage to detach your eyeballs from the various screens in your house and take them outside, because nature videos ain't got nothin' on nature live.

But living things who are forced to live outside want what all of us indoor dwellers have- smartphones, computers, and some lucrative tech stocks. According to this Pie Comic that's what people call "the balance of nature".

Underrated X-Men Who Are Secretly Awesome

(Image Link)

There have been so many mutants on the X-Men roster it's hard to keep track of them all, and minor league mutants like Jubilee and Shatterstar are often overshadowed by A-listers like Wolverine and Jean Grey.

But certain eras of the comic saw dozens of new members joining the X-Men, and even though these newbies were overshadowed they had to be secretly awesome to join the X-Men, right?

Shatterstar is a Liefeld creation, but don't hold that against him, because this badass from Mojoworld is not only one of the strongest fighters to ever join the X-Men- he's a trailblazer for gay characters in comics.

And speaking of blaze- Jubilee's plasmoid "fireworks" are often described as being nothing but flashes of light, but like most mutant powers she just had to learn how to control it to unleash its full potential.

Nyarlathotep - Can I Play With Crawling Chaos?


Nyarlathotep by Azhmodai

You know what they say- the harder a god's name is to pronounce the more messed up and wicked the god, which is why Nyarlathotep has such a fearsome reputation. But truth be told Nyarla isn't such a bad guy, he's just obsessed with heavy metal and monster movies, so he typically adopts a fearsome visage when paying a visit to the mortal realm. But believe me- compared to Great Old Ones like Cthulhu, or that oozing mass of carnivorous goo Shub-Niggurath, the Crawling Chaos isn't such a bad being after all!

Wear your love of the creatures Lovecraft created on your chest with this Nyarlathotep t-shirt by Azhmodai, it's one tasty design that's sure to drive your fellow H.P. fans crazy with delight!

Meet The World's Tallest Teenager

Some kids don't get their growth spurts until high school, and a rare few don't have a growth spurt until college, but Broc Brown, the world's tallest teenager, was practically born taller than his peers.

In kindergarten he was 5'2", he hit the six foot mark before he officially got his "growth spurt", and at age 19 he is currently 7'8" tall...and still growing.

Broc has a genetic disorder called Sotos Syndrome, also known as cerebral gigantism, which causes "excessive physical growth" and may cause health issues such as hormonal imbalance, scoliosis and heart and kidney problems.

But despite the chronic pain Broc feels he manages to keep a smile on his face and live like a normal teen, and doctors say Broc will probably live a long and healthy life despite his disorder.

Here's hoping all your dreams come true, Broc!

Heavenly Photos Taken From An Airplane Cockpit

Flying a plane seems like a nerve-wracking experience, especially when people are relying on you to fly them safely to their destination, but one of the rewards is that heavenly view pilots get to see from the cockpit.

In fact, pilots get to see such breathtaking sights it's a shame they can't snap pics the whole time they're flying the plane!

But some pilots, such as photographer and Senior First Officer Christiaan Van Heijstfind, find the time to shoot and fly, capturing the breathtaking sights only pilots get to see.

Christiaan is a self-professed lover of natural light, which is the only light available while shooting through a cockpit window, but the long exposure times often make the pilots look like ghosts.

Photo Series Reveals How Our Facial Expressions Change When We Get Undressed

Societal standards state we must wear clothing when we're out in public, and this standard of decency has made some feel self conscious about their naked bodies, or at least when they're naked around other people.

This nudity-related self-consciousness causes people to make certain facial expressions whenever they're naked around an unfamiliar person, expressions that sometimes include a nervous grin.

Photographer Dylan Hamm reveals people's facial expressions before and after undressing in his series "Naked Faces", a side-by-side portrait series that challenges viewers to guess which one's the nudie pic.
