It's a ballsy move
WASHINGTON — The Central Intelligence Agency released information on a new North Korean aerial penis art program, in which MiG-23 Floggers fly in patterns that appear on radar screens as giant penises pointed at South Korea. The provocative practice is raising regional tensions.
“It’s a total dick move,” said CIA spokesperson Thomas Tallywacker. “Kim Jong Un poked the bear earlier this year by drone flights over South Korea. Now he’s waving sky schlongs at the South. It’s a pretty limp joke, but there hasn’t been this much meat pointed at Korea since the Marines landed at Inchon.”
Aviation experts say that the aerial penis art requires intense pilot concentration and tight control grip on the stick with gentle changes in thrust.
“Most pilots have the basic skills for sky dicks, but the expert level is tough to grab,” said Tallywacker, “Now North Korean pilots are so good at dork drawing, it indicates that they practice joy stick control day and night.”
