That is King Jong IL, but the lower case L looks like the uppercase 'I'. Try it for yourself.

I remember my first webernet experience was on a 300/75 baud modem via a Commodore 64.

Perhaps they used the C64's and ultra powerful 1200 baud modems (LOL) with custom terminal software to take control of a monster bot net of computers owned by the Western Dogs to attack themselves.

Seriously? North Korea is a very dominating communist regime. Internet access is locked way the hell down, there are no teenagers there with access to the internet and sit around all day. The vast population in N Korea are conscripts in the army because it's one of the only ways they can get food, clothing and shelter. As for if it originated in N Korea, that's pretty easily found out from looking at the packets and tracing it back through the routers on the internet backbone.

"We will sternly smash the U.S. imperialist forces and South Korea's puppet regime anti-unification plot," Kim Yong Nam, the North's No. 2 leader, told the ceremony, according to footage broadcast on state television.

"We will achieve the historical mission of national unification by realizing" Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il's policies for that, he added."
