North Korea Names China the Happiest

North Korea has released its rating of countries based on happiness, awarding China perfect marks. Where does North Korea place itself and others?

North Korea magnanimously gave away the number one spot and ranked itself second with 98 points out of 100.

Rounding out the top five are Cuba, Iran, and Venezuela.

Getting a dismal 3 happiness points and holding onto last place is the United States, referred to as “the American Empire.”

This could be posted on quite a few entries as of late so I hate to single this (rather trivial) one out, but for anything unrelated to shopping and drinking in Beijing, all of the Beijinger's "news" is up to a week or more old.

Come on guys. You even link to the original article which was over 10 days ago. Anyone who is interested in this stuff would have seen it already on the myriad of other websites and blogs that picked it up. I'm not expecting on the dot reporting, but after a week why even bother? If you want to cover restaurant reviews and trendy shop tips go for it, you seem to have it down pat so far. But either step up your game on the news front or let it go.
