    No, my point was that the WC3 validator is retardedly strict. Duh.
    That must be an oxymoron because I have never met a strict retard. They always seem very chilled out to me, not to mention happy judging by that simpering smile on their faces. In fact, I can't even think of a group who are less strict than retards. Totally inappropriate metaphor.
    oxymoron: figure of speech with pointed conjunction of seemingly contradictory expressions.

    Since your point is that "retarded" and "strict" are genuinely contradictory terms, oxymoron is not the correct word to use.

    You got me, I should have said "a contradiction in terms". It was inappropriate of me to start talking about unintelligent ketones.

    I might be blind for not seeing any sequence of on the source of the linked web page

    Is this a joke?

    Did u check the source of the site to see if this WTF was really there or may be the Koreans are really great web developers that they updated their site within 5 minutes of your post

    MuTaTeD

    The same here. Almost no "strong"-Tag at all in their source code. Seems like a lame joke.

    With nothing else to do at work, I had to resort to a history of North Korea and ran across this:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axe_Murder_Incident

    when Capt. Bonifas again turned his back on him, Pak removed his watch, carefully wrapped it in a handkerchief, placed it in his pocket, and then shouted "Kill them!" as he swung a karate chop to the back of Capt. Bonifas' neck.
    ...
    While Capt. Bonifas died instantly...
    Good form! Even a double-chop by Captain Kirk is only designed to render its victim unconscious.

    But we know how to respond to that: 64 special forces with M-16s, grenade launchers, and claymore mines; A 165mm gun, 20 utility helicopters, and 6 Cobra attack choppers, B-52 bombers escorted by F-4 and F-5 fighter jets; 12,000 troops, 1,800 marines; 16 engineers, two platoons. They went to the middle of that bridge and chainsawed that m-fin tree down!

    Wonderful! Enough to make me want to watch the reruns of MAS*H again.

    That page used to be Hosted here in Japan by the many North Korean spies who live here completely over-cover with privileged status under Japanese law.

    However, that guy basically works for free, pays for the server and even gives NK money. All for a uniform and a few medals. --And all the NK girls say he's pretty fly for a white guy--

    BTW, there is/or used to be a section on NK software(It can be bought in Japan, China or SK). Unfortunately, they don't seem willing to share its source for free for us to comment on its inspiration from the philosophy of Juche.

    I take it that "Rick O'Shay" is a pseudonym? I can do you one better: I've done some work in the past for Hanson Aggregates and their CEO is called Patrick O Shea. "Patrick" naturally contracts to "Rick" so his honest-to-God name is "Rick O Shea". Best name ever.

    I thought Patrick naturally contracts to "Pat"...

    Exactly, AFAIK, Rick is a short form of Richard. I've never heard of a Patrick going by Rick rather than Pat. I guess maybe if you were concerned about the androgynous nature of Pat, you might choose Rick instead?

    If you don't want to use Pat, there's always Paddy.

    I mean, some dude wrote some retarded HTML somewhere. Maybe he had a braindead moment, maybe it was 4 am in the morning and he was trying to stay awake. Maybe he was just bored. This is in no way visible to the user, and the page is looking quite good. So WHO CARES?

    The best part is that it should no longer be considered the official website for the DPRK. In fact that honor belongs to http://www.kcckp.net. Check it out for yourselves, it's a good laugh at best and a hell of a lot nicer looking that the crap Alejandro is putting out.

    Though, in fairness, who are we to question such STRONG web design? Dear Leader is, after all, an internet expert.

    The W3C HTML validator disagrees.

    That means, the W3C HTML validator has to be adjusted. And the W3C staff too, of course. The Leader is ALWAYS right. (I'm a German, so I know what I'm talking about.)

    Btw, if you speak Latin and Greek, "Democratic People's Republic" translates in your head to "People-governed People's People's Affair", to make the point really .

    very nice design

    Addendum 2022-12-21 14:00: Using templates is common among us; in my opinion, it makes the work easier. I get my images from https://masterbundles.com/stock-content/vector/disney-svg/ . Where there are numerous ideas for effective logo design and brand development in general. Three different sets of SVG files are available, allowing you to select the best one.
