Dear Mr. Pterosaurish

I might have overstepped some boundaries... again. Why can I never get it right?
I received another letter from North... er... the Democratic People's Republic of Korea about my blog. I post it below to show I am open to criticism.
(I have added some links to show their sincerity and truthfulness. YOU OVER THERE IN PYONGYANG NOTICE THIS, RIGHT?!)

Dear Mr. Pterosaurish:
We here at the Democratic People's Republic of Korea News Agency follow your blog very carefully.
It is so funny.
We have a strong sense of independent, non-capitalist humor here, so let us say a hearty "Ha Ha!"
Despite the wit and humor, however, like last time, we would like to correct some of the points you made and clear up some of your distortions; if you don't mind.
First, you seem to believe that the Great Successor and Revered Leader Kim Jong un, a military genius and a car driver from age three, is over weight.
This is not at all the case.
In your humorous and very funny and entertaining blog (Let us say, "Ha ha!" again), you suggested that the Great Successor had trouble getting through the hatch of a tank. That is silly. He could get into the hatch with no problem.
And he was also able to get out without any serious physical issues.
Please correct this misstatement in your blog. We would like to mention that he has been working out with what you imperialist paper tigers call a "thigh master" these past months and is in the peak of condition.
Please correct your impression of our new leader.
You also suggested that his uncle, Jang Song taek, might cut off the Great Successor's cream puff supply. That is totally misquoted and a capitalist running dog lie. Your sources are obviously misinformed. His uncle said he wanted to cut off his ice cream supply. Please notify your readers of this error too.
The transcript of the meeting is so full of errors, we wonder who your translators are. Mr. Pterosaurish, you need to study Korean better or hire more competent translators. You properly pointed out the animals who expressed their deep mourning for the loss of Dear Leader, Kim Jong il, but failed to mention the bears! The bears were also discussed at that same meeting, just before Jang's comment about the magpies. They were mourning so pitiably in the road, having woken up from hibernation, moved by the loss of Dear Leader. We would appreciate you mentioning that the bears mourned the passing of Dear Leader.
In conclusion, we here at the News Agency would like to see you pay more attention to accuracy in your blog. Although we appreciate this kind of sophisticated, international satire and humor (let us say "ha ha" once more), we know you live just across the Japan Sea from us. We are almost neighbors. Not that we are admitting to abducting people from near where you live or anything, but you might want to be more accurate in your representation of the Great Successor in the future.
We are also disturbed by the fact that you seem to have spies in our great country, so rest assured that we will find them and – shall we say – cut off their cream puff supply.
With all the best for the New Year,
Democratic People's Republic of Korea News Agency

I stand corrected. And Happy New Year to all of you at the Democratic People's Republic of Korea News Agency. We wish Kim Jong un all the best and are eagerly looking forward to how the thigh master works out for him. And we have attack cats here, so think twice about coming to visit.
