DescriptionExciting news, comrades: Our Facebook friendship with North Korea is "awaiting confirmation." The North Korean government has apparently set up an official Facebook page. But they only have 65 friends. And North Korea is gay?

The AP reports that North Korea set up the Facebook page under the username "uriminzokkiri," which means "on our own as a nation." This follows North Korea launching Twitter and YouTube accounts and opening a social-networking front in its PR war with South Korea. (South Korea has responded by blocking North Korea's accounts.)
