    • Skunkhair, on 10/12/2007, -26/+319i'm guessing an early april fools joke. then again Kim Jong-Il is a huge movie fanatic.
    • bobothn, on 10/12/2007, -123/+5It took me a couple minutes to realize this is an april fools joke still this needs on front page. freak allot of people out. every one that reads this bury every one that gives the secret away.
    • corevette, on 10/12/2007, -102/+12They aren't moving to North Korea,
      they're moving to the North Korean Embassy in Stockholm, Sweden.

      "Today we announce that we're moving some of our servers to the North-Korean Embassy in Stockholm, Sweden."

      And after reading skunkhair's comment....it does seem logical to be an April Fool's Day prank.
      And it's not an early joke, knowing it was posted at 2:33 AM on April 1st

      But then again, knowing TPB, wouldn't be surprised if it was true.
    • Hippo, on 10/12/2007, -20/+156...April Fools!
    • kuzotz, on 10/12/2007, -23/+11when you're inside an embassy you are on that country's soil..

    • Nerfdude, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15now maybe they can focus on fixing their search functionality.
    • athlonmj, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16Ironically, Sweden is THE ONLY country to have an embassy in North Korea

    • tsunamisteve, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Permanence is a man-made thing.
    • 1view, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0TPB is always doing this stuff for attention, I love their site but they are old...

      Some new good sites like http://btjunkie.org have been coming out that have taken me away...
    • zeero, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2read some of the comments the users wrote

      "I wouldn't count on using the redundant power with diesel part for four years...hes probly gonna get blown away by his neighbors in a matter of months...but hey go for it...watch your back though...."

      "So thepiratebay.com goes communist... I can't take this sorry, deleting my acc asap..."
  • VtmnR, on 10/12/2007, -14/+51I'm guessing it's April Fools...

    But hey, digg anyway for beating me to it.
    • AmzngSpidey, on 10/12/2007, -14/+20@Khilafa

      Comment spamming your mujahaddin videos won't help you get into paradise. You are a jihadi failure, pig follower of a pedophile prophet (piss be upon him).
    • BBeerB, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4@Khilafa

      that (staged) action picture montage of that one guy is pretty gay. and by gay I mean flaming homosexual, thanks for spreading the gay with you mujahideen undertones.

      April Fools!!
    • BriSoFli, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3@BBeerB - Boy, you really showed him what being a stupid ignorant ***** is all about! Way to go...
    • fuzzmeister, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3@amzngspidey

      Go Ad Hominem on the spammers if you want, not Ad Religium.
    • ptrcd003, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3look at the ***** this khilafa guy submits

  • jihadjohnson, on 10/12/2007, -37/+4i like the Pirate Bay but I do NOT like North Korea and i am very nervous when they say "we would like all of our users to review their current feelings towards this great nation" I hope this is an April Fools Joke
    • Pottersquash, on 10/12/2007, -4/+14I absolutely love the irony of someone with "jihad" in there name not only would not get a joke, but would be nervous that someone may be prompting what is perceived to be a hostile nation
  • ShawnC, on 10/12/2007, -11/+53People:
    It's April 1st over in the EU by now, don't freak out.
    • bonch, on 10/12/2007, -16/+0Whatever happens, I sure hope I get to continue ***** artists and ***** their rights! I deserve to have everything for free without paying anybody for their work! The RIAA makes me do it!
  • Protoss, on 10/12/2007, -12/+3Heh, I'm loving the comments on the blog entry.
    "I need to set my system time, can someone tell me what day it is in Stockholm?"
  • dtvibe, on 10/12/2007, -5/+39guess kim loves the piratebay so much, thats probably where he got his bootleg copy of team america

    • SenatorPenguin, on 10/12/2007, -10/+4I hate brussel sprouts, I once got mugged in Brussels, so now my eyelashes itch. Go ambassadors!
  • dweeb79, on 10/12/2007, -13/+2This is good for p2p users. It does not prevent against litigation and being tracked by the RIAA or MPAA

    Please still be careful!!!!!
  • Gigaman2003, on 10/12/2007, -15/+2april's fools everyone! great job by tpb!
    • dweeb79, on 10/12/2007, -12/+2Yeah i just realized that as I was scrolling up in the in comments......

      I feel like such a NUB
  • foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -12/+1Wait... like everybody here says the poster beat him to it..
    Do you all go to TPB THAT OFTEN?? (Its on their front page)
  • Anvilman, on 10/12/2007, -11/+1Was I the only one laughing my ass off as RealHyperx's comment? Jeez, way to put things in perspective!

    and, yes, april fools!
  • Hiki, on 10/12/2007, -14/+2Hm...april fools this year is pretty shallow
  • Fuqaha, on 10/12/2007, -10/+0What a nice way to april fool...
  • Dolomite, on 10/12/2007, -12/+4April Fools you fools.
  • victorguttmann, on 10/12/2007, -10/+2Now THAT is a great April Fool's joke.
  • iRoy, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1this one had me for about 3 seconds until i read the whole post...

    "long live kim jong-il" lol
  • TheGreatNico, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1Fsking brilliant, though it_s still March here.
    • TheGreatNico, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2PS, Here's to the start of the April Fools day stories
    • theworldisround, on 10/12/2007, -10/+3I think you mean fsck(8)-ing brilliant.
  • iRoy, on 10/12/2007, -14/+2its also pretty funny reading everyones reactions...

    a few dudes really got their panties in a bunch over this, one dude got ready to delete his account, lol
    • musicphreke, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3he was being sarcastic. plus, you can't delete PB accounts.
  • tomarocco, on 10/12/2007, -12/+1Lamepril Fewls
  • Takuro, on 10/12/2007, -11/+3And to think that I was going to boycott TPB for cooperating with communists.

    I'm slow. It's 12 minutes into April Fools Day here and I'm not what you'd call "chipper." :/
  • mournsanity, on 10/12/2007, -10/+3I love this holiday!
  • msjacoby, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2***** brilliant
  • Ludnix, on 10/12/2007, -12/+1Buried as inaccurate.
  • doubleblack, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1Funny...I thought Kim was an AOL fan...
  • Ruhtar, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1I've seen worse April Fools "jokes" but this one is about as bad as they get.

    It might have helped though if North Korea actually had an embassy in Sweden, which they don't.

    Besides that, it also might have helped if TPB had front page announcements at any time other than April Fools day or the one time their servers were taken over.
  • Warptera, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2APRIL FOOLS!

    Then again, Kim Jung Il is that crazy fun-loving kind of guy. :)
  • ChillyEli, on 10/12/2007, -10/+2First April Fools gag to make the front page this year?
  • CompIsMyRx, on 10/12/2007, -8/+29Uh, April Fool's because North Korea doesn't have an embassy in Sweden. In fact, it barely has any at all.

  • elmro, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2Time to send in Jack Bauer!

    The North Korean Embassy in Sweden of course. Where else?
  • RedViper1999, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2I was about to say, those mother****ers. Stupid April Fools.

  • MikeMacMan, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1April Fools!
  • counterstriker, on 10/12/2007, -13/+2whoa! whoa! whoa! whoa! whoa! Now what if this isn't a prank? One of the few North Korean embassy's out there is in Sweden, or so it says here: http://www.embassyworld.com/embassy/North_Korea/North_Korea1.html but who knows, it could be a prank I guess we will find out tomorrow :)
  • aserer511, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6man! Now King Jong WILL have control over the internets!
  • gronkers, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0Joke day aside, I have wondered whats to prevent somone from hosting a secure server from embassy grounds.
  • counterstriker, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2zomg dugg 666 times, the christians are going to freak out
  • janeregained1, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1The digg comment system is soooo broken, just crazy broken.
  • ShBm, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12Judging by this thread, I have a feeling today is going to be filled with a massive amount of burying.
  • inkhead, on 10/12/2007, -10/+3LOL, Damn! Be careful! Some ***** in the whitehouse probably just read the president on! Probably didn't bother to read it was a joke. Scary ***** is, the USA has over 250+ nukes buried in North Korea, during the late '90s the United States moved teams into other countries and secretly planted well over 800+ nukes inside various countries it considered to be a threat. The United States decided the only thing better than a first strike was, a strike that appeared to be from the country itself, as if they imploded in on yourself. You'll probably think I'm crazy but it's true.

    I can just see some ***** waking GW in the middle of the night "where is the nuke football?"
  • RedSaber, on 10/12/2007, -7/+0....
