North Korea Explodes Nuclear Bomb? picturesAdvanced Photoshop Pictures Contest - 11 image entries
Contest Directions:  [ If you haven't heard the explosion yesterday, nor saw the TV or read newspapers, let me say it real quick - North Korea exploded its first nuclear bomb under ground yesterday. At least they claim they did, because scientists are skeptical it was a nuclear explosion. Seismographs all over the world detected a blast at around 1 kiloton or less - equivalent to the explosive force of 1,000 tons of TNT. For a nuclear device, that would be so weak that the French defense minister suggested that "there could have been a failure" with the North Korean reported test. ]
OK, let's see what we have here. Seismographs all over the world detect a blast too weak for atomic explosion. North Korea says "It was a nuclear explosion, dammit!". It was underground too, so there're no radioactive clouds that can be detected either.
With the same luck, North Korean Kim Jong-il could have farted in the UN building and claim it was a nuke exlposion. And then other world leaders could confirm that they heard a blast, and that it definitely smells fishy.
In this contest you are asked to show that North Korean Nuclear test was a staged hoax. Show the creative ways how they could have done it; magazine covers exposing the hoax; tourism advertisements promoting North Korean amusements, new products and toys connected to fake nukes, etc.

| This contest is fueled by the following news: |
| | The North Korean government has announced that it has conducted an underground nuclear bomb test on Monday. In doing so, North Korea defied warnings from the United Nations. North Korea now runs the risks of further sanctions. After the alleged test, South Korea put its military on alert. The Japanese Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, is in Seoul, South Korea for talks. The alleged nuclear test is expected to heighten tensions in the region. It is also expected to deal yet another blow to the foreign policy of U.S. President George W. Bush just before the upcoming elections. The White House has called the actions of North Korea in purportedly testing a nuclear weapon was a provocative act. He expects the U.N. Security Council to take immediate actions in response. Even China, a long time and staunch ally of North Korea, called the nuclear test a brazen act. Russia's President condemned the nuclear test as well. After North Korea's announcement of the nuclear test, the U.S. dollar went upward to an eight month high against the Japanese yen. The U.S. Geological Survey said that it did detect a 4.2 magnitude tremor in North Korea at the time the alleged nuclear test was said to have occurred. The Japanese Meteorological Agency confirmed that there was a tremor at the time North Korea was said to have tested a nuclear device. The official news agency in North Korea said there were no danger and no leak as a result of its nuclear device test. |
