Colbert Unicorn

A lot is covered in this discussion and I can't say that I love any of it. Colbert sits on his pedestal and makes fun of one nation by showing the true colors of our own. His false image of a "gendernormification" of a unicorn raises questions about the morphing of a unicorn. He claims multiple times that only little girls are allowed to like unicorns. I think that the joke is on him because he looks like an idiot for think that is what unicorns look like. He looks no more ridiculous than the Korean government by claiming this is the most accurate depiction of a unicorn available. 

At this point it seems as though he corrects himself a bit because the drawing of the unicorn is a bit more accurate. 

This final rendering is quite incredible and he slanders it. In the beginning I can understand his grounds for seeing the comedy of false claims by government officials how ever blaspheming about traditional renderings is mocking an entire culture. This is no different than his idiocy of unicorn depiction. Unfortunately unicorn enthusiasts I can no longer support Stephen Colbert.

Colbert Report reports on Unicorn Lair.

Korean Unicorn Lair

Below please find a more tasteful response to the reports of the Korean Unicorn Lair. I'm not sure why the world is being so rude and sour. Live through the excitement.

"Legitimizing myths

According to an English language article from North Korea's state news agency, archeologists have "reconfirmed" that a lair in Pyongyang is that of a unicorn ridden by Tongmyong, who founded the real-life Koguryo Kingdom. This ancient Korean kingdom spanned the north and central Korean peninsula as well as northeast China and parts of southern Russia. It was founded sometime between the second century B.C. and the turn of the millennium.

The unicorn lair announcement comes nearly a year after the death of Kim Jong Il, who ruled North Korea from 1994 until his death on Dec. 17, 2011. Kim Jong Il was succeeded by his son, Kim Jong Eun, who is in his late 20s and lacks leadership experience, Lee said.

Tying Kim Jong Eun's reign into that of the first king of the Koguryo Kingdom lends him the legitimacy he lacks, Lee said. The North Korean government has followed a similar strategy before, claiming, for example, that a burial site near Pyongyang is that of Dangun, the founder of the first Korean kingdom and the son of a god and a bear-turned-woman, according to the Korean creation myth.
