2008-04-10 : Urban Mixer Weekend Update

To: Chin-hwa and the rest of the R&D crew
From: Dear Leader
'Sup fools? KJ-I here. Revolutionary greetings in the name of the glorious Korean people and all that shizzo. Yo, I need y'all to take a look at this dope Events Calendar and Blog one of our dirties in the West picked up. The imperialist swine call it the Urban Mixer Events Calendar and Blog. I call it stupid fresh. Check it: 1000s of events, listings for Calgary, Vancouver and Seattle, the maddest event coverage they even hit it with parties of their own.
Here's what I'm thinking: y'all crack it open and figure out how it works. We set up a factory to make our own I think these are made in China, so if one brutal dictatorship can manufacture them, why not another? Then we issue one to every household, along with a selection of my dopest joints in every Monday's email newsletter. Speeches, TV appearances, that video I did with Ja Rule all of it. Then they can get a week's dose of Jong-Illage while they're on the train to work, walking to their "volunteer" jobs on the weekends, or foraging for edible grasses. Here's a bonus: anybody who's caught not watching me on a knockoff of Urban Mixer's Weekly Blog, we get to shoot!
I know y'all like the idea, so get on that shiznit, yo. But don't bother with the mobile edition or RSS feeds it's not like any of our people have that technology. Juche out! NoKo reprazent!
