Blog/Anti-Blog Tension Escalates As North Korea Rattles Saber at Boing Boing

Tensions between bloggers and the terminally unclueful escalated on March 7, when North Korea denounced Boing Boing, saying the popular blog was “inconsiderate” for linking to their website and thereby driving up traffic.

Boing Boing backed down from its hyperlinked aggression and met North Korea’s demands to load the content on its own site.

Thanks to RConversation for this lead.
