And then thought, DaveBarry-like, "I was once in a band called The Leaflet Thugs." So the leaflets irk the North. Seems to me the Seoul government, instead of being abashed and contrite, should instead explain to Pyongyang that South Koreans live in a free country, which means all citizens have a robust collection of human rights, among which is the right to attach messages to balloons and launch them northward. Anyway, if the "current thing that bothers the Pyongyangers" did not exist they would have to invent it. Funny, I read "leftist thugs" as "leaflet thugs."
