NOBODY TOLD NORTH KOREA’S KIM JONG-UN THAT HAWAII AND ALASKA WERE PART OF THE U.S.

Seoul, South Korea (The Adobo Chronicles) – North Korea may have the sophistication to launch a cyber attack on Sony Pictures, but advisers to its leader Kim Jong-un lack the knowledge about geography.

Following the now infamous Sony Pictures hack which led to the cancellation of the Christmas Day release of the film, ‘The Interview,’ President Obama promised to respond “proportionately” to the attack, and that Washington is reviewing whether to put North Korea back on its list of state sponsors of terrorism. (The film is a comedy whose plot revolves around the assassination of the North Korean leader).

In response, North Korea has warned of strikes against the White House, Pentagon and “the whole U.S. mainland, that cesspool of terrorism.” That means Hawaii and Alaska have been spared of the threat.

The National Defense Commission, led by Kim, warned that its 1.2 million-member army is ready to use all types of warfare against the U.S.

Apparently, Kim’s close advisers didn’t know or failed to tell him that the “U.S. Mainland” does not include the 49th and 50th states of the United States.

So Americans living in Hawaii and Alaska can relax and not worry about any potential attack on their states from North Korea.

PAT ROBERTSON: GAYS WILL BE EXTINCT BECAUSE THEY CAN’T REPRODUCE

San Francisco, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Televangelist Pat Robertson’s recent comment about gays didn’t sit well with a San Francisco coalition of heterosexual parents.

In his comment on the TV Show, ‘The 700 Club,’ the 84-year-old former Southern Baptist minister said that “homosexuals will die out because they can’t reproduce.”

The Hetero Coalition (THC) issued a statement today saying that Robertson is out of touch with reality, pointing out that “it’s the heterosexuals that are giving birth to gays.”

“Is he saying that we, reproductive heterosexuals, will only produce heterosexual offspring,” a THC spokesperson who has identical twins that are both gay, asked. “And how about heterosexual couples who choose not to have children — will they also become extinct?”

THC asked Robertson to apologize on national TV for making that absurd statement.

OBAMA DUMPS HAWAIIAN SHAVE ICE IN FAVOR OF FILIPINO HALO HALO

Obama with his Hawaiian shave ice. Inset: Filipino halo halo

Honolulu, Hawaii (Exclusive to The Adobo Chronicles) – Most people know that Hawaiian shave ice is one of President Barack Obama’s favorite snacks. Without fail, he would have a cup of shave ice every time he’s out and about while vacationing in Hawaii.

Today was no exception. Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia were out driving in Kalihi and they stopped by Shimazu Store which sells Hawaiian shave ice. As usual the president ordered his favorite snack while daughter Sasha ordered something else on the menu: Filipino halo halo.

Halo halo is like the Hawaiian shave ice but is more elaborate with additional ingredients that include sweet beans, coconut, jackfruit, purple yam, rice krispies and is usually topped with ice cream.

Sasha had her dad taste a spoonful of her halo halo and the president absolutely loved it. He then dumped the Hawaiian shave ice and ordered his own halo halo.

It looks like Obama will be asking White House Executive Chef Cristeta Comerford to switch the official dessert to halo halo from now on. Comerford is Filipino American.

Michelle Obama, who has consistenly advocated for exercise and healthy eating, was not happy. A small bowl of halo halo has about 153 calories (and that’s without the ice cream) and contains 3.9 grams of saturated fat.
