Return of the Unicorns!!

    Maxim reporter Jesse Brukman published a story about North Koreans saying that they knew of an old unicorn lair. He created a fake skit about a rocket scientist and a farmer talking to each other about checking up on the lair as soon as the scientist found the cure for AIDS using medieval technologies. He ended the story by telling his readers the only evidence that it is a unicorn lair is the mere fact that the rectangular rock has the words "unicorn lair" engraved in it. 

    Although it was funny, his satire piece was really dumb. It also kind of made fun of North Koreans in a disrespectful way, mocking them for how smart they may think they are.

    It didn't fulfill my appetite for Maxim's typical funny, sarcastic pieces. Also, I found the title to be somewhat misleading. As soon as I saw unicorns were seen, I got so excited. Yes, it definitely did what a good title is supposed to do - draw in the reader's attention. However, the content of the story lacked substance. It failed to be newsworthy and failed to live up to the reputation of the title. I thought it would be an educational piece from the beginning paragraphs, since he mentioned the reign of King Tongmyong, but the remaining paragraphs did not follow.

Brukman, you failed to serve these beloved mythical creatures well. Shame on you!
