He is fucking nuts. But this story appears to be fake. It's become a popular trend lately to make fake, Onion like articles that get passed around, like the fake story of N. Koreans claiming they landed a man on the sun lol. It's funny stuff but some people take it is factual.
More serious stories, and real articles, should be the focus like human rights violations, etc. It's a really shitty country to live in!
