Yep, I was fooled. No homo­erotic missile-on-missile action. No death from above.

The para­noid, cyn­i­cal, haven’t-slept-in-a-week side of me thinks the sto­ries were planted as part of a last-ditch effort to frighten the North Korean gov­ern­ment into call­ing off the test (for tech­ni­cal rea­sons, nat­u­rally). Of course, that side of me also thought they were crazy enough to try shoot­ing the mis­siles down (pri­mar­ily because most of the sto­ries ran along the lines of “let’s attack a nuclear power”, albeit totally non­cha­lant about the prospect), so it’s also entirely pos­si­ble I’m just low on sleep.
