 "N Korea fuming as Oz paper calls it 'naughty'")
Pyongyang: North Korea has criticised an Australian newspaper that called the country “Naughty Korea” when listing London Olympics medal standings. The Melbourne commuter daily mX last week also described South Korea as “Nice Korea.” Pyongyang’s official Korean Central News Agency accused mX on Tuesday of a “bullying act” that insults the spirit of the Olympics.

North Korea says it was trying to put a satellite into orbit. North Korea has since threatened to attack Seoul over perceived insults. North Korea was in 14th place Wednesday with four gold medals and one bronze. AP
