Or the son is a sock puppet for the power behind the throne.

Which is scarier? A legitimately insane dictator, or a shadow figure using an insane fake dictator as a front?

About the skit: It's called 'Let's See', I think.

And I have no idea what the point of it is.


About the propaganda song

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

고드름 처마에 흰까치 울고 울어
새해의 이 아침에 노래불러준다네
설눈아 내려라 어서야 내려라
산에도 들에도 하얗게
태양의 축복받은 삼천리강산에
어서야 퐁퐁 내려라

설눈아 내려라 어서야 내려라
산에도 들에도 하얗게
태양의 축복받은 삼천리강산에
어서야 퐁퐁 내려라
설눈아 내려라

Icicles on the roof, white magpies cry and cry
And sing the song of the new year on this day
Snow fall, let the snow fall,
White, on the plains and the hills
On the Peninsula, blessed by the sun
Fall, fall a lot

Snow fall, let the snow fall,
White, on the plains and the hills
On the Peninsula, blessed by the sun
Fall, fall.

Sorry, no acid.

Oh shit.

MSH...that article was from March.

FearfulJesuit...that post was from March.

First post  actually. I do that sometimes, I write a post as if to respond, and then I realize it's from maybe 2012 or something.

Ok, seriously, what the hell is it with the North Koreans and snow? First that propaganda piece about America that said it was covered in snow and people would drink the snow, and now this.

Changing the thread title counts as editing the first post.

[IronyOwl]

As I recall, Sky said earlier in the thread that she can understand the North Koreans, just that they have ridiculously grandiose and archaic vocabulary.

You're telling me an antagonistic, isolationist regime also speaks like hammy comic book villains from the past?

That is so awesome.

Based on the translations of North Korean media into English, I can totally believe "ridiculously grandiose and archaic"

I'd assumed the fact that they were, well, translations was to blame for that.

I shall now begin reading them as perfectly accurate and appropriately dramatic. I expect this to increase my enjoyment of them considerably.

This song is about New Year and winter. What did you expect?

By the way, that "translation" of the propaganda video about American poor people is fake.
The actual translation (in the video description)

Also, thank you, Skyrunner!

I live in the UP of Michigan at present and can confirm that reports of the US being covered in snow are correct.

Not yet, however, even for us.

I believe snow can sometimes symbolise purity/death (Korean funeral clothes are white, as in Japan) Kin Jong Il was buried on a snowy day as well.

Now see, I thought it was because they are a country on the verge of starvation and snow=crop failure.

Actually, North Korea is Santa Claus's newest residence:

- North Korea - North Pole
- Magnetic poles are catching up, but quickly moving towards NK
- Dictatorial regime with hordes of impoverished worker slaves; producing toys.
- All overseen by a jolly fat guy.
