Maybe this is just me being way too uptight about things, but I can’t enjoy any of these clever videos about North Korea. They would be funny, it’s not a lack of creativity on the maker’s behalf.

It’s more that those people behave in such a mock-able way because they are absolutely helpless to a mad man’s rule. Even in death he controls them with life-long programmed fear. They have limited access to any real knowledge and live in dreadful, bleak conditions.

Anyway, that’s my two cents. These poor people.

If you look at the crowd at 2:50 there are two CIA agents disguised as awkward white dudes in aviator sunglasses in the crowd.

The bouncing goose stepping provides the honourable party leaders with beneficial and rewarding optical stimulation when the female soldiers parade past their grandstand.

The accompanying ‘music’ score is UnNorth Korean.

Amazing choreography. North Korea would definitely win Olympic Gold for synchronized swimming

The video is blocked because of the soundtrack, which is definitely not North Korean.

My friend and I were discussing NK last night.
“What makes people live in a place like that?”
“Guns.”
“No, why do they believe all that ridiculous stuff.”
“I’m pretty sure the answer is still guns.”
“Not state media?”
“Well, why is there only STATE media?”
“G.. oh, I see what you did there..”

At 2:38 and 2:44, for those who don’t know, that’s NOT a video screen in the back ground. Those displays are all generated by PEOPLE holding up placards.

Here’s another video of a different show at the same arena:

There’s a Lovecraftian scale of horror and awe at those displays, knowing that they are comprised of thousands cards being held and changed in synch by people.
