People STILL aren't using Adblock?

bbc has what appears to be 1/2 of the video ad here

I thought whiskey relives stress and improves health and longevity. Damn. I guess I'll have to pour my fifth of Bushmills down the toilet and get a case of Milwaukee's Best.

Kim Jong Pilsner?

No, Kim Jong Ale

What the world needs is millions of North Korean Amy Winehouses.

Now if they could only afford it.

How do you market beer to starving people who have no money?

OK that's it, I'm calling it a day and getting this weekend started right.

North Korea is number one exporter of potassium; other East Asian countries have inferior potassium.

SomeoneDumb: What the world needs is millions of North Korean Amy Winehouses.

They don't have enough money to abuse their bodies like that.

No, really.

Cause of and solution to all mans' problems. Is there anything it can't do?

bingo the psych-o: SomeoneDumb: What the world needs is millions of North Korean Amy Winehouses.

They don't have enough money to abuse their bodies like that.

No, really.

Oh, yeah. I'd forgotten that step. My bad.

I think it tells us a lot about North Korea that they have to kind of explain what beer is.

FTFA: "with an average per capita income of $1,065 in 2008, according to the South's central bank"

Woah, that's less than I spend on beer each year.

I suppose they failed to mention that it also makes you fark ugly chicks.

Tastes Gleat.

What an innovative way to keep them distracted from the hunger pangs..

//thank god it wasn't marijuana..

NakedApe: How do you market beer to starving people who have no money?

Tell them it has rice, protein and vitamin B2 in it!! That's how!

Taedong River Beer

I think I'll pass.

"Taedong River is the main pollution source in the Nampho coastal area"
-----------------------------------
"However, lack of investment in treatment of
wastewater and sewage, together with insufficient
management and repair of treatment facilities, results
in contamination of water resources, particularly
Taedong River."
-----------------------------------
"Pollution of rivers and streams has become severe in recent years, particularly in the Taedong River, which flows through central Pyongyang."
-----------------------------------


Probably not a lot worse than the Cuyahoga River of the 70's, but that was 30+ years ago, and we didn't make major label beer out of it.

Two words: Beer Pyongyang.

The music made me feel so good


!

tb tibbles: Two words: Beer Pyongyang.

Touche, good sir... Touche..

tb tibbles: Two words: Beer Pyongyang.

If you have a friend named Yang, that could be four words.

Unfortunately it was during the daily blackout, and so nobody got to see the ad.

buckeyebrain: Tastes Gleat.

Ress Fiwing !

NakedApe: How do you market beer to starving people who have no money?

Their government has lied/censored about having food, borders stretching to down to India, and having flying cars for so long even their gov has become delusional.

NakedApe: How do you market beer to starving people who have no money?

You don't.

Newsflash: Not EVERYONE in North Korea is starving with no money. There are restaurants in Pyongyang, even.

It's all part of the reason the people don't rise up.

Looked at the advert on this link (new window)

There's an ISO 9001 label in the text.. why would North Korea get a business ISO certified?

CitizenTed: I thought whiskey relives stress and improves health and longevity. Damn. I guess I'll have to pour my fifth of Bushmills down the toilet and get a case of Milwaukee's Best.

Nah don't bother. It'd take you $200 worth of that piss for the same fuzzy feeling from the Bushmills. And pee every 30 minutes.

Boberto: NakedApe: How do you market beer to starving people who have no money?

Tell them it has rice, protein and vitamin B2 in it!! That's how!

And compliant.

I was under the impression that in order to make beer, one needs a steady supply of grains of some sort.

Or is it made not only with polluted river water, but some of those tasty corn kernels that peasants prize out of cow dung on the roadside?

CrankMyBlueSax: I suppose they failed to mention that it also makes you fark ugly chicks.

GOLD

Obligatory?

pat-246: No, Kim Jong Ale

I've had this beer. You can buy it in some bars in South Korea. Surprisingly it is a great tasting beer. It's usually my first choice as South Korean beer is awful.

BEER: Making North Korean Girls Look Hot Since 1893.



For more images, google "North Korean Traffic Girl."

It's a good thing that nobody in the DPRK has t.v.'s, radios, computers, internet, electricity or cell phones.

they draw their beer and half of it is head. they need large breasted women showin them puppies off,and fast cars to wreck when they leave the bar.

I couldn't understand it, but I did see some TV when I visited the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Propaganda mostly, from what I could tell. Still, it was better than LOST.

Party at Kim's house!

"Kim's wine cellar was stocked with 10,000 bottles, the chef said, and banquets often started at midnight and lasted into the morning."

Their beer is made from the peeofsomeyoungguy.
