The people of the PRK have got to be a sociologist dream for a study. An entire nation duped and lied to for so many years that entire generations don't have a farking clue about the outside world - when they finally have the blindfolds lifted off their eyes, how will they react. They probably won't believe a single bit of reality outside of their cold and dark world.

Hello of day to you. I am Korean Central News Agency editor Mike Lowe Il posting confirmation reply. This is very true event and it brought great sadness to our people. In morning dawn of evening afternoon, skies once filled with sky turn into a red color. Unknown to Democratic People's Republic of Korea that this event is end times of Dear Leader. Korean Central News Agency will post photos of event on news broadcast site when photos develop in dark room. However, photos of wonderful moment may never develop. Camera was sabotage by infidel Americans who conspire to destroy the benevolent people of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. And with this I give warning to Japan and South Korea and United States who all conspire to overthrow the wonderful Dear Leader. Even in death, Dear Leader will protect us. Dear Leader will fire missiles. Dear Leader will victory. Thank you, Dear Leader. Your pickled kimchi was delicious. Yum, yum, to the pickled kimchi! The pickled kimchi will protect us!

syberpud: dittybopper: Wrath of Heaven: Official biographies say he was born on Paektu and that a double rainbow filled the skies when he was born.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN!?

It means he was actually born in the Soviet Union, during WWII.

I remember hearing/reading that Kim's dad fought in Stalingrad with other Korean communists, thus Kim's birth in the USSR. Might have been propaganda to prop up his image as a great warrior.

Soviet records clearly show that Kim Jong-Il was born at a military training camp in Siberia during WWII, but that was insufficiently other-worldly and mystic for KJI's tastes, thus he ret-conned his birth to fufil some ancient Korean prophecy.

What I find interesting is that neither actual history or the NK propaganda version make any real mention of who Kim Jong-IL's MOTHER was. Nor are we even sure who the current ruler's momma is. It seems a strangely curious omission

Jake Havechek: I think they are the dumbest people around. Hell, even the Germans knew something was off about those Nazis after a while, but the N.Koreans are stupid, servile, idiots.

Don't believe everything Noth Korean media tells you about North Koreans. Those gulags and labor camps are full for a reason, and it wasn't because people volunteered to go. A story on the NK economy I heard the other day said that the Black market is now larger than the official economy, with people regularly smuggling, food, clothing and DVDs from china into Korea.

If DVDs are making it in, and there is a market for them, then that means there are clandestine DVD players (and TV's and the juice to run them) inthe hands of the people. The more exposure the NK people have to foreign movies the greater more aware they'll be of the disconnect between reality and the government's official line. Throw in a little starvation and deprivation and that become a volatile mix

That's the best laugh I've had in days.
