Smashing stereotypes in Best Korea.

If we sit back and watch they will just kill off one another and we will not have to do it for them. This regime is on the outs.

vernonFL: LOL. There are only a couple of thousand cars in the whole country, and they are all driven by high ranking government VIPs.

You don't need traffic to run into a tree.

North Korea obviously has no seoul.

No, but you do need the effing long-range missiles to actually WORK.

Well, Adrian, it's not going exactly well. There's a water buffalo jackknifed up there. It's not a very pretty picture, there's horns everywhere. I dunno what to say, we're gonna maybe drop in a little napalm there, try to cook him down, have a little barbecue.

We keep calling this place "Best" Korea. We really should be calling it "Worst" Korea, because it's much worse than South Korea.

I'm sure you understand this already, but it's meant to be ironic.

I for one find this easy to believe, have you seen the way Asian's drive?

Please feed the sterotype troll.

You do, however, need trees.

Seriously.

Best Korea ranks as the 3rd worst country in the world for deforestation. I'm not sure how much of that is due to burning the wood for heat and how much of it is trees dying because people are eating the bark.

N. Korea is truly, deeply farked.

Now that Dear Leader, Jr. is in charge, someone needs to update that pic.

I was thinking of the "real" picture of that kid from UP!. He looks like him all growed up.

Flab: Why not both?

Step 1. Eat bark.
Step 2. use dead tree as firewood.
Step 3. Juche idea.

Yes, when you're starving to death, you get very ... innovative, frugal, very adept at "killing two birds with a single stone," so to speak. I'm not sure if there's a good single word in English for that combination of desperation, practicality, and frugality that such conditions generate. There are some books, such as Nothing to Envy, that go into some details as to how the Koreans have dealt with poverty and starvation.

(You could also see examples of this in London during the Blitz, or victory gardens, or the USA during the Great Depression. It's universal.)

I taught school for a while in a village in Nepal, just before the Maoist uprising of the mid-1990s. At the time Nepal was ranked as one of the poorest countries in the world, though this was a bit misleading. (Because the vast majority of Nepalis were farmers, there was very little currency but also virtually no starvation, and Nepal was actually much better off than many other countries).

I was amazed at how little trash I generated each week. It was almost nothing but paper. Think of how much of the trash you generate each week is empty containers or wrappers for something you bought. I had none of that. Even so, when I would go to burn my trash (there wasn't really any other way to dispose of it), people would stop me and ask permission to go through it all to see if they could find anything of value. By the time they were done there was very little left to burn.

I bought food in the market by weight (every merchant had a balance scale and set of weights), and the lentils or other item I bought would be wrapped in reused paper. One time I noticed that my lentils were wrapped in the homework assignment I had just graded and handed back to a student the day before.

And that leads me back to a point a made before: that North Korea is truly and deeply farked. On a grand scale of global problems, being ranked as one of the poorest countries in the world and suffering a Maoist uprising is really somewhere in the middle. Canada and the USA are at the "too much goat cheese in the salad" end of the scale. North Korea is at the "fighting to death over corn husks" end.

ciberido: North Korea is at the "fighting to death over corn husks" end.

That bit about corn husks was not hyperbole, by the way. Link didn't work right.

Though, it was corn canes, not cork husks, apparently.

You may have to google it if I can't get the link to work this time.

You can't make a new communist regime without breaking a few minor party officials. It's just politics as usual.

Better give yourself a little extra time...it's rush hour in Pyongyang.

Were they all... decaffeinated?

vernonFL: LOL. There are only a couple of thousand cars in the whole country, and they are all driven by high ranking government VIPs.

So why be surprised that those are the ones involved in accidents? Of course it won't be the laborers dying in the crashes. Their job is to move the backdrops.

Kim Jong-il: SO SOLLY!
