Blatant propaganda and divisive misinterpretations. While at the same time, between the lines, there is a window of truth - mostly taken out of context but when you step back and take another look, there are many truths here as well.

"Distraction techniques like TV and magazines are the propagandists best tools to prevent people from thinking and talking about important issues."

I'm sorry. Are we sure this is North Korea? The irony slayed me

I kept waiting for the misinformation but it all seemed like a pretty accurate picture of U.S. pop culture to me. Except the tobacco bit looked pretty outdated and I have no way of knowing how accurate the Iraqi civilian death statistic is.

It's like an exaggerated view of our exaggerated views thereby cancelling out the exaggeration...so pretty much spot on.

yeah but North Korea thinks totalitarianism and communism are the same things.
by definition, they are mutually exclusive.

so yes North Korea, we're idiots, and so are you.

Methinks that this kind of criticism says more about the individuals dispensing it than about the intended target...

젠장, 이런 것들은 실질적으로 그 자체를 씁니다.

I have hard time believing that this is a real NK program.
I say that because I highly doubt they would even risk showing any of that stuff to populace or that NK'ers would understand many of the concepts.

Yeh, sure, I don't disagree either. But you just don't see N. Korea pointing that discerning eye in their own direction. The cults of personality surrounding Kim Jung Il & Kim Il Sung beat the crap out of any shitty star worship MTV propagates. They just put a teenager in charge of their country because of what his father and grandfather did. Millions of N. Koreans die annually from not having enough to eat. They give any foreign visitor the 'Potemkin Village' treatment. Not to say the points made weren't credible, but showing the worse of American excess doesn't make that America. I don't watch any of the shit that video talked about and neither do you. We can turn it off.

Sadly, that's not really propaganda... it's the truth.

We are pretty fucked up but so is North Korea so as always, no one wins

Yeah it sucks how much this rings true. If I had to choose I think I would still choose the narcissistic USA to the totalitarian viewpoint of North Korea. If only there was a happy medium somewhere? (Denmark or Sweden perhaps)

Well, I for one am struggling to find something factually inaccurate with this piece of informative viewing.

Actually, Arnie can't be president because he's an immigrant. So that makes everything else false.

While there are some inaccuracies, sadly, most of it was dead on and absolutely disgusting. Wtf is wrong with society.

This is too perfect! The English voice-over is hilarious; as dead and robotic as possible.

I thought Tyra looked very sexy.

"Narcissistic parasite."

They're impressively poetic, and also depressingly accurate in their portrayal of a small slice of Western culture. However, I'm in no hurry to swap

basically the plot of fight club.

YES, YES, IT'S ALL TRUE! I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME!!
