what a strange country. Kim is a big movie fan. Its like his country is a bad movie from the 70's.

It's highly ironic, for all the displays of military power and cultural properties that the North Korean goverment spews the country is in indefinite economic decline. Standards of living are below 3rd world. Yet they possess a large military force. The fact is the cult of personality is so ingrained there now. Very sad.

Mmm, that's good propaganda. There's no way that a country with people dying of starvation because they can't feed their population has an army of superwarriors.

I don't think so, Gervaise.

I mean my country is also FUBAR'ed with a dictator, and we have all the latest american weaponary.

A tyrant would always secure his dominion, and I think this is the case in North Korea, the cult of personality is so great there. I bet there is a huge interconnected secret police force to keep the population in check. Because have you ever heard of a military uprising in North Korea?

Lets never go to war with korea ever. All our swords and bricks are clearly useless.

Arr... where are me mates to vote tis here up! Arr! Ye Scallywags! Arrr...

Hehehe... that guy to the right timestamped 1.57 and 4.41 didn't make it! what crappy soliders!

Damn, our strategy of invading their country with wooden boards and logs and planks with nails in them has been totally shot to hell. We need a new plan.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

*promote

This video cannot be promoted as a VideoSift Classic because dag promoted a video less than four days ago - sorry.

The Japanese narrator points out at the end that this video was originally shown to the North Korean people after terrible flooding had caused a food shortage. The clip ends with the narrator wondering what those starving people were thinking seeing this on TV.

why no *asia and *miltary tags?

Invocations (asia) cannot be called by Kerotan because Kerotan is not privileged - sorry.

The guy on the right on 1:58 failed hard. Reduced rice goop ration for a week. No no what am I saying, till death.

I like how the only thing you ever see Kim Jong Il doing is riding a horse, holding a gun and looking on approvingly.
