From ESPN: Rodman's squad -- featuring ex-All Stars Kenny Anderson, Cliff Robinson and Vin Baker -- will play against a team of North Koreans on Wednesday, which is believed to be Kim's birthday. The former NBA players, who arrived in Pyongyang on Monday, also include Eric "Sleepy" Floyd, guard Doug Christie and Charles D. Smith, who played for the New York Knicks. Four streetball players also are on the squad.

Ten out of Ten .... This what Videosift is all about for me!
Ok. How about other cities/ regions producing that kind of quality for their own area?!
New York? London? Mexico city? Buenos Aires everywhere!
Yes and Havana, Kabul, Pyongyang, Moscow etc etc ......
What a library that would be.......!

How the hell did he get visas to get to places like Pyongyang, Kabul, Syria, and Iraq?


Answered in his FAQs:

How did you get into North Korea?
I Googled it. Koryo Tours out of Beijing. They'd be perfectly happy to take you there as well, as long as you're not a journalist. Travelers are actually reasonably welcome in North Korea.

I know it's supposed to be a funny parody, but it reminds me how incomprehensibly insane that country is. It would be fascinating and scary to be in one of their heads.


Only the falling from the sky bit is parody; they really do simply have pretty women in uniform directing traffic rather than traffic lights. Insane, yes, but also sort of awesome.

You do realize that the "translation" is pure BS. I bet there are some North Korean government censors forced to watch YT videos such as these all day long while head-desking the whole time.

Um, the subtitles are ...
F A K E !
Fakity Faking FAKE!


Clearly I didn't realize the fakeness here. I fail at joke comprehension today.

Welcome to the world of pure propaganda. The truly sad thing about this is that the North Koreans actually believe that A)this actually works and that B)it will somehow protect the country in time of war. North Koreans are so brainwashed and sheltered from outside information that they literally believe anything the government tells them to believe. I feel sorry for the millions of people trapped under that regime.
I had to laugh at the metal shoes on the magnet part.

HAHAHAAHA come on, someone tell me this is some kind of joke/fake video... that CAN'T be real, someone took a video about whatever traffic crap, and made up those subs.

"Life doesn't get any better than that. I think I need a cigarette."

"I'm so excited to be part of this, I can barely control myself. I am going to pee any second now!"

*comedy

i dont wanna give it a comedy tag and ruin the joke....

Nice "translation"

shit... this isn't even funny. It's depressing.

Look at those intersections. Only a regime as insane and deranged as the one in North Korea would place someone to direct the traffic in a place with so few cars.

It's sad.

Edit: And I would bet that's the busiest crossroad in all of Pyongyang.
