Lies, lies and damn lies! The Dear Leader is saving lives and inventing new medicines and all you can come up with are these running dog imperialist slurs!

Shame on you!

Dear leader is a despot, 500 years behind the world, and needs to go. Over 1 million people (the low estimate) died of starvation during the 1990s, during an age of Ramon noodles and instant Osoba. Tell me, who did the great fat one save? I understand this winter again will be a harsh one for the North Korean people. I wish you well, and freedom for your people. Get rid of the fat one.

Gerry, if we can’t get rid of the puffy-haired freakazoid, we can at least make fun of him. Or we can sit back and enjoy the involuntary comedy emanating from the regime and its supporters.
The site above is (meant as) parody (it is very hard to tell!), but this bit of poetry is not. Enjoy!

Beyond the Bektusan
The Motherland oppressed for so many centuries
Our beloved Leader transforms the history
The paradise on earth emerges
Korea salutes to the eternal Sun of the Juche
By the streets of Hyangsan
a child question to his father
How it is the life beyond the Bektu?
People kill for money
The egoism is king
There’s no peace neither harmony
just a nightmare, nothing else
Ten years of life are enough to pull a trigger
Ten thousand are needed so that the miracle takes place
What is our fortune?
From the sky came a great warrior
With a heart purer than the diamond
He rescued us from the suffering
Brought the happiness and pride
to this horizon
To live and to die following his steps
There will be no tear lakes that fill the emptiness
But guns and soldiers who will defend his conquest

LOL, but you sounded so Northern. Must have been your accent.

hehe. As I said, it is very hard to tell parody from earnest panegyrics when it comes to NK.
As for my accent, I’m currently infiltrating Rio de Janeiro on behalf of the Dear Leader. I’ll try harder next time.
Note to self: Gotta… work…on my accent.
