Exclamation Inside North Korea

Didn't know where to posts this so figured "hangar talk" will do...

This guy (Shane Smith) was very determined to get into North Korea and see what it's really like over there... After many trials he ended up flying to China and bribed a North Korean customs agent for a visa into the communist nation. He posted 14 mini-films from his trip here; personally I found his stories fascinating...

The divine leader and the architect of the world's greatest structures welcomes you - a member of the Imperialist Armed Forces of America!

Love the propaganda movies he incorporated into his mini-films - the levels of brainwash surpasses even the Soviet mass indoctrination of the 50s.

I spent a year in South Korea for the USAF. Although I cursed it for the first month I was there, it turned out to be my favorite assignment. Those Koreans sure are crazy.

Anyhow, after seeing this image, it is clear to me who the winner is between the two Koreas.

Where would you want to live?

I've always wondered what that one spot of light in southwest North Korea is. Kim Jong il's palace?

Probably the only "bright spot" in North Korea...
