Democratic People's Republic of Korea

Democratic People's Republic of Korea

[Loud Whispers]

Propaganda:
noun
1 [mass noun] information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a political cause or point of view. - Oxford English Dictionary.

Throughout civilization dating back to the first days when the art of rhetoric was being inspired, people have known the value of information. This thread is an aim to encourage the exposure, deconstruction and education of Bay12 and internet of propaganda in a humourous manner.

Rules:

• In general, politics discussions go into their respective threads, this is about propaganda.
• It is good practice to enter this thread holding no notion of nationality, propaganda has a nature to offend.
• Normal board rules apply.
  
  
  And to start this off since it's a current topic what with 1.2 million North Korean soldiers loitering on the DMZ, I think it'd be fitting to have a North Korean edition.
  
  North Korean news report on America's homeless.
  
  And without further adieu, get back to work.

That video is just hilarious.

"There are no birds, they have been eaten by the people that live in these tents and corridors."

[RedKing]

Mmmm, hobo pigeon.

Mmmm, hobo pigeon.

The best kind.

[Loud Whispers]

I find it quite peculiar they show respect to humanitarian organisations like the red cross. YUMMY

In case of video take down, full transcript of the North Korean news report of the American homeless:

"How Americans live today."

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

"This is how Americans live today.

Drinking coffee made of snow and living in tents, buying guns to kill each other especially children.

Some people complain about the guns."

Living on the streets of modern day America.

"These trees are full of snow. You'll see that there are no birds, they've been eaten by the people who live in these tents and corridors. This man awaits heroin.

Their houses blow down very easily. And they have to live in tents like these. This man, will show us his tent with pride.

He points to his items but the camera notices his roof has fallen down. This is common in modern day America.

The American red cross supplies curtains and walls from material from North Korea. Again, there are no birds in the trees apart from these, which will be eaten on Tuesday. They are yummy.

You can also eat the snow of which there is plenty in the United States.

These people lie holed together where their dead friends are in blue body bags, drinking coffee cups full of local snow. They are very good friends. They are together in adversity.

In other parts of America often disguised as foreign countries in Europe, people live the same terrible life. This man, a former republican candidate, for Oregon, is now having to get coffee made of snow from these trucks. Many Americans have to live like this daily, and are entitled to one cup most days. The weather is freezing, but the hot snow tastes nice - That man's taking blankets while they're looking.

They are very grateful for their government handouts. Yummy. They enjoy it immensely.

Meantime, in the major offices, factories and railway stations people sit around on expensive adverts of dell computers drinking snow from plastic cups.

People pass by, not caring. For they are all in the same situation.

These telephones no longer work, there is no one to call.

Some lucky people are allow beds and floors indoors like this. This is how they live in modern day America, huddled together the poor, the cold, the lonely and the homosexual. The North Korean camera crew awoke this guy who was very cold, and gave him some North Korean coffee and a blanket.

Meantime these people queued up for handouts from the democratic people's republic of Korea, and were each given a cake."

"The poor, the cold, the lonely and the homosexual" ....

"which will be eaten on Tuesday. They are yummy." (the birds)

I find it quite peculiar they show respect to humanitarian organisations like the red cross. YUMMY

It's because the American Red Cross works with North Korean materials, and more importantly, North Korean coffee, made with hot water.

You obviously mean hot snow, of wich there is plenty in America.

All of it

"Again, there are no birds in the trees.  Except for these."
Why does he keep returning to the birds in the trees? 

But yeah, it's fun to go on a binge spree of reading/watching North Korea propaganda. 

[LordSlowpoke]

PTW. Oh boy, this will be fun.

[Lightningfalcon]

WW@ Propaganda is espicially fun.  Has good points, but still fun.

Kimjongilism, a trendy new institute in America

[Kimjongilism also covers the rationing of Tuesday's birds to the homeless]

[Flying Dice]

There are no birds in the trees, except for these. They will be eaten on Tuesday. They are yummy.

That was IMO the best bit.
