It's Propaganda, Yes, But Maybe It's From Our Side, To Reassure Us North Korea Can't Defend Itself

As war appears to be about to dawn between North & South Korea, if it didn't actually already begin two or three days ago, this very strange video appears on the UK Telegraph site.

The Telegraph story is about "propaganda broadcasts" by North Korea, which featured a female newsreader issuing warnings that North Korea won't allow it's territory to be entered by US or South Korea, on land or sea, during the joint US-SK live fire war games now underway only a handful of miles from waters claimed by North Korea.

The Telegraph claims the above HDNK (high definition for North Korea) video was also aired.

Are we are supposed to watch it and think, "Ha! North Korea is so pissweak and pathetic. Look how shitty everything looks. Fuck North Korea"?

It's only a theory, but that video looks like it was produced by us, not them. To convince us that all North Korea has in the way of defence is a few missiles and rocket-launching flatbeds.

The explanation why this video feels fake is not elaborate. Kim Jong-Il is a movie freak. He is said to have one of the most extensive DVD collections in the world, his son likewise is drenched in movies. Why would either of them release such a piece of shit video?

It's laughable, even for North Korean producers.

It's filled with the kind of stock footage you'd find in the BBCNews library, instead of recent footage from the ranks of cinematographers who are often seen filming the epic military rallies North Korea is famous for.

If it is indeed real (and it probably is, what the fuck do I know?) it only proves that no matter how many movies you watch, it won't make you a great director. By this appearance of that crapfest, it doesn't help one bit at all.
