It's funny how people wanna denigrate Americans horrible imperialists and biased against North Korea, yet here we are on youtube able to talk openly about the shortcomings of a country including our own. The USA is not perfect, but at least I can speak out against my government and work to change it.
@portyhead actually, apparently Obama signed an act on new years to detain without trial anyone who speaks out against the American Government on the internet.
north koreans children's dreams are I hope i eat food tonight and my family isnt thrown into political prison. News flash the dear leader is a pussy and N Korea sux
@C4rn0 the fact that a lot of dim witted individuals are awed and amazed by this in a positive way just goes to show how effective this ploy really is. (ty......im amazed that some ppl dont realize what propaganda is)
i would prefer to live a society like north korea unlike the united states with the bullying, popularity, isolation and the need for always getting the next product on the market.
people in the united states are also conditioned but unlike north korea where the country controls everything in here is dictated by the businesses, hollywood who is controlled by the rothschild zionist.
if NK worship Kim Jong Il then in the united states people worship celebrities nothing different.
exactly no difference at all unless you believe what the liberal and conservative media of the western nations, which is controlled by the illuminati and secret societies, to what they have to say about countrie that are not willing to open their economy for foreign investment.
OK Classic Non american answers in america you can do whatever the fuck you want. I Am sick of these poeple who live in weak ass Coutries like sweaden or however the fuck you spell dissing on the Americia. If you countries are so great then attack america and see how that goes for you . or as old GW says " Let The Cannon decide.'
@hollygirl451 You know this comment is exactly why everybody fucking hates us. I'm American, and proud of it, but shits like you are unfortunately what the rest of the world see's in us. Now I know you don't give a fuck about what I have to say (or rather anybody), and I respect that, but I just want to let you know that you are one of the many shitfucks of society that is making America look bad. Stop it.
Sweden and many other industrialized nations have a much better standard of living that's why Canada, Austria, and Australia are always topping the top 10 list of best cities to live in, the highest the US has is like spot number 30
Also if you were to measure the greatness of the nation purely by military then that's just plain stupid, by that logic the USSR was a good place to live in
If Hannibal Lecter was listening to that performance, he would kill and eat the fourth mandolin player from the left for playing slightly out of sync.
There is nothing wrong with being forced into life of performing and music from a young age. That's how Michael Jackson started and he came out just fine...
What would kill me if I was over there is the music. The goddamn stock music you only hear in our elevators. There is no other music and that's the most depressing part to me.
When I was young, the government use to make some of us fake it for Foreign people. I see the same picture here at their school. Lucky we are not communist anymore. Honestly Communism is scary, because though you don't fuck up, your relative or family member might fuck up. And then someone must pay the price
Look an angry Brit, bashing America seems to ease the pain he feels from living in an insignificant country. With a twenty percent national sales tax and a mandatory yearly TV license I geuss I would be a little pissed off too. Top of the morning to you guvner.
Thanks to the Vice guys for an outstanding and entertaining doco. However, we probably needn't feel too sorry for the North Koreans or feel patronizing toward them. Those talented schoolkids seemed perfectly happy to me and put on a great show. When Shane walked up to give them their flowers, compared to them he looked untidy, like one of the west's many unfortunate homeless, and the kids might have been feeling sorry for him!
God they have such shitty music over there, its so old and out dated. I think its ironic that they make a big deal about creativity and art. when its not creative or artistic at all, its all ironic in a 1950s soviet kind of way of being artistic, but its got this weird campie 1970s feel about all the buildings. don't they understand that Shane just mocking them? well no they don't because they don't know any different.
You should respect, that they don't live the "american lifestyle". There's not a mcdonald's at every corner, and their meaning of life is not just to be a consumer.
Yes it is a communist state, and the people are brainwashed. But there are many positive things there too. There is no criminal, no drugs, and in some ways their lives are better.
@jakatom lies there is so much crime there, there is no way that a society that is starving to death can have no crime. there have been films of people selling human meat in the countryside. and about the drugs, North Korea make all there money through drug trade with china. The reason why everybody is starving is because all there farm land is being used to grow poppy's.
@OrientOranges Worse, one of their relatives are probably blamed for it and sent off. And if they fuck up again, then another relative will be sent off and they will make sure you know its your fault until you get it right!!!
Anyone notice that its a picture of their leader on every wall of every room in North Korea...
