[brucegor]

comment censored by korean officials

[RightWingHunter666]

WTF.. thats insane..Human JumboTron I wonder what happens if you mess up and miss your cue on one the boards? People of North Korea please wake up from this Marxist paradise nightmare and overthrow theses fools.

[jpacs999]

I cannot believe that many people did that for this guy. So that's what it feels like to be a dictator.

The communist party over there are holding everyone who lives there hostage and it's quite sad.

[JennyHaigst]

That is Crazy,!!!?????? For one person,?? I would be scared,,ok,,they are gonna kill me now,!!!??

[Reencarned]

at the beggining Kim Jong Il is like "yea, fuck this shit, shut up, I want to go"

[masterblaster273]

Dear leader the creator of the stadium concept coregraphed all of this while inventing magnificant food called "The Hamburger" and writing 6 operas. Let us not mention fighting the gangster round eye imperialist dogs who are inferior to the freedom loving peace living peoples. All of this while inventing the greatest smelling dish kimchee!

[robertwilsong]

we represent the lolly pop guild

[mahdiman420]

i ordered a big screen tv from north korea. it came with 8 kids and a bag of rice. it said just add water.

[madianyCuba]

So happy that this insane man is dead!!! Cojones y yo me quejo de Cuba!!!

[m1cco]

@xSONxOFxCALIFAS There's no 'they' in North Korea.

[miamivicepastels83]

that is amazing and i was just thinking about someone else's comment on another page. think of all the talent that is trapped over there...artists that cant do anything but praise the 'dear leader'. singers and dancers forced to things other than what they wanna do while they just play along because they are bullied to do so

[seavoyagerful]

Looking further back into history, the United States encouraged several maneuvers that hurt inter-Korean relations, undermining reconciliation, cooperation and reunification between the two parts of the country. The United States still have tens of thousands of troops in South Korea: These troops are a major hindrance to stabilize the tensions on the Korean Peninsula, ensure peace and develop inter-Korean relations.

[mobius1aic]

Nice thing about North Korea: no fat girls, but no curvy ones either :(

[Leinster4life13]

they should get the north koreans to do the olympic opening ceremony,

[gothamjediknight]

I love this performance, gorgeous

[chechitopaisa]

Wow, I thought Paris or Dubai might be interesting places but now... I want to visit North Korea!!!

[sumeone123]

@chechitopaisa Be sure to stop by their concentration camps ;D

[Skandalos]

priceless

[donnomar]

who the hell needs electricity when you have 120,000 human pixels :-D

[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.

This is impressive and beautiful in the same way a nuclear explosion or a volcanic eruption are impressive and beautiful.

From a safe distance.

This whole thing reminds me so much of the interview with KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov.

The careful and methodic process of baffling and awing visitors from the west to hide the dark rotten core.

[soju1993]

@C4rn0 if you would have the opportunity to witness this, I think you would change your mind. those people work hard for doing that and comparing what they do with a nuclear explosion would mean a total lack of respect for what they had been struggling to achieve. those people want everything to be perfect, not because they are afraid but because together they can create something beautiful, something different.

[SirRobertDole2]

@soju1993

The Korean people certainly are strong-willed. Unfortunately it's all been given to a leader who takes everything for himself, gives nothing back, and denies his people basic human rights and communication with the outside world. DPRK has the potential to be a great country, if it's leadership wasn't completely fucked.

[meleszenawi1111]

I am going to be there in august

[box6666666]

holy fuck, that actually was amazing. for all that we know goes on there, i will at least give my accolade for an awesome performance

[imlost19]

so the "crowd" watches the show on their knees the whole time? wtf

[Silver77cyn]

WTF!!!!!i! Those...people...spend all their LIVES for THIS!!!

[brydon2008]

they did all that for tourists .. cant say they dont try to be portrayed well

[liqourmaster]

3:11, I thought Hanja (Chinese characters) has been abandoned by North Korea?

[DrakeIcn]

Wow, this the most glorious thing I have ever seen.

Imagine the perfection and discipline required to do this. They fucking create like a computer screen, but where every pixel is a human being, all perfectly synchronized.

How come I cant be the great leader of some backwater dictatorship :(

It must be awesome

[poxyism]

kim jong is a fat lesbien

[donnomar]

@poxyism I dare you to repeat that inside that stadium in the middle of the show :-D

[ChrisVaughn85]

@poxyism I know right! A korean rosie odonnel!

[DNiizz]

say what you say but that show was incredible .. 

[chezonereds]

KIM SAID AT 0:28-0:33 LAZILY : OK MY SLAVES. ! YOU CAN DOWN YOUR HANDS...YOURE TOO NOISY. !

[chezonereds]

POOR CHILDREN...ALL THEY NEED IS INTERNET AND WATCH PORN ALL DAY..

[Eyecandy4u]

I feel sorry for the children the most. I can't believe that all these people are solely there for the entertainment of Kim jong il. As amazing as the show is, I guess any country can do that if they have enough people who are slaves, and if capital punishment or labor camps are used as punishment if you stuff up or refuse to do it.

[Yaroonn]

That is unreal, simply unreal.

[Gorillarevolta]

I hope he farted in Kim Jong Il's chair

[HGwai]

LOL why do they keep saying "korear"

[kAmi9teen8y5]

What if one of them stumbles...oh...guess all stumblers have "disappeared" a long time ago.

[Haitisuxcox]

THEY NEED GENERAL BUTT NAKED TO LIBERATE THEM ..... and eat their hearts...

[MrDizzy66]

KIM IL THE GREAT LEADER CAN SUCK MY DICK AND IF I EVER SAW HIM IN PUBLIC ID CUT HIS FUCKING HEAD OFF

[xSONxOFxCALIFAS]

haha if only they put this much effort into improving their economy might they be able to afford an actual led screen

[Eyecandy4u]

@xSONxOFxCALIFAS

hahahaha! If they ever get one, they'd tell their people that Kim jong il invented the led screen or something stupid like that

[thejake2000]

Absolute proof of why North Korea should definitely host an Olympics. They been practising the best opening ceremony under pain of death for years....

[mrgezau]

@xSONxOFxCALIFAS no dead pixel hahahaha

[joaquinveyron]

One really can say that North Korea is a living NIGHTMARE, but the Arirang show is truly SPECTACULAR!

[kAmi9teen8y5]

@joaquinveyron Yeah, nightmares tend to be spectacular sometimes...

[aleken]

who does this guy think he is? what has he ever acomplished? all this redneck does is constantly diminish an entire culture or the efford of 120.000 people with a few words. i dont have anything to do with NK or asia, but i am truely disguested by this man!

[CaptainMisterDoctorE]

@aleken Have you been watching these videos? If you have nothing against North Korea at this point, or in fact from any of the other coverage of the nation, there's something seriously wrong with your world view. He isn't a "redneck" who's trying to "diminish an entire culture"; he's a journalist who's put his safety at risk to show us what this place is like, and the absolute insanity of it all.

[aleken]

[CottonDooda]

Okay if this wasn't creepy it would be one of the most awesome things I've ever seen! o__O

[Otty2Hotty]

0:28 "I know I'm great, now take a seat and shut the fuck up, I wanna watch the show. Geez..."

[MrDevah]

Kim Jong Il is absolutely normal. He is not crazy. He might be even more open minded than most people in America. Its just that anyone in his position would not want to lose what he has. Imagine controlling 24 million people, making them do whatever you want. Eating, fucking, drinking whatever you want

[cutthroatnukka]

that is some crazy shit that him jung dude is one control freak motherfucker!

[NinjaJedi]

So many people doing this for one person... wow.

[raza1976]

you raff you ruse!

[funkyVibes]

i like the sofas! look confortable

[soulrisk1010]

The best and most amazing thing about north Korea .

[mondeost2202008]

O_____________________________­____O 

[roudy1689]

look at the bastard @ 00:29, he's like "yeah, yeah shut up, whatever"

[buffington2]

Every country should choreograph something similar for the Olympics.

[kalosbas]

wow 16,413 viewer:P

[vegasskating]

No reason for that guy to be hating. Looks like an awesome show.

[nico623]

@vegasskating I think it's more of the whole...oppressing the entire population of your country for one person that really gets to him.

[TKainZero]

this is insane...

120,000 people to put on a show for 1 person

[seroyer2]

So happy right now, to be born in America, if your from anywhere else beside's here be just as glad. I am not waving the stairs and strips or anything. just glad to be in a far and just modern society.

[MrThahey]

woah, 15,000th viewer

[shyyhs]

LOL you can see One of Chinese Deputy Prime Minister here in this show

[k3bab]

Can you view HD video on that spectical? Imagine watching Avatar on this

[northernvoxmedia]

All that talent going to waste. Imagine if these people were free. Imagine what they could bring to the world!

[Thomash89]

@northernvoxmedia

if they were free, they would prob just play starcraft like the rest of korea :p

[northernvoxmedia]

@Thomash89 Rofl, good point!

[katherineiiish]

They would do a great opening ceremony for the Olympics... If only they weren't fucking nuts and would imprison every single athlete/spectator/person that came there.

[iguire]

They need weed!!!!  like really!!!! they all need to just get fucking stoned

[Radz117]

@iguire And fuck each other.

[KcKiller101]

Im from the U.S.A and I actually find that show very impressive. The country however I do not approve. Those poor North Koreans....

[SteelScream88]

THEY NEED STARCRAFT!

[Batman001]

@SteelScream88

Lmao

[starbugster]

I was brainwashed, too, by the nation of Wall Street, by Wall Street, for Wall Street, of the nation which the average person has less and less impact by the second. There are many forms of brainwashing. North Korea's is just the "hard sell" type. It took me over half my life to figure out how much so.

[amrmark01]

Ture that!



[dasautomega]

I wish i was a dictator and everyone did as i said and thought i was right. Damn this guy is good.

[JonJackson7]

Oppressive...but brilliant spectacle.

[S0rasN0b0dy]

Lulz look at all the brainwashed citizens!

[1986abdulmeghji]

Why is everything that is either different or better than USA weird.??is it because u cant do it.??or because it is different from ur culture..??do u want to save them too like u saved the middle east.??why not try save yourselves from mind slavery and ignorance.??USA is not the world...

[CarelessDrops]

@1986abdulmeghji How can you not think that this is oppressive? Look at you, you have the freedom to go on the internet in the first place and exclaim your opinion because you're lucky enough to live in a place that believes in the freedom of speech. Can you even imagine living this life? Making a enormous show with 119,999 other people for TWO tourists?!

[1986abdulmeghji]

@CarelessDrops Yes you're right,this is oppressive and it should be so..but i was referring to the people who are posting racial or discriminatory comments.Like saying Asians are weird.

[1986abdulmeghji]

@CarelessDrops i meant to say it shouldnt be so..

[starbugster]

@CarelessDrops

You're wrong. I saw a documentary on the Mass Games, and it is attended by many people in Pyongyang, high ranking party officials and residents of the capital city, not just for two tourists.

[ef6854]

It's beautiful ,but if this all they spend their time doing than this country seems economically unstable to function the way it does

[starbugster]

@ef6854

Your comment is spot-on! Sanctions and economics are what make the situation in NK so sad, not the political rhetoric or "weird" differences in viewpoint. Every nation has its fairy as well as scary tales, little anchored in reality. These people need an economy, even if it starts with a tourist trade of only 2, that's a beginning. I also agree that the Mass Games look beautiful and spectacular. I'm going to save my pocket change. I want to go.

[andr00123]

NORTH CO-REA!!!!!!!!!

[DarthVantos]

I like the way this guy just said this is the weirdest thing when that was the craziest shit ive ever seen I would expect not less form robots

[apollo14444]

asians are weird

[kthaag2]

HOORAY NORTH CAREER!!!

[JDankens]

Damn I want to tour N. Korea! Tourist are truly treated like royalty.

[yeastu]

man i gotta say for practicing for two years that was kinda lame. any olympics or world cup or even super bowl halftime show are better than that

[JDankens]

@yeastu dude you can't even fit 120,000 people into most stadiums...

[Brenho]

weird. The english channel in south korea is called Arirang

[MrLaser77]

So how many people were actually there to watch the show?

[MetalHeart8787]

mrlaser for Nortgh Koreans Not many at all

soonme of this show can be seen in the movie state of mind NK documentary. its done every 2 years or so & foreign guests are invited to see it, ( Look! how HAPPY we ARE!)

[crablord]

ya seriously i cant figure it out either lol

[eldiagrama]

speachless

[rippleseed]

that was awesome. such a great display.

[Velocirocktor]

Explains the username "HumanPixels". Wow...

[Zin0ify]

what they need is freedom of speech and the internet

[iammishahearmeroar]

@Zin0ify So, lies and porn?

[Zin0ify]

@iammishahearmeroar no i mean a free nearly unstoppable way to spread the word around every action has a good face and a bad face

[Hypercamera]

@Zin0ify That would destroy theyr country

[FranksDead]

@Zin0ify WOW, WHAT A REVELATION

[jarhead101]

@Zin0ify For what? Porn and smut? They are a more disciplined people than you could ever imagine. There are some bad things about what is happening over there, but also some good. I respect their people, but not the leader.

[Zin0ify]

@jarhead101 is porn and smut all the internet means to you? my family is a bunch of political refugees from the soviet union, they know the difference between discipline and oppression and the north korean people are oppressed giving the illusion of complete discipline. North Koreans have no interaction with different opinions , im not trying to say that this means they are bad, but the internet is one of the most effective way to introduce differing opinions such as yours and mine.

[ArmystrongHOOAH1]

@Zin0ify Makes you feel somewhat lucky that our country is the way it is and that you have the freedom of speech doesnt it? Never take for granted what we have cause places like N.korea, or china cant have any of what we have

[Zin0ify]

@ArmystrongHOOAH1 True that

[Taurusaud]

this country needs LSD or something to make them realize their lives are being dictated.

[BADCOMPANYTILLIDIE]

i'd like to drop a few tabs of LSD nad trip out on that
