DPRK Music: Jingle Bells!

[leothedirilo]

the north koreans must have re arranged the lyrics into reerence of kim jong il

[Nxhiku1973]

Bravo! I found this just in time for Orthodox Christmas! Does the DPRK celebrate any festivals similar to Novi God, a festival that was celebrated in the Soviet Union and is still celebrated today?

@Nxhiku1973 Check: Public holidays in North Korea on Wikipedia. :)

this is propaganda to make shoeless rural peasants with no food or fuel feel better about slowly dying in -30° cold. pity they'll never see it!

[MarkRyanSchulz]

Jingle Bells is not a Christian song, it's a Christmas song. There's a big difference. It's about riding a sleigh in the snow. I doubt we'll be hearing the Pyeongyang Choir singing 'Oh Holy Night' or 'Mary's Boy Child' anytime soon.

@MarkRyanSchulz probably but religion aint banned over there

[Madeusz1]

@slimv29 in DPRK You can believe in everything you want to, as long as it does not affect views for leadership in country.

[slimv29]

@Madeusz1 exactly, only in hoxhas albania was religion 100% banned.

[TheTollundWoman]

WTF? This is a christmas song, practicing Christianity in the "DPRK" is a capital crime.

[Madeusz1]

@TheTollundWoman as you can notice, some infos about DPRK are false. ;-)

[slimv29]

@Madeusz1 True, not everything the media says about DPRK is true

[TKTannerman89]

@Madeusz1 Not completely. The state version (which still worships the Kims) is used only as an attempt to strengthen relationships with other nations. Practicing the non-state version IS a capital crime.

@TheTollundWoman

Where did you get those false stats from dumbass, stop pulling stuff from out of your capitalist ass.

[TheTollundWoman]

@AtheismCentral

The World Health Organization, the UN and Amnesty International.

@TheTollundWoman Most of the shit your hear about DPRK is PROPA FUKCING GANDA

[TheTollundWoman]

@TheUSSRsoviet

Yeah I know. What would people who spent their whole lives in North Korea, like Kang Chol-Hwan and Lee Soon Ok, know about the actual situation there?What would the UN know? What woud Hwang Jang Yop, the inventor of Juche who defected to South Korea, know about life under Kim Jong Il? Oh wait. They actually really know what they're talking about, from personal experience. but of course western leftists like yourself have no time for pesky "facts".

[TheTollundWoman]

@TheUSSRsoviet

So why have 23,000 North Koreans defected to the South? How the f*** do you explain that?

[TheUSSRsoviet]

@TheTollundWoman id like a source of that.... not WIKIPEDIA

Christmas is about love for your fellow man and peace on Earth, not about big box gifts.
