The funny thing is N. Korea thinks that a store opening is a big deal! Also folks don't be fooled, this Youtube posting was done by N. Korea's government. Scroll down and look at posts by "yorubablk3" and "waldopeppa". These people are promoting N. Korea on this link. If you scroll down and read, you'll see N. Korea has resorted to debating on Youtube to convince us their "normal"! This country is so pathetic they think this works.

@boombastic4eva

you should do something against your paranoia.

Uhm yeah, we can't forget to have a big-ass ceremonial speech giving thanks to our dear leader for his guidance and such a glorious achievement in how we opened this store. Okay, so every move they make, or everything they do or accomplish, revolves around their dear leader. "Thank you, thank you dear leader for providing me guidance on taking a shit. I would not be able to wipe my ass without your wisdom or guidance." Fucking ridiculous.

@waldopeppa Dumb as a? Dumb as a slug!? Speak modern English not 1550 English.

[Potato12354]

@waldopeppa You´re calling him brainwashed!? You believe your dictator to be a god.

[EntilMattt1990]

@boombastic4eva Its a big deal cause north korea is a communist country and the factories/businesses are owned by the government. so basically the government decided to open a new grocery store...FOR THE NORTH KOREAN GOVERNMENT PARTY MEMBERS! since the citizens there don't have money to buy food from those stores.
