'Executed ex' of Norkers' bonkers Kim Jong-un rises FROM THE GRAVE We're delighted to announce that reports of the execution last year of North Korean chanteuse Hyon Song-wol appear to have been greatly exaggerated. The former lover of Nork supremo Kim Jong-un was allegedly dragged before a firing squad along with fellow musicians on charges of "videotaping themselves having sex and selling …
I find it hilarious how news outlets like Chosun Ilbo can fool the real media into believing their lies. I would almost think that Chosun Ilbo is really run by the North Koreans as a (sadly successful) propaganda operation: have everyone believe a bunch of ridiculous lies about North Korea, then prove some of the crazier ones wrong so that people start to doubt whether they've ever been told the truth in the first place.
Or it could be that the people running the newspaper believe so much in their crusade against communism and North Korea that they've lost all sense and don't realize they are hurting their own cause, like many political commentators in the United States are hurting their own political parties.
Even if it were true, they have a pretty poor view on what constitutes the state's responsibility to its people.
Perhaps if they were free to do what they wanted, it would be a start. Perhaps if there was lots of food and everyone could heat their homes in winter that would help.
At least they have a 300 metre high hotel and an egomaniacial leader whose very sight causes soldiers to jump into the sea to touch him.

How could we tell, they all look alike with the state-approved hairdo! Seriously, didn't they shoot her in the first place and it all was a media stunt to deter other potential porn producers for China has the legal monopoly to sell porn to Norks? Did it take eight months to find a doppelganger? Is it a test of their CGI skills?
Nah, not that harsh - or even worse?
When you've been drilled to be totally in sync from a very early age, probably already synchronously dropped out of a womb, you can't help but doing it all the time. The Norks may not have achieved much but they perfected human swarm behaviour.
Line her up for next year's musical farce! She might be dead but that's not going to stop her being entered for the competition if some of this year's entries can be taken as a guide. NK in Europe? Like Israel I guess; the United States of Europe is extending east.
BTW did the audience in the video remind anyone of Monty Python?
Good to see the so many of the Reg's readers are experts on North Korea, both possessing a knowledge of the language and having resided there during long periods. That they are so willing to share their profound knowledge of the country with others is just the icing on the cake....
