OMG! This unbelievable, ridiculous and hilarious all at the same time!




Edited to add...

It's a HOAX by a comedy website. See Comment #2 below.

1. Has anyone figured out if this is real?

I mean, I love over-the-top nonsense from North Korea, but this one really strains credulity.

One thing that has impressed me about Kim Jong Un is that he is much better at looking at things than his Dad. He points more, and often touches the things while looking at them.

Here he is looking at some socks:



He really gets into whatever he is looking at.

2. Debunked. Fake North Korean Propaganda Video Punks The Internet

'How Americans Live Today': Fake North Korean Propaganda Video Punks The Internet

An English-dubbed version of an apparent North Korean propaganda video that went viral online this week turned out to be a big joke.

The video, titled "How Americans Live Today," features an English voiceover purportedly translating the original Korean narration. The phony translation describes hyperbolic scenes of Americans being forced to live in tents and eating melted snow in order to survive.

The man behind the farce? British travel writer Alun Hill, who doesn't speak a word of Korean.

Hill told The Huffington Post over the phone Wednesday that he received the original video from North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency, which said it depicts the failure of European democracy.
