Grow vegetables extensively! North Korea unveils 310 new slogans

North Korea has unveiled an exclamation mark peppered list of 310 new political slogans covering every conceivable topic, from the glories of the ruling Kim dynasty and mushroom cultivation to the importance of dependable wives and “offensive” sports.
Oh, and the perennial need to wipe out US imperialist scum.
Political slogans are an intrinsic part of the relentless, daily propaganda formula that North Koreans are weaned on almost from birth.
Those published by the official KCNA news agency on Thursday were drafted by the ruling Worker’s Party of Korea (WKP) to mark the 70th anniversaries its founding and of the liberation of the Korean peninsula from Japanese rule.
