Pyongyang Portraits

I found this neat collection of photos from my favorite fucked-up country, North Korea, online a couple days ago. And by ‘neat’, I mean totally CREEPY.

Pyongyang Portraits

The capital seems to be utterly depopulated except for a few posed, unsmiling people in yuppie clothes.

The comments make the article though; here’s my favorite:

excuse me but you are talking through your rear end! I was there as a tourist (I am an Australian) four years ago
and I spent five days in North Korea. the people are very well-dressed in Pyongyang and another thing they are also very nice people.
they are extremely well disciplined and even when the children perform whatever they do sing or play musical instruments
they are absolutely brilliant. I highly recommend a visit to that country-if you are open-minded and you
come from a country where you are actually allowed to get a Visa.

Of course they are well-dressed and nice and talented. Because they are ROBOTS created to show off how great North Korea is. Robots made by political prisoners who are trapped in labor camps because their relatives muttered something unkind about Kim Jong-Il’s haircut ten years ago.

Idiot.
