The World Cup - North Korean style

Spare a thought for the much beleaguered citizens of North Korea – one of the most bizarre places to live on the planet.

With their autocratic and somewhat megalomaniacal Kim Jung Il in charge of every aspect of human existence, the population were treated to this very interesting summary of the World Cup. Check out this You-Tube video allegedly taken directly from North Korea’s only TV station. Click here for the direct link.

After such a stoic performance, the powers that be in North Korea gambled on showing the DPR against Portugal live. The gamble backfired somewhat, with the Koreans suffering a seven zero defeat to the team from the Iberian peninsula. Not exactly for the Glory of the Beloved Leader.

Rupert has heard that after the final witness the TV cut to a documentary of happy peasants talking of the virtues of collectivization farms.

Who was it who said “you can’t fool all the people all of the time”?
