1. Hilarious???

Are you serious?

[SlavesandBulldozers]

4. yes hilarious

c'mon, you don't think that's funny?

[waylon]

10. No, not at all

I could characterize this video in several ways but taking cheap shots at my country is not something i find funny, in any way.

Dont forget, YOU are included in that lynching, not just Bush! Hes only been in office for 3 years yet the video, and apparantly some folks here at DU, arent at all offended the US itself is the target of their hatred, not just bush!

No thanks,

American and very proud of it

[LincolnMcGrath]

19. "American and very proud of it"

Human and very proud of it here. NOT so proud of everything America does.

[slackmaster]

5. Scary and hilarious are not mutually exclusive

I like the music especially.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

8. I don't know

I found it both funny and informative. It's interesting to see how other countries seem to be saying the same things about our bullying (if you call CIA backed coups and official military and economic intimidation bullying). Why can't many Americans put themselves in the shoes of the people in other countries and imagine how they'd feel toward American aggression.

Also the chorus reminds me of that song Berserker from Clerks! Great stuff!

[Zuni]

23. I'm sorry

North korea would be a hell of a lot worse if they had our capabilities.

[Loonman]

2. Screw North Korea

I can't support any nuclear proliferators.

Bush morphing into the devil is pretty funny, but Kim is an unrepentent, totalitarian, commie bastard.

[private_ryan]

6. who was defending Kim or North Korea? I miseed that post...

n/t

[SlavesandBulldozers]

3. aahahhaah

I especially like the part about "they stole the olympic medal from us", wow, uh - i didn't realize it meant so much to them. the other thing that surprised me was that "fucking" translates into Korean, who wudda thought?

[Zuni]

29. that is the best part

it gets really petty

[demnan]

7. It is funny in a sick sort of way

Interesting that they couldn't find any translation in their language for the "F-word".

Also look at the cultural borrowing from the west (the cartoons, the rock music, etc.)

I kind of like the morph job of Bush into Dracula, it's been done but not as nicely.

[Catenate04]

9. Sorry, but I don't find anti-US propaganda in any way hilarious.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

11. I think this was sort of tongue in cheek

I don't think any country feels that the principles of America are bad. I think that they find us hypocritical and dangerous. I can't say that I can blame them for feeling that way.

[waylon]

13. I dont blame anyone

who's been brainwashed with years of anti-US propaganda (analogy anyone?) but my first reaction was defense of my country. Not laughter.

Im getting irritated with that lately...


where is that damn cocktail waitress?!!

[Zuni]

26. Sometimes they are right

sometimes they are wrong. i don't agree with everything we have done, but there are sometimes i feel our intervention has been for the better.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

12. Aw, come on. The best way to undermine an opponent is to laugh at him.

[waylon]

14. who is the opponent?

The US, or bush?

Certainly cant figure it out from this video

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

15. unfortunately

the rest of the world equates the US and Bush - another reason to oust the Emperor!

[Screaming Lord Byron]

17. Personally, I'm laughing at the North Koreans

[Zuni]

27. They are pretty comical

they would be funnier if they weren't so scary

[BlueEyedSon]

16. ROTFLMAO!

Funny on so many levels.

[mmm]

18. That is funny

[cosmicdot]

20. Is it easy to capture copies of such flash movies from North Korea?

maybe it's Bu$h-Cheney '04 reverse psychology propaganda to get sympathy for them

:tinfoilhat:

[Lydia Leftcoast]

28. Read my post #24 for the explanation

It's not North Korean video. It's Japanese video of a North Korean broadcast. Japanese news media have a presence in North Korea, so it would be easy for them to capture this.

[bif]

21. I love the America stole our Olympic medal bit

Wow! Do they carry a grudge or what. And they're willing to lob a few missiles at us because of an Olympic medal? Funny and scary at the same time.

[Kamika]

22. old

old and stupid. North korea should be "dealt with" the north korean people are lost anyway, you can't help them anymore, just future generations

[CanuckAmok]

33. "nuked into oblivion"?

Haven't you previously identified yourself as a "Christian"? How TF is advocating the nuclear obliteration of an entire nation a Christian act?

[Lydia Leftcoast]

34. Not to mention

that you may have family on that side of the 38th parallel whose only "crime" was to be caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.

[Kamika]

35. I edited it

But only because it probably broke some rule..

It would be doing them a favor they are lost anyway by brainwashing communism.

Get rid of North korea, let South korea take over and raise the next generation of north koreans (infants) as human beings

[CanuckAmok]

37. using WMDs as an act of mercy...

...that's rich!

[Lydia Leftcoast]

24. The description on the webiste is inaccurate

The narration is in Japanese and explains that this is not a song WRITTEN in North Korea. It was actually written in SOUTH Korea as a protest against U.S. presence there. (Of course! I thought it sounded too "rock" for North Korea, which tends toward martial or sentimental music. Also, the U.S. is not in any sense "in" North Korea, so it wouldn't make sense to have them asking non-existent Yankees to go home. )The North Koreans picked it up and broadcast it on their TV.

Evidently the clip is from a Japanese program (unidentified) telling about the South Korean song that the North Koreans adopted for their own purposes.

[Cat Atomic]

25. The Olympic thing made me spit out my coffee.

I'm not familiar with the Korean Olympic medal complaint, so to me it just sounds like Limbaugh-style "blame everything on your opponent" stuff.

"They made my vegetables go bad! FUCKING USA!... They made my car's alternator go out! FUCKING USA!"

[Zuni]

30. Yeah, that is an example of

blame all of your problems on someone.
I didn't even realize North Korea participated in the Olympics. I do not recall ever seeing or hearing about a North korean athlete

[Lydia Leftcoast]

31. I've seen them in

gymnastics, speed skating, and judo.

They were angry when the Olympics were held in Seoul in 1988, even though the Olympic committee kept telling them that the Games are awarded to cities, not to countries.

[Kamika]

32. No they compete

I feel sorry for them, South korea always have so nicely designed clothes and stuff.. and the communists have like grey or brown clothes

[Screaming Lord Byron]

36. FANCY CLOTHES ARE BOURGEOIS! YOU ARE INTELLECTUAL

YANKEE PIGDOG!

[Kamika]

38. thanks lol

I'm bourgeois and proud ;)

dunno about intellectual though

[Zuni]

44. Fancy clothes are definetly not communist style

Here, we like to have everyone wear matching jumpsuits or overalls and spend 16 toiling in rice paddies.

[Spinoza]

39. Kim Jong Il is not N. Korea

I am astonished that many members on this board actually think the video reflects the opinions of the N. Korean PEOPLE and not just that fascist Kim Jong II.

Obviously, no video of this type would ever be made in N. Korea without the instigation and approval of Kim Jong II. The N. Korean people have no say or any influence. We cannot possibly know what they actually think. I suspect they are too busy digging up insects, shrub and bark for food (while Kim spends billions on nuclear weapons plants) to give a shit about Bush one way or the other.

However, there is absolutely no way for us to ever know what the N. Korean people actually feel and think so long as they are the personal toy of the "Dear Leader".

[CanuckAmok]

40. Hear hear!

I'm shocked to read posts on DU advocating "nuking North Korea" and so forth. We're supposed to be against the use of WMDs against civilian populations. We're the good guys, remember?

Advocating conditional peace isn't advocating peace at all--it's an agenda of force.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

41. As I mentioned in Post #24

the song was actually written in South Korea.

[Zuni]

45. absolutely correct

I believe North korea is considered the most totalitarian state in the world.

[Deja Q]

42. So they speaketh the truth, so what? Screw 'em all.

N Korea's not all that friendly toward us, and hasn't been, but Bush* went out of his way to rile tensions, not forgetting the vile "pygmy" comment.

They're all nuts...

I'm saddened by the one-sided posts here, especially the pro-America ones:

America needs to be the mature entity. It's only shown it's as immature as everybody else but has bigger weapons and prefers to use them at every opportunity, even if it takes a pack of contrived lies in order to use them. :eyes:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

43. I'm with you

Our administration is no more "grown-up" than the North Korea's.
