Ha  We found the same article and posted up at the same time. Ah well, I deleted mine out no point having multiple threads on the same thing.
This thing is just funky looking. It looks like a bad set design from a theme park. I wonder why they wanted to build it, if they weren't allowing tourists into the country and the citizens don't have the money to do stuff like that. |

Yeah I checked both to see who got there's up first and they hit the server at the same time exactly 9:00pm. Ah well. I wonder how the one video managed to get out of N. Korea. |

When I first saw this thread, I thought to myself- naah, it can't be that ugly.
Then I saw it 
OH... MY... GOD!
That looks like Skeletor's castle- after He-Man and his crew tore it up.

| Construction on the Hotel of Doom stopped in 1992 (rumors maintain that North Korea ran out of money, or that the building was engineered improperly and can never be occupied) and has never started back up, which shouldn't come as a shock. |
If I ever become an evil supervillain or an autocratic world leader, I'd want a building like that.
Or maybe it's actually a spaceship- maybe that's what Kim Jong been up to! |

Everyone's always ragging on skeletor . I don't feel the show necessarily fairly focused enough on the motives for his meglomania . If they did I'm sure we'd find a deeply loving and caring individual under his evil facade . |

I have so many fond memories of playing with He-man action figures. My brother got Castle Greyskull for Christmas. We also had Merman, Beastman, Skeletor, Man-at-Arms, and other action figures. They were big, strong, and just looked freakin' cool.
We also got a game called, "Crossbows and Catapults" which is probably the one game my brother and I, now well into our 30s, would pull out and play with if we had time. We've instructed my mother never to sell the game at a garage sale, or risk being put in a nursing home early. |

No slime pit ? No Krenger or Panthor ? No sheera ?
I grew up in dark , dark times . It's wasn't quite the �black plague� or anything ....but it was just as traumatic : The 1980's .
The worst thing about being a child in the 1980's was of course the crap children's tv shows .Try as you may , who could forget the little blue minions of hell that were �the Smurfs" ?
"Flipper" (also known as " Stupid smiling fish with a hole in it")
When one considers that Dolphins are nothing more than gay sharks , one is reminded of a certain Dolphin named �flipper� . Except of course even for a dolphin flipper was extremely gay . Imagine that dolphins had TV shows , flipper would be the blonde guy in queer eye for the straight guy . He'd have the technology and he could rebuild you . Dry your tears . Well *beep* you flipper ! *beep* you and your opinions on fashion !
Stupid flipper . Hey guys , I wonder how flipper will solve this weeks sea bound problem ? Maybe , just maybe , it will involve jumping high out the water . Or perhaps , just perhaps , he'll manipulate his environment using his nose . Mind blowingly it could involve a third option , flipper making annoying clicking dolphin noises . Wow , no wonder they made this show for kids . The fragile adult just couldn't handle it without mass over excitement fueled heart attacks
In fairness flipper was a �show� that ran from 1964-1967 , but thanks to S.A.B.C it was forced on my youth anyway . If it wasn't for Margot that slutty , sexy , flirty weather girl , I'd never have forgave them .
My little pony . (Also known as " Horn ass fuckers " )
My little pony wasn't a show so much a series of manipulative adverts used to market and a sell a product (I'm not actually joking) . That's all good and fine , as so was �He-man� . He-man however was awesome . The toys could do cool stuff like shag barbie and parachute . My little pony could only do crap girlie stuff like get it's mane and tail brushed . It's no wonder all you girls are so dumb with only that to stimulate your minds . I suppose My little ponies could do one cool thing , as I often demonstrated to the girls in my class : Melt . But even that they could only do once .
Then , in a cruel blow of fate I was banned from playing with fire .
Anyway , besides the toys being crap . the show was awful and basically about sex . God knows what they did with those horns .
Stupid 1980's . We should have killed it when we had the chance . |

| I'm glad I'm not the only one with fond memories of that cartoon. I loved it so much that I have the first two box sets of the cartoon on DVD. I have Season 1 Vol. 1 & 2. I never managed to get Season 2 Vol 1 & 2 though. They went up to about $50 eand and I just couldn't afford them when they came out, and now I can't find them. |

Sheera was my first love . Really .
The fondest memory I have of "He-man" was that every time my father would return back from his mandatory militiary service he'd return with new He -Man toys for me and my brother . So I suppose I associate it those glorious times in seeing your dad back from a mess . |
