This was posted about some time ago but I couldn't find the link so here it is.
The UK band Faithless has a full-length streaming video of its latest music video, "I want more". It combines techno music with images of North Korea's mass gymnastics shot for the documentary "A State of Mind."
Never seen anything quite like it.

I'm pretty sure it's meant to be a libertarian satire on communism. And a rather lame one, at that.

I think a genuine North Korean website would contain more references to the Kim family than to Marx. Also, I don't think they'd openly admit, much less endorse, the existence of class distinctions in North Korea. |
