It was recently discovered that DPRK’s last semi-hilarious attempt at getting a front slot on Western news (a cheesy video depicting the fiery destruction of NYC by a proud North Korean-made nuclear missile) had been mainly lifted from a US videogame… Some poor official propaganda video editor is probably getting a free trip to Bukchang gulag for that one.
But this is not what I find most noteworthy in that video.
The soundtrack to that heartwarming tale of the victorious rise of the Juche over the pulverised radioactive ashes of imperialist Western children is, I jest not, a cheap instrumental synth version of We are the World.
If there ever was a less subtle way to say “Give us our annual dose of ‘humanitarian aid‘ now or we will throw a tantrum until you do”, I don’t know what it is.

I’m not sure what the origin is of this video. All I do know is it is really weird and poor quality.
