The surreal moment when you watch a North Korean propaganda film and actually agree with a lot of it o_O
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dw-p84oWW84
Keep in mind though that the uploader/translator said this on hes/her site:
"I have now made public my belief that this film was never intended for a domestic audience in the DPRK. Instead, I believe that these people, who presented themselves as defectors specifically targeted me because of my reputation as a translator and interpreter.
Furthermore, I now believe these people work for the DPRK. The fact that I have continued to translate and post the film in spite of this belief does not make me complicit in their intention to spread their ideology"

"DPR" Korea might be right about America, but it seems they're implying that they aren't doing this to their own population ;p

My response to this film: It's easy to point out others faults, but what about yourself?

My post is a part question/part Rant.
Does anyone know of a site that has a map of where all the non-B.I.D(Business Improvement District) shops are within the UK?
I wouldn't mind, but I am finally at my freaking wits-end with all the shit that passes as consumer-products these days.
This video is right insofar as the fact that people buy/sell and save up for shit, and in this country(the uk) the left is as much in fault over this.  The f****** Labour government signed shit-loads of B.I.D proposals, thus making towns even more generic and shitty looking that they did before.
"B.I.D'" for those of you who don't know are supposed to "Increase the value of the land" they probably (I am guessing) do this, by bringing in Global Capital in the form of subsidarial chains-stores that may or may not have (I am guessing) oversee's parents.(I don't know) I wouldn't be at all surprised if they did. Even if they don't, even if that's not the case, thats still leaves the truth that Chain-Stores being the only ones left that can AFFORD THE RENTS, (set by the B.I.D's....probably)..thus making Homogenized retail Chain's that sell shit....
Even if none of the above is true, then in the Spirit of Stan marsh "the shops are still crappier than they were" :-p
Don't even get me started about F&^$$ Oxford Road, Reading....
GOD DAMN...
....I just can't f*&&& cope, in Reading they have now put a shitty "Metro-Bank" in what was once the glorious home of the "Virgin Megastore", it's like they have to make everything more and more shitty as the years go by until everything just looks like crap. I remember walking in that space once and buying a few cool dance track back in the day, then they pissed on the area by putting a lingerie store, now setting fire the the corpse of the memory and raping it they put a metro-bank.

Well at least you can make yourself feel better by remembering that ultimately none of it really matters and has no significant impact on your life.

Government committee's and other shits, get together and almost do the opposite of Anti-Trust law's, it's like we have "Trust" law's these days instead. Almost like B.I.Ds ARE the embodiment of "Trust" laws, I just think its unfair to small to medium sized enterprises (S.M.E), who don't have the money to pay rent to the overpriced B.I.D zones, so they either have to leave the area or go bankrupt, and be replaced with ****ing Corporate Clones.
And yes it does matter, its Christmass, not that I even care about the stupid tradition of Gift giving anyway, I do it because It makes my family happy(I think). And I don't want to buy a Corporate Clone gift for my family, and its getting harder and harder to escape the B.I.D megacartel zones. Reading extended it's BID zones back in 2009. :-/

What makes it interesting, is that its rather tame compared to western propaganda on DPRK. I was expecting more.

First of all, can you be less of a ****ing mental? Just once? Please?
Secondly:

You actually say you have no ****ing idea what you are talking about (most people aren't this intellectually honest, kudos) but you're still going to rant about it anyway, which is properly ****ing retarded. Most people when they rant, they THINK they know what they are talking about, so they just look stupid when everyone else know's they are wrong. But I can't fathom how absolutely baked you must be to rant about something you know you have no clue about.
Lastly:

The irony is fantastic. In Sydney, what was the Bank of Australia when it was first built eventually became a virgin megastore.

As for the video, you could right an essay on the video and the word irony. Hashing together mixtures of videos that have no connection and some are at least 30 years apart? Oh well. "... And shopping." made me laugh though.
