Look Inside North Korea

[Pajari]

That is worth 2% of North Korea's GDP.

That's like what, five bucks?

 

[Malky]

Yeah, in a world where five bucks is equivalent to eight hundred million dollars.

 

[Ratty Sr.]

That is worth 2% of North Korea's GDP.

That's like what, five bucks?

Apparently enough to pay for a quantity of nukes sufficient to flatten most of the western US.

 

[Silencer]

There's a dissident cameraman living in the PRK that occasionally manages to smuggle out video clips of the *real* PRK to the BBC, but I can't seem to find him.

You and the North Korean secret police.

 

[Jebus]

I didn't find the tapes themselves, but here's a transcript of one of them (for those who are interested).

 

[KQX]

I managed to find a similar documentary by the Discovery Channel that focuses on N. Korea's children.

Well, that's still not much, when you consider that North Korea's GDP is about 3% of the South's.

I have no words for that Stalinist shit...
This is the pic though that shows Stalinism don't work:

The Korean Peninsula by night

Do borders usually illuminate?

 

[Ghoullove]

PSSST!! (whispers) The borders are radiation from North Korea making the bomb. Pass it on!!

 

[Tagaziel]

Did anybody get an "Whoah, looks Illuminati-ish" feel the first time they saw it?

On another note, it does appeal to me. As do all out-of-the-ordinary projects.

 

[S]

the street are empty it's like a ghost town, no cars or much activity to be seen from those photos. Now thats scary

nothing wrong with the building, it just looks like a nuke silo

 

[calculon000]

Did they have to make the building so ugly? It seems that commies are required to make all buildings big cement clusterfucks.

Also, yeah, that pic of the peninsula does show how crappy communism really is.

 

[Tannhauser]

A nice picture of North Korea pretending to be a civilized country. Deserted streets and all.

 

[KQX]

Look, say what you want about Communism and N. Korea and all, but don't you dare say anything bad about Commie buildings and Brutalist architecture. Within each Commie building, there's always something special to love.

Klik my sig link for more of these misunderstood buildings.

 

[John Uskglass]

That's not exactly Brutalist though. Looks later then Brutalist.

That looks like a reasonably attractive city, weird. No cars in the entire place? :

 

[Carib FMJ]

I have to hand it to the N. Koreans. They sure know how to make appearances.

 

[Loxley]

As far as i have heard, most of north korea is pretty much unchanged since the korean war, the only difference beeing the capital and the army.

 

[keyser Soeze]

Uh guys...I'd swear that was a missile silo disguised as a massive government/public building.

My first thoughts also -.-
