"People Blessed with Generals" - more Juche fruit
2004-12-05
Everyone needs a good laugh
A presentation of writings on the subject "People Blessed with Generals" done by foreign students studying at Kim Il Sung University took place at the Taedonggang Club for the Diplomatic Corps on Thursday on the occasion of the 13th anniversary of leader Kim Jong Il's assumption of the supreme commandership of the Korean People's Army and the 87th birth anniversary of anti-Japanese war hero Kim Jong Suk. Present there were foreign students studying at different universities here.
Just how desparate a foreign student do you have to be to study in Pyongyang?
Put on the stage were dialogic poems, essays, travel notes, accounts of visits, impressions, etc. In the dialogic poem entitled "December 24 We are Observing" Chinese students impressively told the audience how significantly this day is marked not only by the Korean people but by the world progressives. In the essay titled "Focus of the World" and in the travel note captioned "Treasures of Korea" Chinese students highly praised the feats of President Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il who has successfully carried forward his cause, their traits as great men and the Korean people's happiness of being blessed with the generals generation after generation. A Mongolian student in a speech entitled "The Language I Have Learned" spoke highly of the greatness of Kim Jong Il. They presented chorus "Remembering the Old Home", male vocal solo "My Blessed Life" and other Korean songs. It closed with chorus "Comrade Kim Jong Il Is Our Supreme Dumbf*ck Commander."
Where can I find the lyrics to that?

#8  And it is quite clear that not a one of them is a protoge of Army First Man.

The quality of KCNA is steadily going downhill. At this rate, there will not be a Pyongyong Pete around that will be the NKOR equivalent of Baghdad Bob.

#7  "People Blessed with Generals"

I can only assume this refers to how the American South, even now, feels it was "blessed" with General Sherman.

Just how desparate a foreign student do you have to be to study in Pyongyang?

I hear tell that Ethiopian students are awestruck by the dormitory cafeteria's mountainous portions.

#6  The image of being a foreign student in Pyongyong, graduating and coming home to your impoverished Asian or African country, and your parents and friends asking what you learned....and then you realized that you learned not a damned thing except a bunch of Nork drivel. And you got some 'splaining to do about the scholarship. Then it's a Mose Allison moment:

What do you do after you've ruined your life
Where do you go
Who do you know
What do you do after you've blown the game

#4  A Little Carrot Juche if you please... I just see Bugs and Dear Leader in a short.

Grab a fence post, hold it tight, Womp your partner with all your might.
Hit him in the shin, hit him in the head, Hit him again, the critter ain't dead.
Wop him low and wop him high, Stick your finger in his eye.
Pretty little rhythm, pretty little sound,
Bang your heads against the ground.

#2  ....I don't know, guys. It just doesn't have the same ring as that golden oldie, "Can I Have That Boiled Grass When You're Done With It?"
