#2 And after working at the Pyongyang "Thermal Complex", the Norks can save on electricity because the "speed youth brigade" now GLOWS IN THE DARK.

It is a travesty that the world media doesn't do more to paste this regime. There are thousands and thousands of people in PRNK that die of starvation every month. We can joke about bark soup and eating dirt and chalk but the fact is that these people are starving and the world media seems to turn a blind eye to the atrocities of this and other communist/marxist/stalinist regimes.

#3 SOG475 - You're absolutely right. And, in addition, they've never known anything but what these insane "Leaders" have told them. When they are finally freed, it will be like a prisoner from a dungeon who's never even heard of, much less seen, the sun.

constructed over 2,000 kilometer-long railroads

2000 1km railroads? That's a lot of short railroads. I wonder if they're from the front doors of military and party leaders to their offices?

#5 A tad more domestic than usual (sadly lacking in Seas of Fire and Running Amuck), but all in all, a good show! 7.9!

#6 How much work does it take to build a duck farm? And where are they going to get ducks? Anyone who has visited the DPRK lately has commented on the lack of birds (like none). Sounds like busy work to keep the minds off the fact that they are STARVING TO DEATH!

#7 In a theoretical sence, you could generate a nominal amount of electrical power if these Korean Cub Scouts manned giant gerbil excercise wheels. As an alternate renuable fuel, many states would provide a tax break as an incentive.

#8 *holds up card* 7.6. I concur with Crescend in all judging points. The mention of Juche is incidental, but enlightening.

The Duck Farm is finished. No mention, however, on whether there are any ducks left to populate it...

#9 *holds up card* 7.0
Glamorisation of forced child labor...good. "Monumental edifices", "revolutionary spirit", "labour heroes" and a mandatory "Juche"...nice. However, a bad faux-pas by referring to the Dear Leader as only a vanilla plain ole "leader" cost heavily...writer to be shot in the morning for lesse majeste.
