Propaganda from NorKor
There are all from this website (awesome, thanks)
I actually really like this style of art. Even if these posters are completely ridiculous. Some are just ironic, like the one above, "Let's all go for harvesting!" which would be really cute if there were any food to harvest or food for goats in, "Let's extensively raise goats in all families" (below)
I have a better idea:
LET'S ALL GO FOR THE HARVESTING! NOW AVAILABLE ON BLACK MARKET!
(click the photo)Despite the big stars and stripes on that bag of rice, the Kim Jong Il seems to have something against Americans:
"Death to U.S. Imperialists, Our Sworn Enemy"
"The U.S. is truly an axis of evil."
Here the axis looks like it revolves around Bismark, North Dakota. And anyway, we used that term first. You know you want to be US. Looking at the hands in this poster, Michele Bachmann will be prez in 2012.
"when provoking a war of aggression we will hit back, beginning with the U.S."
When writing a propaganda poster, we will use awkward and lengthy slogans!
"do not forget the U.S. Imperialist wolves"
wtf. No one has a baby that chubby any way. And who is that shady dude holding that woman back? A Russian? Don't put that on US!
"When we say we will, we will we do not talk idly"
Watch out Canada!!

HAHAHAHA!!!! I LOVE how you analyxed all of the posters! Yes, who IS that Russian/non-American solider? And definitely, Canada, watch out for that angry fist!
Great article. The food/famine/malnutrition issue is unrelenting and a shame to their nation. Who lets their children and FARMERS starve?! Yes NorKor, you DO NEED AID!
Did you ever get around to watching the documentary about the gymnast girls? That was very interesting looking at the different social classes/statuses and seeing how well they were treated verses those in the country. SMH.
@Saferia - Hey, sorry for the late reply. I am just coming off a week with my brother visiting. I haven't watched the gymnastic girls yet... I think that is probably languishing somewhere in my Netflix queue. OK, just checked on that. Moved it to the top! Thanks for the reminder
