Once again, it is that most wonderful time of the year... May Day! Yes, that magic day when, as we stand in our bread lines, we can reflect on the wonders of communism: the Little Red Book, rocket forces parading down main street, and struggle sessions until the wee hours of the night!
Above is a uplifting music video by the North Korean girl band the Moranbong Band! As you can tell, the North Korean damsels are far superior to the undulating, mini-skirt clad, South Korean K-Pop hussies that pollute the air waves! Be still my beating heart! How I would love to go to the nearest People's Hall and attend one of their shows, where I could robotically clap as I absorbed their inspiring message!

Nothing says 'Spring Flowers' quite like a MIG. Anyway, I detect a crack in the proverbial 'cosmic egg' over there. I think it's the lack of soul... (no pun intended) in the audience.
Imagine being dragged to that show and having to act like you loved it. I read a book by Barbara Demick called Nothing to Envy. It was stories told by North Korean defectors. One told of the death of Kim Il-Sung:
"Now, surrounded by sobbing students, Jun-sang wondered: If everybody else felt such genuine love for Kim Il-sung and he did nor, how would he possibly fit in? […] He was alone, completely alone in his indifference. He always thought he had close friends at the university, but now he realized he didn't know them at all. […]
This revelation was quickly followed by another, equally momentous: his entire future depended on his ability to cry. Not just his career and his membership in the Workers' Party, his very survival was at stake. It was a matter of life and death. Jun-sang was terrified."
