 <title>North Korea’s propaganda goes online: terrifyingly funny</title>
 <link>http://observers.france24.com/en/content/north_korea%E2%80%99s_propaganda_goes_online_terrifyingly_funny</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
Despite the acclaimed ‘IT revolution&#039; in North Korea,
there are still very few people with access to the Internet. So few, that
studies gauging national percentages of Internet users, simply list North Korea as
‘not applicable&#039;. Despite this, Pyongyang
has created what can only be described as an online propaganda machine.
Available in Korean, Chinese, Russian, Japanese and English, the site is an
online compendium of a particularly North Korean form of cult worship centered
on the ‘Dear Leader,&#039; Kim Jong Il. It may be a serious cyber effort from Pyongyang, but for the
rest of the world, it&#039;s downright hilarious. From horses and Chow Chows (little
Chinese dogs) presented to the North Korean dictator, to paeans a new dam, it
features everything on North Korea you always feared were true, but were too
terrified to contemplate.
