STRANGE Music Video Seems To Promote, Glorify NORTH KOREAN NAZI-LIKE Regimentation (Gotta See!)

If you can stomach it (both via the above link and here):

Link: http://mfile.akamai.com/1689/wmv/bmguk.download.akamai.com/1689/Faithless1/faithless_wmv_high.asx

is a 2-minute streaming video (broadband recommended), on Windows Media Player, by a U.K. "trance-rap" music group called 'Faithless'.

The song is called "I Want More".

One would FIRST think this would be pictures of starving North Korean peasants, crying in the Korean language for more rice gruel.

But what you will be 'treated' to is a clever if not disgusting tribute to the mass brainwashing in North Korea, particularly in the more privileged capital city of Pyongyang, and 'mass games' in the sports stadium, intense socialist-flavored gymnastics, N.K. soldiers on the march and wholesale worship of the Kim dictatorship--all to the beat of the UK group's music.

One wonders, what's the point?

Watch if you can stand it.

Maybe this group could NEXT do a follow-up video-- setting videos of rummaging North Korean street children at train stations recently released through a human rights group and Japanese TV station--to a disco beat? Or a hot dance track featuring images of North Korean refugees being machine-gunned as the Chinese authorities return them to North Korea across the Yalu River?

Now I've seen everything......

[AmericanInTokyo]

You are not going to freakin' BELIEVE this stuff (if you have not already seen it)!

[AmericanInTokyo]

Hey, you'se guys, too! Ping!

[AmericanInTokyo]

The poor kid who screwed up on his color card while practicing, has probably since been sent to a work camp in a coal field on the Chinese border.

[AmericanInTokyo]

I would imagine the D.P.R.K. will be the next 'chic', romantic, Che Guevara-type political cause for the avant-garde and worldwide leftist to cling on to, especially if we start to ratchet it up over nukes.

As far as I am concerned, they can send as many human shields up there as they can handle, to receive Uncle Sam's goodies from the air.

[Khurkris]

Well, that is a very cool video. In the finest tradition of Leni Rifenstahl. Very flexible young buggers.
Terrible sad that this represents such an infintesimal part of the society. This talents exists while millions starve and die for its meglomaniacal leasdership.

[AmericanInTokyo]

I could not have said it better myself.

Really sad.

Of NAZI proportions.

Will this start making the rounds at dance clubs?

An outrage when you think about it. I know they wanted controversy...they sure got my attention (and anger) in the process.

[steelyourfaith]

The lyrics ibeing n English is a clever touch, no?

Well the music "I want more" was fitting for Socialist's! I liked the picture of the Ted Kennedy Lookalike. I thought I spotted the Kerry sister's, but I think it was horses pulling the cart, that was a cart wasn't it? Sorry, I have to have my first coffee for today.

[AmericanInTokyo]

One gives pause for thought, in the final split second screen of the video, showing the happy applause by various, highly-decorated senior military officers of the North Korean People's Army in the audience.

How many of their units are battle ready artillery, along the DMZ (a 10- fold increase in the last four years), ready to shower an incredible storm of death upon Seoul, South Korea and it's many Koreans and Americans, within the first few hours of War on the Korean Peninsula??

[AmericanInTokyo]

In a way, I am sorry to lay this heavy stuff on all the FR East Coaster's for this brand new day, President's day, even before they've had a chance to get the first cup of coffee! Sorry! Mian hamnidda!

[OXENinFLA]

Very strange...........

[angkor]

The DMZ battle plan is air power. DPRK: conventional forces, ground attack, human waves, WW II tactics. Not a chance.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Sabaidee.

Well, I know that of course. I know that. However, you do know the projected S. Korean casualties in the first six hours don't you, unless we could take out those 11,000 DMZ artillery tubes by the Norkies, in the first 20 minutes?

[MadIvan]

In the old days, our lads would take out takes of Nazi propaganda films, set it to the music of the "Lambeth Walk" and alter the film to make marching Nazis look like they were doing a kick line.

Too bad they didn't do that Kim Jong Il and his fascist band.

You got it, MI.

At the risk of being flamed, let me weigh in.

My interpretation is completely different. Without knowing the politics of the people that produced this video, I see it as a total trashing of the NK regime. The video depicts the complete regimentation of life in this slave state. There are no smiling faces. The only well fed people are the officers. They are pictured applauding the performers in a pro forma way. Now, I couldn't pick up any of the lyrics past "I Want More". Looking at the slave like behavior of emaciated dancers and acrobats while the signers wale "I Want More" in the background does not seem like an homage to the regime. Just my opinion.

[angkor]

Sabaidee.

That's Thai, yes?

For Khmer its something like "Soc-sa-bai, ta-lai ne-ah teh?" - Good Morning, How are you?

As for the timing of a DMZ battle, I have not seen the numbers but assume they are horrific.
