Here is a new way to spread official national propaganda – selling it online in the form of t-shirts, tote bags, and trucker hats. North Korea has created its own shopkeeper’s account on an American website that sells custom made printed t-shirts and other products. The country’s official website, http://www.korea-dpr.com/ (which is currently down) links to this online shop directly in its souvenirs menu. Of course the public of North Korea has virtually no internet access. The shop offers a variety of products in 15 designs: two emblems, the rest are pictures labeled “propaganda 1-13”. All this from a site that also proudly carries merchandise showing support for the US Army. First, doesn’t this violate any trade sanctions? Surely the revenue must go to supporting the cruel regime. On that note, we urge you not to purchase any propaganda 7 coffee mugs, as tempting as that may be. And second, how pathetic is it that a country with the third largest standing army in the world, one that has an obsessive national hatred for America, has to outsource its souvenir production and selling to a privately owned American site?
