South Korean media (maybe TLR can give a read out on that later), also casts doubt on this TV fiasco. It said, I believe, that Pyongyang said it was live, but it appeared to be taped and they sent it some hours after the event (to be sure no embarrassments occurred or happened). It also had odd splicings of the famous crying and scenes that did not match. Like I said, those female soldiers are the WORST! Really this is deserving of a Saturday Night Live segment, the whole crying act and overacting. I am not surprised.

Well, one thing is for sure. It might require long underwear for the mourners:

but I somewhat doubt the Chia Pet needs that now.

Kim Jong un at the front of the limo on the right side, with who appears to be "Fishlips" (aka "General" Jang su taek) right behind him (probably with a Tokalev aimed at the Boy King's butt to make sure he toes the line). What a joke!!

Well it’s all for show, but I couldn’t help but look closer tat those in the crowd...if you look behind those in the front there isn’t that much grief, in fact one woman looked like she was trying hard not to rejoice!

Oddly few tears are actually seen and very few handkerchiefs....looks like they forgot the props. Lots of wailing but I didn’t see a tear....Also noted they were getting pretty wet from the snow.

I agree they likely spliced the video...after all it is propaganda and usually done. Additionally this is to be played worldwide so as you say “no mistakes” can be seen.

I hear the son is officially “ruler” now.

"The Russian and Chinese media said the images coming from Pyongyang on Wednesday were live, but the abundance of natural light at the end, just as it was getting dark in Seoul, suggested they were recorded."

It also had odd splicings of the famous crying and scenes that did not match. Like I said, those female soldiers are the WORST!

"a clearly audible outpouring of grief from mourners, most of whom were wearing dark green military uniforms....estimated 200,000 mourners,... mostly in military uniform."

Interesting tid-bit...." For the 'three-hour procession' ... the capital's citizens had been mobilised to clear snow from the funeral cortege's 40km route".....Looks like even clearing the snow was put on the citizens to do for this show.
