North Korea Releases Fake "News" Footage of People Supposedly Mourning Kim Jong Il
Kim Jong Il may have eschewed free markets, civil rights, and even FOOD for the citizens of North Korean, but the man pulled out all the stops when it came to acting classes!
How else do you explain this video?
Supposedly taken just after Kim Jong Il died, the footage - released by the isolationist, communist cesspool's state-run media - shows millions mourning the "Dear Leader."
A couple of theories here: 1. They actually just saw a screening of The Notebook, and the government passed it off as a response to Kim's death, or 2. Armed military personnel promised to let them eat this week if they put on a good show.
Either way, these people look sad!

North Koreans are running out of fake tears
Source : RFA
According to Radio Free Asia(RFA), North Korean citizens are forced to come out to mourning events for Kim Jong-Il, and are forcefully pushed to cry and mourn under heavy surveillance.
---------------------------------------------------------
Some sources in North Korea complained, "we only hope that these annoying days will pass as soon as possible." Another source said, "there are times set for each factory and office to go mourning. Twice a day, at appointed times, we have to go mourn at the statue. On the way back, we have to stop by at the 'research room' and mourn for another hour."
Everyone must go in their pre-appointed groups to mourn at the statue, then come back to the mourning room at the 'research room' - also known as Kim Il-Sung Revolutionary Activity Center - and mourn while listening to mourning music. Sources complained that hours and hours of mourning day after day is dra

Quay, you have to be a complete moron to see that this is not staged. everyone in matching outfits everywhere you turn (maybe not much of a clothes selection over there) and for all of the weeping and gnashing of teeth, I haven't seen one tear on anyones face. one guy's face looked a little moist but I think he was a bit sweaty from all of that carrying on. it's obvious you're the one who is brainwashed as you think you're a professor on all things N.Korean and you believe whatever a school wants to teach you. I happen to know a couple of people who were able to get out of that hell hole and some of their family is still there. THEY ARE TERRIRIFED as if your neighbor even tells on you for saying anything against the govt or Kim Jong Mentally Ill then off to the gulag you go - maybe forever, maybe to be executed. guess it depends on the mood of the so called dear leader and whether he got to have his hennessy, lobster and swedish/ukranian prostitutes the night before. you're a fool a

You may be right about that but your idea is complete speculation as is mine but the way i have seen it there were probably not forced to weep for king jon but were only acted in this way so they could get more food for the week there government as i said is very cruel. They hardly have much food for people and they are starving. why do you think people want to get to the other side of Korea, well ill tell you to get more nourishment and maybe have a little more freedom and they would also get support from american troops ( most of the world thinks this was staged child) then again there is always a slight possibility that I and the rest of the world is wrong.

Oh, and Nick: I saw the documentary about the cataract surgery. There were multiple people who had that surgery performed on them that year, and they sincerely believed that it was only because of the Dear Leader that they were able to have it and receive their sight again. I know exactly what you are referencing. It was not out of fear as you believe, if you had seen the entire documentary.

It is not always in fear of the government. For quite a few people there, fear does play a big part into it. I learned a lot of what I know about N. Korea because I studied Southeast Asian politics in college (was part of my major). The level of reverence for their leaders rivals only Hitler. It can be contributed to a number of things. It honestly was not speculation on my part, it's based in fact. Watch any documentary with actual footage of N. Korean citizens and you will see what I mean. Look at footage for the funeral of the Eternal President, Kim Il Sung, and you'll see what I mean. The reverence that I mentioned is based off of years of brainwashing. And no disrespect to you, Nick or Eric, but I am not speculating on these things. It would be best to base your opinions/thoughts on actual facts of how their culture and society works. Brainwashing and propaganda have been so key to how those citizens live and how the government/military have been able to control them. I wasn't say

To be honest not to anger Quay in any way but this whole spectacle I have seen makes me believe that Eric might be right if you look hard enough there emotions seem staged. I believe there government is very cruel.
