I swear North Korea's going out of its way to be a timewarped relic right out of the old-school Communist states. The personality cult, the leaving the embalmed bodies of its dead leaders as focuses of state ceremonies......this shit was creepy enough in the USSR and China, North Korea preserving it intact is even creepier. I mean seriously, my icon here is the most succint version of my opinion on this ghastly nonsense but I'm curious what you-all think.

Date: 13/1/12 03:42 (UTC)Soo don't get all morally superior and say the embalming of Kim Jong is comparable to Stalin (and Evita). While on one level it is, but viewed through a different spectrum, it's not that foreign of a practice.
