Hard-Core
Stalinist propaganda, Juche style. A searchable database of a decade's worth of KCNA articles, with added insult generator and a handy Juche Era conversion tool.

I am so tempted to convert all the dates on my website into Juche Era dates...

You bourgeois political dwarf, you will be dealt a thousandfold retaliatory blow! Hee! Good post, thanks!
-
You reckless philistine, we will thwart your frantic attempts to stifle us! Let's party like it's Juche 94!

Cuz they say Juche 89 party over -- oops out of eights So tonight I'm gonna party like it's Juche 88 In Juche 614 / If man is still alive anymore If woman can survive / They may find........ In Juche 1614 / Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies no more Everything you think, do, or say / Is in the pill you took today Wonder if this is the stuff they sing at the community political meetings.

"You half-baked running dog!" Kim Jong Il was really insulted by that movie. I heard he thought the US gov't supported it to needle him. I don't think he gets satire much.

You bellicose philistine, we will transform your country into a sea of fire! I loves me some DPRK rhetoric. Bliss.

The sample searches suggested are if anything even more amusing and/or horrifying: as well as the standard propaganda fare there's gems such as a search for a well-shaped cucumber. Well, we're all looking for one of them.

Maybe that Juche date convertor will come in useful in 2012, when UK businesses are legally prevented from using "2012", "summer", and other Olympic-related words. Enjoy the Juche 101 Sporting Event here, comrades!

This is incredibly cool. Neato beyond belief. I spent a long time reading KCNA a few years ago, and you'd be amazed how much it can tell you about the mindset of the North Koreans. Fascinating place.
