    I'd say most of it is genuine (though some of the recorded crying is undoubtedly exaggerated). When Kim Il-sung died there were masses of people weeping at his statue for a couple of days but then it abruptly stopped, so Kim Jong-il basically sent people there to continue mourning. So yeah, the tears are probably real now but I can't see them being genuine towards the end of the scheduled thirteen days.

    If that is real, that is genuinely one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen...I know that if so, they know no different and all that, but I find it creepy as hell...

    Also, I thought people pounding the ground in grief only happened in movies. And I haven't noticed any tears on any faces, except for that woman speaking at the end. Not that I've err watched it several times /odd fascination with all things North Korea.

    In any case, just when you thought Reeling in the Years 2011 couldn't get any more packed...

    That's not crying, that's worshipping.

    Not to detract from a errr very serious situation, but if you go to around 1:20 on the video you just see two lads standing in the background just staring, looking a bit confused at the whole thing.

    Bita comic relief >.>

    Thats really really strange....Like I get the basic idea of indocterination but to see it actually in effect,like in real life.Its just so weird!

    On a compleatly unrelated note the turkey we got for christmas is frigging gigantic and is currently occupying my fridge and I named him Gordon.

    I think I'd prefer lamb but tis tradition for us.And because of that I've a flipping near 9.kg monster hanging out in the kitchen!

    Though i prefer the party food we have in the evening to the dinner.

    I love spending the day eating crap. Its trhe best part of the day, stuffing down food while playing a brand new game. When I was younger, my nan, would always bring us round old boooks, £1 perfume, and really off date chocolate, and we'd have to sit there and enjoy them. Still she was a bit senile :p

    Still it's the thought that counts.

    Mine said he wants it all at christmas,he said he'd be ok with socks for his birthday.

    I feel bad though even his parents don't make any sort of big deal out of his birthday...

    Just had an amazing moment of stupid :o
    Came back to work after lunch, stopped in the car park and then the usual lights off, radio off etc routine. When it came to the wipers I went completely blank at how to turn them off.
    Cue a process of elimination involving indicators coming on, lights flashing, fan being turned on/off, water spraying before I finally managed :o

    That particular programme is all in Makiton, which is a kind of sign language used with children who have slow speech development, or autism or whatever. I've a small cousin who we suspect is on the spectrum, and since he started watching it, he has come on so much. It looks weird on the outside, but I've a soft spot for it considering his predicament.:o
