Quite possibly the best documentary I've seen: North Korea "exposes Western propaganda"

    This film is awesome. Sure, it has some obvious bias slapped in for good measure, but it's freaking hilarious how often it's brutal and on the mark about certain phenomena of American culture.

    It's just 1 part of 10, but I think this is a great snapshot. I'm tempted to watch more of it.

    I'm going to bed soon and will digest this, but I think this is a great conversation starter. Let me know what you think.

    That makes me feel dirty.

    I can't say that I disagree with much of the take on what is largely Western pop culture. They have highlighted the worst of the worst and ignored that daily life and pop culture can often reflect a different image.

    As with all propaganda (call it what it is, marketing) it paints a very particular message using truth skewed to the objective and embellished with the particulars of context.

    Remember that this is only one part of ten. I wonder what the other content covers.

    I watched it with my wife. It was pretty fascinating. Good find.

    I've watched 3 of them, and haven't found anything that I disagree with yet. It is scary how these are more accurate than Alex Jones or Rush in what they say.
