North Korea, almost certainly the funniest nightmare starvation hell-state on the planet right now, has a new propaganda video on its YouTube, because in 2013 we are all vloggers, even cruel totalitarian powers. It depicts a young boy, Canon camera by his bedside, dreaming of a North Korean spaceship bombing New York City. The soundtrack is "We Are the World"; the footage of New York is from the video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The Guardian translates the captions: "Somewhere in the United States, black clouds of smoke are billowing. It seems that the nest of wickedness is ablaze." Sure, guys. Good luck with that nuclear test.
