Aerospace-Based Lame-O Propaganda

Hot on the heels of Irans laughable "stealth fighter," North Korea has released this video gem:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qn95Md3IrRE

Where we get:
1) Muzak version of "We Are The World"
2) A dream sequence of a Nork soldier going into space...
3) On a "space shuttle" rendered on, apparently, mid-1980's computer rendering technology
4) Images of a unified Korea
5) A nuclear strike on New York City

hehe, nice footage of the satellite launcher at the end tho

(is it just me or is the shuttle reminiscent of the 'Buck Rogers' mini shuttle )

Bummer...YouTube yanked it before I saw it. Activision pulled a copyright claim. Did it have an unlicensed use of Pitfall???

The only thing missing in the video was a better soundtrack by a North Korean hair band and some hot scantily clad North Korean women. Some pink and blue unicorns would have been cool too. What was with the weird computer animated spirals at the beginning?

An alternate copy of the video is here: http://up-ship.com/blog/?p=18642

As to what Activision had to do with it... dunno.

I think this is awesome and unjustly misunderstood. The manifestations of true genius are often ahead of their time. We are just not sophisticated enough to "get it".
