[ocfightfan]

The Norks are almost as bad as Barack Obama.

They agreed to the rules of the game. Hard to judge another country's practices.

Stoned pre-Thanksgiving take:
Squid Game is actually North Korean Communist Propaganda and this is part of their marketing campaign.

“I like Kim > Trump “. ~~ leftist

Huh? Isn't that the guy Trump was getting beautiful love letters from?

Anyway, I'll reserve judgment till I hear from Enes Kanter on this matter, being that he's an international activist.

Put down the bong.

Escape is nearly impossible now with Covid. KJU has mined all of the paths leading out of NK. Even though the river that borders China is frozen over and you can walk across it, you basically can't get there because of the mines going all the way to the shore.

He's locked down the entire country and any black market activity (to keep yourself alive) has been cut off.

Imagine being in a spot so bad you flee TO China.

[Hellowhosthat]

Obviously absolutely disgusting but at the same time there's not much anyone can really do about it.

RIP to the poor kid though.

 

[Mike]

Is that show it any good?

It's ok. Doesn't really have anything original to say and falls off hard near the end.

 

[genecop]

Excessive for sure, imagine if they smuggled in Woodleys music..

 

[ICHEERTHEBULL]

More bullshit from the CIA funded radio free Asia. “Communist North Korea to kill man for watching show critical of capitalism in South Korea”. Let me guess they will feed him to dogs or some other nonsense

"I think you will have a tremendous future for your country, you're a great leader," Trump added. "We will help it to happen."

"We went back and forth, then we fell in love. He wrote me beautiful letters. And they are great letters. We fell in love." Trump talking about Kim Jong-un at a rally.

Trump was honey dicked by Kim Jung Un. James Franco and Seth Rogan explained this phenomenon in The Interview.

Is this like that time it was reported that the North Korean leader fed his family to dogs? There's a lot of propaganda bullshit made up about North Korea and this seems like more of the same. Yes it's a strict authoritarian regime but this seems more like an internet hoax/propaganda.

Well the problem is that North Korea is so insane and secretive that crazy shit like this does happen but we can’t confirm every report that presumably comes from dissidents based in the South.

The idea that people are put to death in NK for bringing foreign media is a hoax shows a severe lack of understanding of NK. Since the 60s they’ve pretty much banished all foreigners and foreign media.

They’re nominally communist but they haven’t allowed Marx to be read since the 60s.

That someone is executed for bringing in South Korea media is to be expected but of course we have to ask: what is the evidence?

 

[Satan's Daddy.]

That tv show must be like crack, haven't seen it yet.

A North Korean student who smuggled copies of Squid Game into the country and sold them will reportedly be executed by firing squad.

North Korean authorities caught seven high school students watching the violent drama after sharing the show via USB flash drives.

Radio Free Asia reported a student who bought a drive from the smuggler received a life sentence after his parents reportedly paid authorities $US3000 ($A4170), while the six others who watched the show have been sentenced to five years of hard labour.

The punishment was extended to the students’ school where teachers and school administrators were fired and faced banishment to work in remote mines.

Local sources said the smuggler brought a copy of the Netflix show back from China before selling versions of it. RFA reported his death sentence would be carried out by the firing squad.

“This all started last week when a high school student secretly bought a USB flash drive containing the South Korean drama Squid Game and watched it with one of his best friends in class,” a law enforcement source in North Hamgyong province told RFA’s Korean Service on Monday.

“The friend told several other students, who became interested, and they shared the flash drive with them. They were caught by the censors in 109 Sangmu, who had received a tip-off,” said the source, referring to the government strike force that specialises in catching illegal video watchers.

Six others who watched the show have reportednly been sentenced to five years of hard labour.
The arrest of the teenagers marks the first time the government applied a newly passed law called the ‘elimination of reactionary thought and culture’ with people aged under 18.

The law carries a maximum penalty of death for watching, keeping, or distributing media from capitalist countries.

Following the students‘ arrest, authorities have begun searching for more memory storage devices that contain any foreign media in the region.

“The residents are all trembling in fear because they will be mercilessly punished for buying or selling memory storage devices, no matter how small,” a North Hamgyong resident told RFA.

“But regardless of how strict the government’s crackdown seems to be, rumours are circulating that among the seven arrested students, one with rich parents was able to avoid punishment because they bribed the authorities with $US3000 ($A4170).

“Residents are complaining that the world is unfair because if parents have money and power even their children who are sentenced to death can be released.

Not sure if N Korea are that strict on copy right infringements or just because is a big S Korean show this poor kid is going to be killed.

Sounds like a fun place to live.

Maybe trump can write another love letter to his boy Kim to get the kid freed.

According to leftists it's all a big conspiracy and people like Yeonmi Park are just opportunists lying about "the best Korea".
