This video has gone 'viral' today on MSN Canada:

Surely must be a farce? Any thoughts?
46.2 million Americans live below the poverty line.

But that video is still a bit much...
Thank you pdsearch, I was certainly not trying to make light of the hardships people are facing, just shocked by the video, wondering if this is how N America is actually being portrayed?
Beat laugh of the week - Thank You!
I particularly liked that the birds (in the dead of winter) have all been eaten - they're yummy!
That the wall phones no longer work - there's no one to call.
That the poor, the lonely and the homosexuals all sleep together in one room - I presume you won't want to be gay in N Korea?
That there's lots of snow in America to make coffee out of. Wonder what they use in Texas?
I really don't know. It actually sounds like something I could see the N Koreans putting out for their own people, but they also have to know that most 1st world citizenry knows better.
I also question why it is on the web at all - something sneaked out to MSN, completely faked, what?
I'm going to get in line for a cake and some good N Korean coffee! (Is coffee even common there?)
I'm pretty ignorant about N Korea, but top news on Canadian radio today was US plans to establish 14 new anti nuclear missile sites on the west coast from Calif to Alaska because of the N Korea's latest sabre rattling.
And then when I went online I found this!
I saw that, too. At this point, a perfect response, I thought.
But this video is priceless. I still can't decide if I want it to be true or it's better than some created a farce. Funny as heck either way.
I just went back to the site and it is listed under 'funny' and 'most watched' so I'm going to assume it's a parody. Sorry I missed that.

This is clearly a black propaganda.
Wow, it's everywhere. Thanks. I didn't register for LiveLeak so couldn't read the comments. Did you read them Pretty?
According to a couple of comments, from those claiming to understand Korean, the translation is a farce. No mention of eating snow, eating birds or homosexuals.
Now I'd like to hear an actual translation. It's pretty obviously a propaganda film, but what are they actually saying?
Lol. If this is really how the NK's portray us, I am quite disappointed with their lack of cleverness.
Looks really dated. May be a montage of old news clips. Curious. Interesting that it's gone viral. Definitely black, (Borat meets Monty Python). I wonder who made it.
I am very thankful for the handouts from North Korea they are yummy!
Ya, that should have alerted me that it was supposed to be a spoof.

Several young Americans were questioned about World War II. Many of those questioned didn't know what World War Ii was. Also, they didn't know how the Allied & Axis powers were. It is further astounding that they didn't know WHO won World War II. Now in another vein,...

This is a public apology to schoolgirlforreal. A short time back, schoolgirl posted a shocking video suggestion in a forum. I went to the video site and received something which was to me very shocking. I came down very hard on schoolgirl for this and actually received some email...
