North Korea -- The Rockin' Vacation Destination!
Entertainment site Boing Boing has fun with a new tourism ad from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
It's everything you could hope for in a confrontation between 19th century pseudo-scientific philosophy and 21st century technology. It has a definite Python vibe to it, as almost everything that comes from our friends in the DPRK does.

Ward Churchill and Hollywood take note: for morally agrieved whinging, y'all have a lot to learn from your comrades in the DPRK.
