Our pay telephones no longer work. A fortunate few get to enjoy superior North Korean coffee

1. The Gara de Nord that appears at 2:17 is the North railway station in Bucharest.

Thanks for telling me that's in Romania. I was thinking Yugoslavia, or whatever it's called these days.

3. I dunno. The documentary says that's the part of America that's disguised as Europe

You know, in order to fool ourselves about all those birds we have to eat. They're yummy.

6. I just got out of a 28 day rehab.

It started off innocently enuff in my youth with popsicles.

In my 30s I was catching my self moving up to icicles.

Not alot mind you. Would sneak up on one of the neighbors porches at night and break one off the roof..didn't think nothing of it.

Next thing you know I'm in my 40s and full blown snowblind 24/7.

Winter days and nights doing nothing but making my way outside to fill my slush bucket with the nectar of the snow God's.

Some days I was so messed up I could only crawl out the door on my hands and knees and lick slush off the stairs.
,
Neighbors would find me and drag me back into my house before I froze to death.

In my 50s my job transfered me from Alaska to Hawaii.

It was there that I finally hit rock bottom.

A maid at a motel 6 found me curled up in a ball next to the hotels ice machine. I was naked and passed out. When I came too I was in the hospital.

Dr's told me I needed to make a change or the next hit of the "cold" I took would be my last.

Feeling good and think I beat this thing.

It's one day at a time tho.

7. The North-Koreans know that their government is lying to them.

Defectors have told that the north-korean people know that their government is lying to them. The North-Koreans know almost nothing about the rest of the world, but they DO know that they are being lied to.

8. perhaps the next film should mention that thank to our evil gop house and senate that even the snow

is being taken away due to climate change.....

with no snow how will starbuck make our beloved coffee?

10. "How Americans Live Today...dramatic music."

Boy. Burson Marsteller (propagandist to Latin dictators) they are not.

11. Tuesday is bird day!

I'm on my way out to catch a robin for dinner.

No coffee because there is no snow in summer.

12. Oh, for some North Korean coffee

only then can we be cured of poverty, loneliness, and homosexuality.

13. mmmmm snow coffee

15. LOL. The "translation" is fake and bears no resemblance to what the Korean narrator is saying.

I wonder how many takes it took for the "translator" to keep from laughing.

16. I see now the video is produced by a comedy team, so it is satire and not real.

17. They each got a cake from the PRNK

As the great leader says, "Let them eat cake." As you can see he eats a lot of cake.
