North Korean TV Ads Take a Step in the Wrong Direction

Apparently, this North Korean beer TV-ad got the "TV Boss Sacked," because it is too capitalistic. While the beer ads seemed to have been working (as demand for beer increased during the time of the airing), Dictator-President Kim Jong-il did not approve.

How do you like those special effects?



Cheers to "North East Asia Matters: The Korean Peninsula," who blogged on this earlier.

Wel, moet se dat hierdie advertensie nou nie juis my gaan oortuig om die bier te koop nie. Een van die swakker advertensies wat ek al in my leeftyd gesien het!

Nogals ja. Dis asof NK in die laat 70s vasgesteek het, en Mnr Kim verbied enige ontwikkeling tot in die "dekadente" hede.
