Cry me a river

According to an article in the Daily NK, a South Korean newspaper, citizens who failed to show the proper amount of public bereavement and sorrow in regards to the recent death of the late North Korean dictator Kim Jong il will now spend six months in a re-education camp. Teach them how to mourn properly. Another crime that will get you sentenced to a long stretch is harboring doubts about the dynastic succession.

“The authorities are handing down at least six months in a labor-training camp to anybody who didn’t participate in the organized gatherings during the mourning period, or who did participate but didn’t cry and didn't seem genuine.”


Furthermore, the source added that people who are accused of circulating rumors criticizing the country’s 3rd generation dynastic system are also being sent to re-education camps or being banished with their families to remote rural areas.

I'd be crying so loud you'd think I was on Queen for a Day. Quite a country they got there.
