Digital Education in Emerging Spaces

North Korean Poster about the Evils of Imperialism.. blah blah blah

These posters are fun, in some sort of macabre way. Being an optimist at heart, I prefer to assume that the huge handed man above is merely giving CPR to the American, using the missile as a buffer so he doesn’t break the American’s ribs (with his huge hands).

Apparently, the Juche ideology of North Korea is so superior, their citizens have three (huge) hands.

Lest I be quoted tomorrow in the North Korean Worker’s Paradise Daily Shopper Sun Times, I am being sarcastic. He is obviously not giving the American CPR, but I stand behind my 3 hands comment.

What do you think?
