The Propaganda Museum in Chongson

Though the mad cow/idiot vigils downtown may be of recent vintage, this museum takes one back through time with North/South propaganda found in dropped leaflets — many that are rare and difficult to find (slide show).

Do you enjoy the article or are you just looking for something to criticize?

the former, while also pointing out that this blog is no longer cutting edge in terms of news.
