Tens of thousands of people gathered in Kim II Sung Square in Pyongyang, North Korea, on Monday holding up banners with slogans including "Long live the Great Leader Kim Jong Il". Shanghaiist was amused to hear we're observing only a "Year of Friendship" with this country in 2009. We've always thought they were our BFF.



No sign of the Great Leader himself- doesn't look good.
I'm liking these no comment videos. Maybe they seem a little slower with no voice-over, but at least i don't have someone telling me what to think about what I see.
What a way to keep warm in the cold winter chill!
