Hey, Blog Guy, I’ve been thinking about a vacation in North Korea, but I’ve heard it’s kind of bleak there. Is that true?
Well, as this television screen grab from a North Korean candy commercial shows, their M&Ms seem to come in a very limited array of colors, which is kind of a bummer for the kids.
Actually, maybe that’s not what’s going on here. According to the caption for this photo, these are North Koreans dressed as eggs, performing in something called “My Prosperous Country.”
Since I have no clue about the content of this show, I’m going to guess it features catchy tunes like “Bring the Gang to Pyongyang,” and “TLC on the DMZ.” Or, you know, maybe not. Your guesses are welcome via Post a Comment.

I’m glad to be able to clear this up. I found a copy of the Playbill using Google Books. From the intro:
“The Kaesong Goes Marching Along” is the big finish to Act I and “Oh Say Siniju See?” has them weeping at the close of Act II.
“But nothing prepares the audience for the emotionally wrenching hat song: “I Surrender, Dear (Leader).”
Fun fact: “L’il Kim” attended the premiere. Hasn’t been heard from since.
