Opposite poles
Two new entertainment offerings, one from Egypt and one from North Korea.

From Egypt:

From North Korea:
Excellent Horse-like Lady. Pop song by Kim 3's girl friend, with purely modern tune and instrumentation, but conveying 100% perfect antique Stalinist doctrine. Diligently Fulfill People's Five-Year Cotton Quota! Diligently Sacrifice Self to Realize People's Industrial Plan!
= = = = =
The Egyptian offering is a true flowering of democracy in the best sense. A very large part of Egypt's own people were repressed by Mubarak, who was too busy whoring after IsrAmerica's power and money. Now they get a chance in mass media.
The NoKo offering is vastly more familiar to Americans. Using modern and colorful needles to inject officially mandated toxic ideology. It's Seth MacFarlane. It's Family Guy and American Dad. It's Fox. It's CNN. It's TheOnion. It's Seinfeld and Ellen and Whoopie and Glee. It's everything in this miserable fucked former country. ¶ 4:25 AM

From Egypt:
A TV channel managed solely by women wearing the niqab or the full-face veil has been launched in Egypt. Now devout women who wear the veil have the opportunity to find themselves a job.
According to the channel’s owner Abu Islam Ahmad Abdallah the idea behind the project is to give veiled women a face and a voice, help them find a ground where they could work without being discriminated.
The niqab was banned from Egyptian television screens for years by Hosni Mubarak. "A veiled woman applied for work at a TV channel but didn't get the job. How come in that environment women wearing the niqab are victims of discrimination?" he said. "For this reason, I decided to start a channel and help pave their way in the hope that others follow my lead," Abdallah said.
