North Korean take on "American Lifestyle"

An alleged North Korean propaganda video has emerged online that claims Americans drink 'hot snow' as coffee, live in tents and eat wild birds on Tuesdays

The four-minute film portrays people in the U.S. as living in extreme poverty, who are lucky to have a floor to sleep on and live on a diet of 'local snow'. 

The supposedly North Korean narrator - 'translated' on the film by a British man - tells viewers: 'This is how Americans live today.'

The 'propaganda' film has already been viewed thousands of times in the three days since it was uploaded. 

It features clips of poverty, cold and hardship. The narrator tells viewers: 'This is how they live in modern day. Huddled together - the poor, the cold, the lonely and the homosexuals.'

The bizarre video appears to use footage from the aftermath of natural disasters filmed around the world. 

Many of the clips seem to have been shot in Europe, and Paris' famous Gard de Nord station is seen in one image.

But the narrator explains this as other parts of America that 'disguise' themselves as foreign cities. 

Either way she says they live a 'terrible life'.

It is said that Americans have to live in tents donated by North Korea and take handouts of snow coffee because their houses 'blow down easily.'

Among the fantastical claims made in the video are that Americans have eaten the bird population almost to extinction. 

The 'yummy birds' that remain in the trees will be eaten on Tuesday, according to the narrator. 

When the film shows a man walking through the snow in what appears to be Paris, the narrator says: 'This man is a former Republican candidate for Oregon who is now having to get coffee made of snow.'

The video also features two elderly men sitting on a bench surrounded by plastic bags.

The narrator tells viewers: 'These people lie huddled together with their dead friends in blue body bags with their coffee cups full of local snow. 

'They are very good friends that are together in adversity.'

The video also accuses Americans of being obsessed with weaponry and buy 'guns to kill each other especially children.'

Last month, Pyongyang released a clip on Uriminzokkiri - Korean for 'Our Nation' - which shows Barack Obama and American troops in flames.

If genuine, the latest video of American poverty could be an attempt to divert domestic attention away from the plight of residents, thousands of whom are believed to be starving after failed harvests. 

It comes as Pyongyang released a photograph of leader Kim Jung Un, that has been compared to a Bond villain. 

He was seen inspecting sturgeon in a pond at the Ryongjong Fish Farm in South Hwanghae, southwestern North Korea in the picture released by the Korean Central News Agency.

North Korea Pokes Uncle Sam

North Korea issues threat to U.S. military

By Ben Brumfield and KJ Kwon, CNN

(CNN) -- Ahead of annual, routine military exercises between South Korea and the United States, North Korea issued its usual caustic objections Saturday. 

It threatened "miserable destruction," if "your side ignites a war of aggression by staging the reckless joint military exercises ... at this dangerous time.

"Though customary, the stark posturing by North Korea stands in the shadow of an underground nuclear test two weeks ago that was preceded by the launch of a long-range missile capable of transporting a warhead.

The detonation of the nuclear charge was the third in Pyongyang's history and the first under supreme leader Kim Jong Un's rule. South Korea's military reacted with fierce military drills, including a public display of newly deployed cruise missiles with pinpoint accuracy. 

It has been on heightened readiness ever since.

The test also triggered a global wave of condemnation, including from Beijing, and plans for new sanctions against Pyongyang.

North Korea issued the objections to exercises Key Resolve and Foal Eagle scheduled for March and April to U.S. commander James D. Sherman, state run news agency KCNA reported.

The message was delivered over the phone in English, South Korean news agency Yonhap reported.

It also condemned the threat of new sanctions over North Korea's recent actions.

A United Nations military commission informed Pyongyang of the upcoming routine exercises, according to a joint statement from U.S. and South Korean military officials.

The commission also told North Korea that they are "not related with the current situations on the Korean Peninsula." Around 10,000 U.S. forces will participate in Foal Eagle from March 1 to April 30. Key Resolve will involve 10,000 South Korean troops and 3,500 U.S. troops in exercises March 11 to 21.

Key Resolve will include U.N. troops and neutral supervisors.
