4	'''Songun Blog''' is a {{parody}} of North Korean propaganda, spanning a [[http://songun-blog.blogspot.com/ blog]] and a [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Songunblog YouTube video channel]]. The writings and videos proclaim the greatness and glory of North Korea's dictator Kim Jong-il with a bizarre combination of {{Engrish}} and PurpleProse that must be seen to be believed.

9	!!''Songun Blog'' provides examples of:
10
11	* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: It claims America is "filled with unemployment, foreclosures, crime, drugs, prostitution, murder and jaywalking."
12	%% * BlackComedy
13	%% * {{Engrish}} and PurpleProse, as mentioned above.
14	* {{Defictionalization}}: [[http://www.rodong.rep.kp/InterEn/ You too can experience great Juche idea.]]
15	* GovernmentConspiracy: Apparently, the US government is behind not only 9/11, but ''Hurricane Katrina'' as well.
16	%% * PropagandaMachine: what they consider all anti-DPRK material to be.
17	* ShoutOut: Songun is the name for the DPRK "military-first" policy.
18	* StealthParody: "This is too well done to be parody," as one reviewer puts it. Its parodic nature is proven pretty much conclusively by [[http://songun-blog.blogspot.com/2006/12/bad-jews-good-jews.html a blog post]] accusing an Israeli soldier of "slap[ping] a cat hard," and a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bTRSjw7Wf4 video]] accusing an American soldier of "Stealing schoolgirls' ham sandwich for sale in 'Israel.'" Unfortunately, not everyone seems to have gotten the joke.
19	* StrawmanPolitical: "the criminal Bush clique of nefariously noxious nazi neocon warmongering hawkish capitalists and their zionist puppet masters," and that's just the beginning...
20	** Which is either HypocriticalHumor or ComicallyMissingThePoint, depending on whether he-she-it is actually in earnest on this...
