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. |

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. |

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... |
