You should watch the video before you judge, the video it self isn't propaganda it only exposes propaganda.
It's got to be true...it's from good ole DEAR LEADER and it's on the intarwebs.
The film assumes that propaganda and marketing are the same thing. The difference is that with propaganda, the opposing view isn't allowed. Just as people chant simplistic lines around Obama, the same thing happens around all his opponents. The difference with propaganda (especially in places like North Korea) is that the opposing view isn't permitted. Citizens aren't allowed to question the idea that Kim Il Sung is the savior of all North Koreans.
PLEASE take a look at this before taking anything anyone from the North Korean Government says seriously:

North Korea is a creepy, twisted place.
Professional liars whose job is it to keep people in front of their televisions, reading gossip magazine, eating vast amounts of toxic food . . . and shopping, always shopping. D:
Has this man just broken a world record? Has he just created a medecine that can save thousands of lives? Perhaps he has been chosen to represent his community in some way?
No. This man has just purchased a telephone. :awe:
And these people . . . what is making them scream and cry with such profound joy? They are on a television show where they are receiving consumer items.
This hysteria is not because they have found God. This is because they are receiving . . . sneakers. :awe: :awe:
The propagandist knows that an individual has a natural desire to be on the winning side and to fit in with the crowd.
One of the easiest ways to do this is to make them chant favorable yet deliberately vague slogans like:
"This changes everything." "Just do it." "I'm lovin' it." "Support our troops."
You want to create a slogan that everyone's for, and no one is against.
Propagandists provide simple answers to complex questions, and ask for approval without question.
They can use this method to sell phones, violence, cosmetics, or even false wars.

Is this film over-the-top propaganda? Absolutely!
But there's more truth in it that many here would ever be willing to admit.
tl;dw? Click the handy-dandy excerpted links above. ^^^ Just do it. It changes everything. You'll be lovin' it. Support this post!
North Korea is probably the most hermetically sealed, total propaganda state ever. The disconnect between what they tell their populace and the truth is more vast, and their monopoly on any such info more complete, than just about anywhere.
I guess it takes one to know one.
There's a whole other side to the story this propaganda film attempts to portray. Of course there is. But this film also contains space station sized kernels of truth, which we all ignore at our peril.
Thanks OP for posting this.

Why do people buy into this sort of stupidity?

Why are we able to view this video? Shouldn't our government be blocking it? Oh wait, that's right, we're not North Korea, for example...
