10 Hilarious Lies North Korea Told The World

3. Children Are Taught All About The "American B*st*rds"

As discovered with the "not a single American will be left alive" statement, the general flavour towards America in Korea is pretty unpleasant. The internet is littered with posters of American rockets being crushed under the Korean fist, American soldiers throwing babies down a well and other general feel good 'we will crush the American aggressors' paraphernalia. Most accounts suggest that these posters aren't that common on the streets of Pyongyang any more and that general attitudes toward Americans has softened amongst the proletariat.

But the same isn't true for the education curriculum. In fact, kindergartens house those very posters and lessons include such classics as 'shooting the American B*st*rd with this toy gun', 'stabbing the American B*st*rd with this bayonet', 'Kim Jong-un's Revolutionary Activities', 'Japan are evil 101' and 'Hang the American B*st*rd with this rope'.

Although the above examples may have gotten a little twisted in translation the general theme is very much true. North Korean children are indoctrinated with a very real hate for Americans, Japanese and the West in general.

Scary huh?
