Here is a rare instance where I actually agree with the Kim regime, no parent should let their kids watch squid game which is brutally violent:

North Korea has been taking jabs at South Korean Netflix megahit “Squid Game” by airing criticisms of the dystopian-thriller coming from many countries around the world. 

The nine-episode show, the U.S. streaming company’s all-time biggest hit estimated to generate $900 million (1.06 billion won) in value, features hundreds of debt-ridden adults participating in a series of deadly Korean children’s playground games to win 45.6 billion won in prize money. The drama is Netflix’s most-viewed drama in 90 countries.

“Squid Game is about survival in a capitalist society where you can earn money if you win by any means and you die otherwise. As children have started acting out games from the violent drama, schools around the world have been advising children not to watch it and urging parents to take extra precautions, but they are helpless,” North Korean state-run website Arirang Meari said, Tuesday.

The propaganda site picked a few examples of opposition to the thriller’s content.

That’s because it’s about Norkistan.

I think NK is just upset about the defector character, Saebyeok. Otherwise, the North should rejoice at yet another cartoonish critique of capitalism.

Slim Fatty probably took notes on the games and will do it when he gets bored.
