North Korea Bans Singing


:kaukau: Has anyone here seen The Little Mermaid III? Or at least heard the concept? Basically, it's a straight-to-DVD sequel that's about how King Triton had singing banned in his kingdom, and Ariel has to change his mind using her Mary Sue powers. It's an utterly ridiculous pitch. No leader in his right mind would ever actually ban singing. That's a concept that's too dumb even for kiddie viewers.

 

Except apparently Kim Jong-Un did it. Seriously, for realzies, in the real world. This actually happened. Glorious Leader is wise!

 

Now I'm in the mood for that movie.

Actually, several totalitarian regimes (from old-school Islamic caliphates to Lenin's U.S.S.R.) have either held great disdain for music or tried to ban it entirely.  This is because, "...music is an expression of the human spirit – the very thing that these totalitarians were trying to master." 

 

Also, I think I saw that movie way back in the day, but don't remember anything much about it.
