North Korea just built the creepiest water park you've ever seen
- fibbery 13y agoSeems like a pretty average water park from the pictures...
- alexchamberlain 13y agoAgreed; Washington Post may be over egging this one...

- k-mcgrady 13y ago1. How is this creepy? 2. How is this in any way relevant to HackerNews?

From http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html: >On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.
- pieterhg 13y agoExactly what's creepy about this?
- UnoriginalGuy 13y agoThis article is nothing but propaganda. I'm no defender of NK and all the screwed up stuff they're doing (political prisons, torture, inequality, threatening their neighbours, et al) but they're trying to turn a story about NK opening a nice little waterpark into this dark conspiracy. Plus labelling it "creepy" is frankly just bizarre, and simply does not fit. If you want to take digs at NK you don't have to be this disingenuous, just remind people of all the screwed up stuff NK actually does to their citizens (like real, honest to goodness screwed up stuff). Plus traditionally aren't articles about children and women the go-to topic for propaganda pieces? You know, play up the emotive side of it to the point that no rational discussion against the propaganda can take place? Nobody is going to get emotive about a damn waterpark.
