Something so disturbing about this photo...

[Dover]

Attention!
North Korean soldiers goose step through Kim Il Sung Square in Pyongyang, in celebration of North Korea's 60th anniversary.

1. Those shoes are horrible

And the brown belts don't go with them at all.

[Aqaba]

2. Is that a panyhose commercial??

[dkofos]

3. That would be easier for them if the skirts were shorter.

I wonder why Lil Kim didn't think of that.

[slackmaster]

4. I'm sure the clothes are a lot more comfortable in the Joy Brigades

[merci_me]

8. Their skirts used to be shorter

but now that North Koreans are 3 inches shorter, they need to adjust the uniform regs. Geez, McIdiot warned about that in the debate. Heads up folks!

12. They could save millions on fabric alone.

5. What, the fact that they make Germans look like uncoordinated ducks?

I've seen videos of North Koreans marching. A still doesn't do it justice - those mofos can *march*.

I'm sure the ladies would prefer pants, though.

6. what are the marks on ankles?

bruises? tattoos? scuff marks?

9. Dover, Yes - disturbing. Sad, also. In the style of the Hitler reich..

Will any of our debt holders require us to be this obedient?

[nevergiveup]

10. When I first looked at this photo

my mind immediately went to Sarah Palin. I am not sure why.

17. Great minds think alike

I was thinking the same thing....lol....that's what the world would become if she does become president.

11. Soldiers in heels, pantyhose, and skirts?

Pantyhose melts at high temps and fuses to the skin. Heels in combat? Skirts?!

Totally weird.

13. They have a lot nicer legs then the SS.

[Auggie]

14. Unquestionable obedience to totalitarianism is always disturbing

[Dover]

16. Yes, I think that's part of it....

They don't look real....or there's so little trace of their individuality or humanity.

And they are probably among the lucky ones in that impoverished country.

[Auggie]

22. Robotic. Yeah...

[tabasco]

15. Some hotties in there.

They look like they'd rather be somewhere else.

"C'mon gals - time to do our little show for the tubby asswipe."

[marions ghost]

18. cross between

the SS and the Rockettes?? Gah

That one in front's about to show her britches.

I suppose this could be a turn-on to some masochists who'd like to be trampled by them...

[monmouth]

19. Survival, I'm sure, for many of them....n/t

21. Beware the Snappers of Doom!!!

23. Third row fourth one in is the nonconformist, she has a secret, she isn't wearing

[jpgray]

24. Culottes would be far more practical
