Pyongyang – North Korea held a pep rally today in which more than 100,000 people attended. And while the events surrounding the rally have generated a massive amount of hype, many came away from the rally feeling a little dissapointed.
“It was ok,” said student Kim IlIl, “I mean, to get 100,000 people to show up, just for a rally is pretty cool. And I heard they put it on television, so that’s cool too. But we’d all heard that there was gonna be some amazing ‘secret guest.’ My friends and I all started to believe that Springsteen was gonna show up, ya know? I mean, we figure the Boss is from Jersey. Kim Jong-il is from Jersey. It just made sense, right? And if not the Boss, then at least Bon Jovi, but instead we got Rudy. Rudy? C’mon, man. He’s gonna be here every weekend. What’s so special about that?”
Meanwhile others who attended seem to think it would be better to stop holding rallys outside and to stop trying to cater to families and tourists.
