The North Korea Google Earth project
Props to mr804 for providing the link to this.
A caution: You may want to take a couple of Rolaids before going on your satellite tour of the country. Landmarks include prison camps for children, a mass graveyard that essentially covers an entire mountain, grotesquely inadequate infrastructure for the general public and palaces the size of small cities for Kim and his ilk to lounge within (we're talking enormous swimming pools, water slides, golf courses, etc).
Quote:
"Natasha has just come up to the window from the courtyard and opened it wider so that the air may enter more freely into my room. I can see the bright green strip of grass beneath the wall, and the clear blue sky above the wall, and sunlight everywhere. Life is beautiful. Let the future generations cleanse it of all evil, oppression and violence, and enjoy it to the full."

Is there any way we could hack the thing and put a flaming lidless eye above the waterslide? Also, forced labor camps for children... that's fucking awesome.
North Korea, where it's always winter and never Christmas.
"The whole conception of God is a conception derived from ancient Oriental despotisms. It is a conception quite unworthy of free men."

I downloaded the file, what do I view it with?
...Hack it? Really, now, let's give these gentlemen some credit...
...As you can see, the fellows were thorough. They would never have missed out on such an important feature as the ever watchful lidless eye that burns as a thousand baleful candles.

You need to use Google Earth, Alison.
