Is that seriously a commercial? The N. Koreans must have incredible attention spans; a commercial for anything that lasts two and three-quarter minutes in N. America is going to fail and fail miserably. We can barely keep our interest on commercials that last thirty seconds. I swear, we are only one pesky side-effect away from blipverts!

Actually is isn't so much a commercial as an announcement that Uncle Kim wants 100% of the population drinking his beer for heads are going to roll. Literally!
