North Korea Staged in Pyongyang
In this April 15, 2012 photo, North Korean soldiers attend a mass military parade in Pyongyang's Kim Il Sung Square to celebrate 100 years since the birth of the North Korean founder Kim Il Sung on Sunday, April 15, 2012. The spectacles exist at a North Korean intersection of dogma, tedium and entertainment. (AP Photo/Vincent Yu)
