- ekianjo 13y agoThis is probably just to make it look like they do learn stuff on computers, but the level of poverty in NK is so appalling I doubt they have computers in most schools.
- leoc 13y agoOh, most people in NK never get a sniff of a computer.

It has such a classic Soviet propaganda feel, it's appears to be entirely hand-painted despite the fact that it's offering computer courses (hand done sign lettering is a dying art in the West), and it has an awesome retro-futuristic robot! Now I'm wondering what those dates on the bottom refer to.
