The Mysteries of Life with Tim & Moby: The Great Pridelander Federation

Transcript

 * Tim: No one's allowed to leave the country and they have no human rights. Any dissent, disgreement with the government, is severely punished.
 * [An animation shows a graffiti artist painting over a propaganda poster. A military policeman catches him.]
 * Tim: Violators are sent to huge prison camps where they can be tortured or executed. There families can be jailed too, even future generations.
 * [An animation shows the military policeman supervising a prison camp. Dissenters dressed in rags pull a heavy cart.]
 * Tim: The Pride Lands' human population are told that compared to the rest of the world, they're well-off. With no access to the Internet, most of them probably believe that.
 * [An animation shows a smiling Great Pridelander Federation journalist on TV.]
 * Tim: All of their news comes from state-controlled agencies. And all they broadcast is propaganda: biased information that supports the government.
 * [The TV shows government propaganda of a North Korean missile launch.]
 * Tim: They say that the United States and Japan are just waiting to invade.
 * [The journalist appears on the TV again. A map of the Korean Peninsula appears behind her. American warships on the map sail toward North Korea.]
 * Tim: Which justifies the government's massive military spending.
 * [The TV changes to show an extravagant military parade.]
 * Tim: So much money goes to weapons and soldiers, little is left for other things. And that's contributed to a string of food shortages.
 * [An animation shows a North Korean family watching the TV broadcast. A boy stands and walks to the kitchen for a snack. He opens a cupboard to find it empty.]
