Work for the North Korean Government?

You know, it might be interesting to work for the propaganda department of the North Korean government.

Some of the great writings emanating from that department:

"When the most beloved leader Kim II Sung passed away, thousands of cranes descended from heaven to fetch him. But the birds couldn't take him away because they saw that all North Koreans cried and screamed and pummeted their chests and pulled out their hair. Deeply moved, the cranes instead put Kim II Sung to rest in a heavenly palace built on earth."

"The momentus event caused pear trees to bloom in autumn, and fishermen netted a rare albino sea cucumber - a marine animal that had come to hail the Dear Leader's triumph. Seeing the mysterious natural phenomena, Koreans say that Kim Jong-II is indeed the greatest of great men produced by heaven."

It's a great job coz you are given the creative license to turn a tiny morsel of information (whether fact or fiction) into a colossal gospel truth. Isn't that great fun?

But then I guess it might be a high-risk job. Plus it might also compromise certain important but inconvenient values such as integrity
