No, that's not it at all.

A large swath of North Koreans really did believe that Kim Jong-Il could control the weather and that his father killed invaders by using his tears as bullets. They don't have food, you think they have outside sources of information?

You know, I thought about that too while I was watching the video. It really made me think about what the world would be like without the free flow of information we have today. It just goes to show how people can be manipulated when their only source of knowledge comes from the people that rule over them.

Actually, if you look closely at the video, there are no tears anywhere. Just a bunch of dry-eyed women wailing and making a great show of it.

More North Korean nuttiness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSLJYbhXCkE

Even the TV anchors can't hold back their "sorrow."
