Photos: A look inside North Korea's mass spectacles
North Korea Staged in Pyongyang
In a Sunday, April 15, 2012 photo, North Koreans rest under portraits of the late leaders Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il in Pyongyang after a mass military parade to celebrate 100 years since the birth of the late North Korean founder Kim Il Sung. The spectacles exist at a North Korean intersection of dogma, tedium and entertainment. (AP Photo/David Guttenfelder)
