North Korean State TV Airs Bizarre Comedy Sketch Mocking President Obama.

A North Korean TV channel has aired a comedy sketch show poking fun at president Obama and the leader of South Korea.
The show, which aired on government-run Korea Central Television, has two actors playing the part of Obama and his secretary.
The sketch shows the president with a bloodied and bandaged head with the secretary asking if he is alright.
He responds: “I smacked my head on the bathroom floor and broke four tiles on it as I was so shocked from the North’s hydrogen bomb detonation!”

The “secretary” then jokes as the audience roars with laughter: “So Mr President, you were testing the hardness of your skull while the North was testing its hydrogen bomb?”


Later in the show, South Korea is described as a society “corrupted to the root” and where the government “oppresses” its people.
An actor playing a South Korean police officer refers to the country’s president, Park Geun-hye, as a “rampaging mad dog” and a “granny” who purges anyone anti-American.

“Granny Park in the Blue House is enraged as the anti-American sentiment is rising in the South,” says the police officer, who is then ordered to arrest anyone who “squints, frowns, punches” at anything to do with the US.
According to NHK News, the North Korean media regularly condemns both the US and South Korea.
However, they say it is the first time the two countries have explicitly been used in its comedy.
