But I mean we can keep debating it here without doing research, that's good too.

I figured it was too good to be 100% true (which was why I resisted putting here when I saw it), but even your first researched source there admits that they reported as true at first.

Correction: As the Huffington Post points out, this video is real but the English overdub is fake, the work of a British travel writer named Alun Hill. The original North Korean propaganda video does indeed portray life in Western countries as bleak, impoverished and hopeless, but it’s not specific to the U.S. Hill also exaggerates the video’s claims, although he is broadly true to its underlying message. Talking to the Huffington Post, Hill confirmed the video is authentic. (Though I took his overdub too seriously, I did write in an earlier version: “There are a few clues suggesting the original video, if not necessarily the English dub, may be authentic.”) I’ve modified this post to remove reference to Hull’s fake version.
