Something's wrong...

PYONGYANG, North Korea -- Kim Chol Min and his wife are browsing in the furniture section of the cavernous, deserted Taesong Department Store as music blares from a 43-inch Toshiba TV set priced at $3,500.

A government employee, I estimate...

Talking to a reporter under the watchful gaze of a government minder, they claim life has gotten so much better in the past three years that they can afford to be here shopping for furniture and a wardrobe on just two months of savings. "Thanks to ... the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il, our economy has improved step-by-step," says the bespectacled 50-year-old power station employee. "Our lives have "greatly" improved... in every way."

Oh. I guess he's just another supporter of Kim Jong Il...
