SKIRMISHER

There’s nothing more powerful than jazz to lure me in. Jazz and plain text. Jazz and plain text and words like “fuck” and “gender equality.”

Okay, breathe: jazz, and plain text, and words like “fuck” and “gender equality,” and bold, blinking letters.

If you’re like me, you’ll also probably enjoy Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries. It’s a flash-based website created by Young-Hae Chang and Marc Voge. It’s all animated, but the whole thing’s nothing but black and white text and jazz music and refreshing pulses of text that describe daily life and questioned asides.

Their most controversial, and some say “acclaimed,” piece is “Cunnilingus in North Korea.” It’s based on a supposed speech by North Korean strongman Kim Jong-Il on “dialectical sex and gender” and how it’s supposedly more sexually pleasurable to have sex under North Korean communism. Irony and funny people like Stephen Colbert come to mind, but personally, I love the piece because it used Nina Simone’s “See Line Woman,” which simply makes the “speech” more dazzling and perversely hilarious.

In North Korea, sexual equality is sexy… most women in North Korea enjoy prolonged foreplay… prolonged foreplay means a long, long time…

Suffice it to say that North Korean women are sexually happy women, and their male partners, thanks to their superior knowledge and practice of cunnilingus, are proud to bring the women to climax after climax after climax…

CUNNILINGUS IN NORTH KOREA
