Kim Jong Il's CafePress Shop

The North Korean government starves their own people, imprisons American journalists, and has recently stepped up production of nuclear weapons. The North Korean regime also appears to be involved in selling souvenirs through the California-based personalized gift seller CafePress.com.


The Korean Friendship Association, a state-run organization dedicated to “defend[ing] the independence and socialist construction” of North Korea has a CafePress shop where they sell mousepads, t-shirts, hoodies, trucker hats, pins, and other items emblazoned with propaganda posters and insignias glorifying the government.
