North Korea Dishes it Out, But Cannot Take It

In light of the recent North Korean reaction to the movie comedy The Interview, it is a little surprising to see North Korea's own propoganda displayed from hypocritcal point of  view.

These cartoons are apparently published by the North Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).  Directed at South Korea's former President (February 25, 2008, to February 25, 2013) Lee Myung-bak.

The earliest image search result I could find of this poster is from March 2014:

This next poster was discussed in an article in The Economist, April 2012:

"Those who cannot understand Korean will have no difficulty in deciphering their rough intent. The clever slogans however might be missed. The first translates as “Let's tear Rat Myung-bak to death!”, the Korean word for “rat” rhyming as it does with the president's surname. South Korean satirists had been making use of this euphony for years; it's probably now time for them to pick a new joke."

The  Economist article references a North Korean News article which is behind a pay wall.
