The only thing worse than their abysmal human rights record is their butt ugly architecture.

I'm afraid to look. Are they pictures of starving, malnourished people or butt-ugly buildings?

No starving people. Just points of interest, Air Koryo (North Korea's national airline--"Koryo" or "Kogoryo" is the origin of the name "Korea"), and people sneaking into a restricted area in a Pyongyang hotel.
