Children’s Day is celebrated all around the world, even in North Korea. Of course, it wouldn’t be a DPRK holiday without some sort of twist to it.

One of the many activities planned for children this past Sunday included shooting arrows at crudely drawn pictures of Barack Obama, as well as what looks like a horrendous depiction of South Korean President Park Geun-hye in the background.

None of this is particularly shocking. North Korea’s official news agency called President Obama “juvenile and delinquent,” as well as a “clown,” “dirty fellow” and “a crossbreed with unclear blood.” As for President Park, they’ve called her “a dirty comfort woman for the U.S.” and a “despicable prostitute.”  Children also reportedly attack dolls that look like American soldiers for fun.
