North Korea is forcing its citizens to buy large decorative photos of a recent Rocket Launch as a sign of patriotism, but residents are pushing back, saying it is a waste of money. The vinyl-coated photos depict the rocket launch of the country's first military reconnaissance satellite and are being sold for 1,500 won (18 US cents). People are complaining that they have already seen enough news about the satellite and missile launches, and some believe that the launches worsen hunger among residents. Poorer residents find the photos expensive and would prefer to receive food instead.
