The 65th anniversary celebration is on the heels of the most recent news out of North Korea that Kim Jong-Un reportedly executed his ex-girlfriend for violating pornography laws.

Dennis Rodman also recently visited his "friend" Kim Jong-Un and met his child, and called Jong-Un a "very good guy," despite the continued human rights abuses by the North Korean regime and the continued imprisonment of its people in camps.

North Korea also apparently has a big meth problem.

But hey, parade time in Pyongyang!
