Netflix taunts North Korea TV

– Netflix is poking fun at North Korea’s recent foray into on-demand TV, calling itself a “Manbang knockoff” on its Twitter bio.

The tongue-in-cheek change to the Netflix US bio comes after Pyongyang proudly unveiled a video streaming service called Manbang (“Everywhere”), which was instantly described as a Netflix-style service by Western media.

The system allows viewers with some sort of internet access to enjoy the highly-propagandised output of its four state-run TV channels at their leisure. – AFP
