Picture of the Day: Group Advocates for North Korean Human Rights Bill
Orit Kopel (R), CEO of the Jimmy Wales Foundation, speaks during a press conference, held by the American Human Rights Foundation, in Seoul on Sept. 30, 2015, to urge South Korea’s parliament to approve a bill to promote human rights conditions in North Korea. (Yonhap)
There is no Jimmy Wales Foundation.
This is a publicity stunt for a new vampire movie…
…complete with these 3 vampire character actors sent over from Central Casting.
The joke is obvious when you realize Orit means “light” in Hebrew and Kopel is a Middle Dutch metonymic occupational name for a merchant.
According to the script, “The Light Merchant”, posing as a human rights worker, brings destruction upon a clan of North Korean vampires threatening to distribute infected bats to the world with North Korean ballistic missile technology.
There is a funny scene when they open a box of food aid and it is nothing but garlic. The one labeled “steaks” is actually filled with stakes. In one scene, the vampires try to escape to a border “crossing”. You can guess how that ends.
Balloons sent from a secret South Korean vampire resistance group filled with holy water also causes a vampire-melting rain scene that looks impressive.
The Light Merchant starts filming this month in South Korea. Look for it in the Summer of 2016.
