Paying Respects

This photo doesn't seem like it would be banned, but it very much is. Tourists were able to witness the school children paying their respects to the Dear Leader, but something was amiss.

The tall boy in the middle had his scarf tied on wrong, and the guides did not want that to be seen due to it being "imperfect" and a "bad representation" of the country.
