An establishment parody

Rarely does an institution parody itself as has the South Korean military in creating a video entitled "Les Militaribles."

I am guessing that the authorities who made this video didn't intend it to be a parody, but a brave borrowing of form and content of the immensely successful film version of Victor Hugo's "Les Miserable". 

Instead of advertising the sacrifice and hard work that the conscripts of the South Korean army undergo "Gangam style," the "Les Miz" style is a more appropriate choice. It celebrates virtues of nobleness and community, while the Gangam culture is a bit on the undignified, lampoon side of things.

"Les Militaribles" has gone viral.
