North Korean Television Announces Death Of Kim Jong Il

North Korean Television "emotionally" announces the death of it's leader. Seems he died of fatigue whilst on a train journey.

Read the book Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea to see how these bastards fubar'd their country.

I think the dynasty just ended. The son has nowhere near the devotion his father garnered.

I had totally expected a report about how Kim Jong Il had seen a meteor heading for his train, jumped from it, caught it and redirected it, giving his life to save everyone on the train. Since they claim he just died of "fatigue," it makes me wonder if he was assassinated or something. North Korean journalism is of the quality of Baghdad Bob.

At least Kim Jong died never having to take more than one swing at a golf ball to get it in the hole...

I'm afraid the son will believe he has to show how strong he is--by starting a war.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Red house? I get it! Obama's a communist.

Communism is on the rise people. We have to stand strong against the red menace.

I wonder at what point in the 21st century communism will stop being the bogeyman? Talk about a dead horse. It's a failed ideology with heaps of stigma. Even communists don't call themselves communists anymore. >> ^quantumushroom:

Fox appears imbalanced because they're not 100% propagandists for the obama red house and taxocrat party, like the other guys.

North Korean journalism: Still more fair and balanced than Fox News.

Lol, I don't know what's more ridiculous, the 'red house' comment or being so lacking in a sense of humour that he feels he has to rush to the defense of Fox from humorous comment... \= |

Well, technically Kim-il Sung's preserved corpse was still the President, right? Now that Kim Jong-il is dead, does he now succeed him in that post?

Kim Jong-un could possibly keep the charade going as long as he claims a direct line of communication to the spirit of his father/grand-pappy, no? Jong-il wasn't nearly as popular as his father when he died either (though probably much more so than Jong-un at the time of his father's death, as he was publicly groomed for future leadership for, what, 15 years prior?).

I'll check for that book next time I'm at the library. It's a shame Hitchens had to go right before this arshole, I would've loved to hear his opinion on this entire situation. Prolific as he was, it's likely there are some articles/videos out there concerning Jong-un's suitability/future as heir presumptive.
