RIP Kim Jong Il

[RAddams]

He may not have been liked in the West but he certainly was funny.

it's amazing how brainwashed the north koreans are. this man treated his people like garbage. most of them living in poverty, starving of hunger while he dined on the finest meals in the world.

yet he passes away and these same people flock the streets and morn him as if jesus died again.

Opps
Someone just told me that is not Kim Jong Il, so here is a correction:

wow, 1924. A few years before the Down With Imperialism Union in 1926.

 

[CNYCarol]

Rest in Pieces, Kim.

 

[Mushroom_Samba]

hmmmm... Does anyone remember the reports years back stating he had sex with underage girls? That bit of info came and went very fast.

Dear Leader's accomplishment:

...Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, who during a 2002 briefing presented a satellite image showing a nighttime Earth: "If you look at a picture from the sky of the Korean Peninsula at night," said Rumsfeld. "South Korea is fIled with lights and energy and vitality and a booming economy; North Korea is dark."

[Ezra] Klein adds:

"That, right there, is Kim Jong Il's legacy. In a world that had long ago found light, he managed to keep 24 mIlion human beings in the dark."

Criticised by the same people who failed to see the advances Stalin gave to the Soviet peoples.

I also loved Kim Jong Il's performance in the classic Poltergeist movie.

I think he missed his real calling. Tiger would have had to throw away his clubs if Jong was on the course.

"In golf, the gold standard for quitting while you’re ahead was always considered to be Bobby Jones.

The legendary amateur retired from competitive golf at age 28 after winning all four of the sport’s major championships -- at the time, a Grand Slam consisting of the U.S. and British Opens, and the U.S. and British Amateurs -- in 1930.

But then, along came Kim Jong-il and one incredible day in 1994, when the Dear Leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea picked up a golf club for the very first time, and -- as witnessed by 17 security guards and reported by the state news agency -- shot a smooth 38-under-par round of 34, including 11 holes-in-one.

And never again played the game..."

What is the age of consent in the DPRK? Were they pre-pubescent? I think those factors would be critical to know before passing judgement.

 

[ChinaBandit]

Apparently, there was no consent required in matters that involved the "Dear Leader."

To be fair, there are two sides to every story.

You could say that the DPRK has less of a carbon footprint and is not contributing to global environmental degradation as much as other countries, could you not?
