Noooooooooooooooooooo .... mmmmnoooooo ... all thosedevastated people ... malnourished, food, energy deprived people crying their heart out .. Why? ...

he is dead, in a better (or worse place) ... was bad, not the first and last

will be missed by some (someone's dad and loved one), while not missed by others ... even enemies don't like change and are weary about it

re: the generals

I don't think the generals would capture the power - they'd still have to reinstate and empower one of their own then. So in the end, it's just swapping one for another plus there'd create a big mess in the process.

re: mass weaping

It was really sad to watch it and I don't believe the people are faking it. It's a product of cult of personality. These people were indoctrinated to love their leader since childhood.

re: unification

It can only happen with one condition - the socio-economic gap between the two people must be minimal. Presently, it is at its maximum and the divide continues to grow. Had the unification happened today, the North Koreans would have gone South. They'd be unemployed there and lot's of social problem would have risen like crime.

I'm more interested where all of this could lead... so many possibilities..... just want to watch it all progress. I just hope someone even crazier than the last doesn't come into power... just imagine how his son could be with someone as that as role model.

2. In 2004, Kim Jong-Il claimed to have invented the hamburger

enhanced-buzz-30284-1324272245-98.jpg

Jong-il called them 'gogigyeopbbang,' which is Korean for 'double bread with meat.' Just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?

3. Kim Jong-nam, the oldest son of Kim John-Il, was originally going to replace his father but lost his chance after a "botched attempt" to visit Japan's Disneyland

enhanced-buzz-23907-1324266748-233.jpg

"In 2001, Kim Jong-nam and his entourage were detained at Narita airport, en route to Tokyo Disneyland. Kim had attempted to enter the country on a forged Dominican Republic passport, using the Chinese name Pang Xiong - Fat Bear. "

4. Kim Jong-Il was actually born in Siberia

5. Kim Jong-Il once attempted to ship all the short people out of North Korea

enhanced-buzz-4374-1324267004-138.jpg

"Jong-il?s government issued a letter to every short man and woman in the city, telling them of a new wonder drug which would boost them to average, if not beyond ? but, when the short people arrived, they found no drug present. Rather, they found themselves kidnapped, whisked away to parts unknown, in an attempt to rid Pyongyang?s gene pool of their substandard stature. These people were never heard from again."

6. Kim Jong-Il's father, Kim Il-sung, is technically still in charge of North Korea

enhanced-buzz-10949-1324267386-72.jpg

That's right, the president of North Korea is a dead man.

7. Kim Jong-Il does not have an officially recognized date of birth

Soviet records list it as February 16th, 1941, while Korean records list it as 1942.

8. In 1978, Kim Jong-Il kidnapped director Shin Sang-ok and forced him to make a "socialist Godzilla" film

Sang-ok later escaped to the United States and directed Three Ninjas: Knuckle Up.

9. There is a flower, Kimjongilia, named after him

enhanced-buzz-10949-1324273346-95.jpg

10. Kim Jong-Il has over 50 unique titles

enhanced-buzz-5107-1324268952-47.jpg

These include: "Guiding Star of the 21st Century, Brilliant Leader, Commander-in-Chief, Guiding Sun Ray, Highest Incarnation of the Revolutionary Comradely Love, Party Center, Ever-Victorious, Iron-Willed Commander, and Dear Leader, who is a perfect incarnation of the appearance that a leader should have."

11. Kim Jong-Il "routinely shoots 3-4 hole-in-ones" every time he plays golf

enhanced-buzz-6607-1324269089-5.jpg

12. Kim Jong-Il is a heavy drinker, reportedly spending spending about up to $800,000 a year on Hennessy cognac

enhanced-buzz-24742-1324316506-5.jpg

All this until 2006, when a UN resolution effectively banned foreign goods from going to North Korea

13. Kim Jong-Il's favorite movies were Friday the 13th, Rambo, and Godzilla

enhanced-buzz-6590-1324277169-18.jpg

14. Kim Jong-Il planned to breed giant rabbits to solve North Korea's hunger problems

enhanced-buzz-6607-1324273968-10.jpg

"Despite Szmolinsky warning that the rabbits would make the situation worse - they only yield about 15 pounds of meat and have a huge appetite for carrots and potatoes - Kim insisted the animals should still be sent."

15. When he was forced to give up cigarettes for health reasons, Kim Jong-Il forced the entire country to do the same - effectively banning them

enhanced-buzz-22151-1324316535-8.jpg

He has also banned "mobile phones, newspapers, the internet and books."

16. Kim Jong-Il reportedly injects his body with the "blood of virgins" in an effort to stay young

17. Kim Jong-Il kept up a completely deserted propaganda city

enhanced-buzz-26559-1324271284-100.jpg

Kij?ng-dong is a city right on the border between North and South Korea. The city contains "a number of

brightly painted buildings and apartments" that, upon closer inspection, are just "concrete shells lacking

window glass or even interior rooms, with building lights turned on and off at set times and empty sidewalks

swept by a skeleton crew of caretakers" to give the city the "illusion of activity."

18. Kim Jong-Il's biography claims his birth was "foretold by a swallow and heralded by a glorious double rainbow and the appearance of a new star"

enhanced-buzz-22164-1324316581-8.jpg

19. And that he can control the weather

enhanced-buzz-10949-1324273272-93.jpg

20. His biography also says that he does not defecate or urinate

enhanced-buzz-24766-1324316602-9.jpg

No wonder he was so full of ****.

Idk something doesn't feel right when poking fun at the dead even if they are tyrants.

I know what you mean. But he and his father were directly responsible for a huge amount of deaths.

We may never know the exact figure, since it was such a closed country.

It was deaths after deaths.

Idk something doesn't feel right when poking fun at the dead even if they are tyrants.

Normally, I'd be inclined to agree, but this guy and his dad have essentially destroyed an entire nation, and their own at that, so I find it very hard to sympathise with him or anyone who aligns with him. This is a country so destroyed by it's forced belief system that even the Chinese give them a wide berth. In a world of crazy countries, NK is Gary Busey.

    • Same, price was right for my Home, laptop, phone. Works great!
    • Brave and Firefox. I’ve been using them as my primary browsers for a while now, perfect combo
    • They want Ring 0 access. Should be a hard no. A middle ground needs to be found.
    • WFP can be a bit buggy. I switched to the new SocketFilter when 7.22.7 came out. I haven't had any issues so far.
