[Archived] Kim Jong Il

[adopted scouser]

See that ridiculous grieving on the streets ? Wailng and beating the floor ? Millions spent in arms while his comrades starve and have little or no healthcare.

Can't help thinking that just off camera guns were pointed at those grieving.

Are we worried that his offspring now has his chubby little digit on the button ?

How can you say that about the dear departed worlds greatest golfer?

Good effort. btw ....... Are you in charge of obituaries these days Nick? 'Morturator' I presume. Is there such a word?

However go easy on the rent a mob. Remember they know little else and they worship him for turning America and the Western Powers into nuclear dust, dominating the Olympics, selectiong a korean beauty to win Miss World and of course winning the World Cup final 10-0 against a combined Rest of the World X1.

Sounds a bit like a Kean claim?

Seems like no one take him serirousryyyyyyyyy.....

[Tom]

They just feel so ronery now he's gone.

But seriously I don't think we could even begin to understand it, they live their whole lives under propaganda as probably genuinely think he was brilliant for them.

The noise in those videos were scary it sounded like a horror film

Kim Jong was Il, now Kim Jong Dead

Thats because he worked rearry hard and made up great prans.

Like something out of 1984, his lad looks about 15!

"Belived to be around 28". Believed by whom? He looks like a teenager!

Highly recommend 'Nothing to Envy', written by a female American journalist, Barbara Demick. Tells of everyday life in North Korea, can't be 100% trusted as written by a Westerner but a good insight into life there. Some snippits I remember:

All households in DPRK must display two photos above their fireplace, each of the two past leaders (now to become 3?). Below these pictures is a small box, this contains a cloth which must only be used to clean these pictures, random inspections take place.

TV is controlled by the state and reports upon the miracles of Jong Il and Il Sung. These include Il Sung ordering the weather to change to save a stricken ship, it did!

Special pins are awarded to those who 'tell' on their neighbours, source of great pride.

Punishment for 'serious' offences result in the two nearest generations of the offender punished by removal to prison camp, so children and parents of offender or perhaps parents and grandparents.

Pyong Yang is carefully controlled to impress what visitors there are. Very few old, weak, even short people are permitted to live there, hardly any disabled. Healthy people populate the streets.

During the state induced famine of the 90s almost all wildlife was eaten, rats, mice, frogs, birds, trees, bark, grass.

I think in his honour this must be released

Millions spent in arms while his comrades starve and have little or no healthcare.

Could easily translate to an American context.

Britain under the Tories 1979 - 1997 and 2010 -.......

I don't give credence to any of the stories about Kim Jong II except him scoring 11 holes-in-one on his very first round of golf.

Now that's just par for the course.

Dunno jim, I'd say Labour's 90 days without trial, ID cards and secret courts were more up Kim's street.

[neekoy]

F**k him...

[adopted scouser]

It's the end of his Korea

[koi]

Kimmy would have loved illegal wars like Afghanistan and the disaster that was Iraq, in fact I'm sure I heard he had a picture of Blair hanging on the wall.

[Baz]

His first two heirs were bypassed because they had taken off on holiday to Disneyland Tokyo without his permission.

Reckoned that over 2 million died of starvation in his time in office.

Those two facts are bizarre.

I always did enjoy this site though

Seriously though I once read some extracts from a journal from a woman kept in one if the camps in north Korea, horrible stuff

I'm about a quarter of the way through the book. Sounds to me like she got her inspiration from 1984, especially the bit about the shoes and Mrs. Song's husband complaining. Says that the people take great pride in denouncing their neighbours and papers ran articles on kids who did it to theirs.
