- ironeus, on 08/23/2008, -4/+262Dictators really like their body doubles. If the Japanese professor's assertions are true it would be quite astonishing to keep it up for such a long time.
- WordsnCollision, on 08/23/2008, -14/+240That's what she said...
- inactive, on 08/23/2008, -4/+228they fake almost every other thing about the state of their nation, I wouldn't be surprised.

"American spy satellites succeeded in photographing Kim. An analysis of the photographs led to an astonishing conclusion: Kim had grown 2.5 cm!"
1. Would this conclusion be reached by shadow analysis?
2. Ever heard of shoes? - cmallinson, on 08/24/2008, -12/+193No, he's not dead. I was playing golf last weekend with some friends, and we only had three, so he joined us for the round. It was unbelievable. He got 16 holes in one. He was lights out.
- Wanger1234, on 08/24/2008, -0/+111The funny thing is that Kim Jong Il is known to wear platform shoes. I wouldn't be surprised if he gradually increase the height of the platform with each successive pair, you know, just to make sure no body suspects anything.

- hockeyisgd, on 08/23/2008, -2/+57You know he may have learned this "trickery" from Andy Kaufman.
- haloplayer9672, on 08/24/2008, -2/+57Oh no, he grew 2.5 cm! How impossible! I can't believe we've been seeing a facade of the real man!
- myopicweasel, on 08/24/2008, -3/+54Very crever Hans Brix
- mikephimikephi, on 08/24/2008, -1/+51Actually Raul Castro has been in charge for quite a while.
Your ignorance must be bliss. - neko, on 08/24/2008, -5/+55One monkey in a suit looks much like another.
- Cyre, on 08/24/2008, -1/+51What is a costra?
- inactive, on 08/24/2008, -26/+73Evil tyrants using body doubles--has anyone checked on Bush lately?
- benzzene, on 08/23/2008, -3/+49Kim Jong Il was a huge movie buff. Maybe he loved "Dave" so much he made it official policy. Maybe the new guy will declare democracy.
Well, a guy can dream, can't he? - IphtashuFitz, on 08/24/2008, -5/+50A photo montage of all his body doubles was accidentally leaked to the public so they don't use them any more: http://www.jcnot4me.com/images/Bush-monkey.gif
- thegrantman, on 08/24/2008, -3/+48You're insulting monkeys.
- Bennessy, on 08/24/2008, -0/+42I'm pretty sure they just started using the marionette from Team America when he died. A puppet regime of sorts.
- sonofffej, on 08/24/2008, -1/+41SPACE MAGIC, OKAY?
- krisscofield, on 08/24/2008, -3/+39It's kind of sirry. But, not rearry.
- TheMachine1, on 08/24/2008, -9/+40"In the spring of 2006, says Shigemura, American spy satellites succeeded in photographing Kim. An analysis of the photographs led to an astonishing conclusion: Kim had grown 2.5 cm!"
Satellite photography can resolve something to 2.5 cm? Reminds me of the lame ass TV shows were the forensics expert does a zoom on a low resolution grainy photo. I had the idea of a comdey skit where the forensic experts keeps zooming in till he see atoms and then strings proving string theory. - gcnaddict, on 08/24/2008, -1/+32Yeah, well they obviously copied Equilibrium.
- eradicator, on 08/24/2008, -2/+31"Movies great, except for Team America movie by South Park guys. Two thumb down!!"
- Erectile, on 08/24/2008, -1/+28Ronery.
- IphtashuFitz, on 08/24/2008, -1/+28It's possible the spy satellite got pictures of him shoeless. I seriously doubt intelligence officers would be taken in by something as obvious as a pair of shoes if they really are able to snap photos of people clear enough from space to attempt to measure their height.
- sat0shi, on 08/24/2008, -1/+27I take it you haven't lived in North Korea have you? Well, I haven't either but... I take it you haven't read or seen anything about North Korea have you? To compare the US to NK is probably the most retarded thing you could ever do, and I'm not even American.
- unclecaveman, on 08/24/2008, -1/+26It's "since". Sense is what your comment does not make.
- cloudberries, on 08/24/2008, -0/+25Using CSI's magical pixel elimination software, and Photoshop's "Sharpen" tool
- cruzlee, on 08/24/2008, -3/+28Of course he's not dead. This is Kim Jong 2.1
- directedition, on 08/24/2008, -2/+26Now I'm very curious. How do you measure someone's height from a satellite photo? Is it just me? Or at those pictures usually form the top-down. =/
- num3thod, on 08/24/2008, -2/+26??
Buried. Moron. - johndi, on 08/24/2008, -2/+25I'm not so confident in the intel guys after what they claimed to be seeing in satty photos of Iraq.
- Reclinatron, on 08/24/2008, -0/+23Shadows and algebra would be a good way.
- jgzman, on 08/24/2008, -2/+24Not in North Korea, it wouldn't. We get practically no data out of that country, and I doubt the people take the time to look up to see who, precisely, is screwing everything up.
- xeomage, on 08/24/2008, -0/+22Honestly when I read that my first thought was that if they had such a photo it was more likely taken by a spy, not a satellite. They'd probably say it was a satellite because they wouldn't want to admit they had spies in North Korea, with the added benefit of making enemies wonder if they could tell 2.5cm _height_ differences from space.
- inactive, on 08/24/2008, -1/+23You fail at trolling.
- Mootabolife, on 08/24/2008, -1/+23And really.. how hard is it to fake being a tyrannical dictator? Just kill a few people here and there, threaten a few countries here, and ensure that your people have the worst living conditions world round.
- inactive, on 08/24/2008, -3/+24No he isn't ! And btw, Oceania has already been in war with Eastasia.
- IphtashuFitz, on 08/24/2008, -2/+23I think Saddam Hussein was known to have something like at least 5 body doubles. It certainly wouldn't surprise me if Kim also has body doubles, and it also wouldn't surprise me very much if the DPRK did something like this. Kim Il Sung was North Koreas first leader, and he groomed is son Kim Jung Il to rule once he was gone. Kim Jung Il doesn't have any offspring to groom, so there's no clear path of succession. The Kim's are/were revered as almost godlike. The "cult of Kim" permeates all aspect of North Korean life, and every household is required to have at least one photo of each of the Kim's hanging on a wall. Without another Kim to rule once Kim Jung Il is gone I'm sure the ruling party is scared of the reaction of the North Korean people. I could certainly see them attempt to put off the inevitable as long as possible by pulling a stunt like this.
- fattehboi, on 08/23/2008, -36/+57he weally is dead? how arful!
- norman619, on 08/24/2008, -1/+21Let me guess you also subscribe to David Icke's view that shape-shifting reptilian aliens are ruling the world. Right?
- Splinterx, on 08/24/2008, -1/+21Wow way to go Mr World Affairs expert.
- captainslack, on 08/24/2008, -2/+21This same thing happened to Paul McCartney!!
- cloudberries, on 08/24/2008, -3/+22I thought it was awesome. And almost thirty seven times less dumb than you, Sir Dumbalot of Castle Dumb, near the City of Dumb, Dumbland.
- DephexTwin, on 08/24/2008, -1/+20And suits.
- Medicamusic, on 10/28/2008, -1/+19I dont think people get that this is a Team America joke...
