- dannomite, on 06/02/2009, -2/+38*****, there are more?
- DesertTripper, on 06/02/2009, -0/+35So, did a double rainbow appear and birds sing with human voices when this kid was born too?
All this "Dear Leader" stuff would be funny if it wasn't so utterly pathetic. I downloaded a National Geo special on NK a while back where they followed a doctor removing cataracts (caused by malnutrition.) After the people's vision was restored they took some footage in a big room that reminded me of an evangelical church, where people were actually weeping in thanks to the Great Leader and the Great General. (No mention, of course, of the doctor.) It made me almost physically sick. - borez, on 06/02/2009, -2/+31The legacy of the wacky narcissistic dictatorship continues.

You're an idiot, why don't you make another invalid connection? - inactive, on 06/02/2009, -0/+19Amazing how a country of millions can be controlled by one *****..
- Daerion, on 06/02/2009, -0/+19One of the crappiest puns I ever had the misfortune to witness.
- RichMan, on 06/02/2009, -6/+23Kim Jong UNCOOL
- inactive, on 06/02/2009, -12/+28"Dad, why have we got all the same name?"
"Because we are a bunch of crazy lunatic dictators, son. Now go plant some nukes in the garden."
In case you were wondering, I was quoting the Bush family. - Amirshareh, on 06/02/2009, -0/+16Fail Kim is the surname....
- andrewh7, on 06/02/2009, -0/+13People who run totalitarian regimes in which dissenters are put in death camps and, despite widespread hunger, the vast majority of food and money is put toward the military, don't need to be demonized. It is sufficient to simply state the facts. The trilogy of terror, grandfather, father, and son convince the kids from birth that they are Gods. You should go setup a lawn chair on the river between North Korea and China, where people fleeing North Korea are often gun downed in the water. Go to a North Korean rural marketplace and you'll see bags of food with USA written on them, meant to be given away, being sold by the pound like it's a grocery store. Xmod3 - you are either an obvious shill or the dumbest piece of ***** in the whole world.
- christoast, on 06/02/2009, -1/+13I will not love you long time
- Stemp, on 06/02/2009, -0/+12It's pretty common to have the surname of your father
- ShakingSpirit, on 06/02/2009, -0/+12That's South Korea. They're a tiny bit different.
- just2pissUoff, on 06/02/2009, -0/+11it's called a monarchy, they just don't admit it to be as such.
- mickstephenson, on 06/02/2009, -0/+11The media may sex up some of the reporting on North Korea, but the fact remains it IS a wacky dictatorship, and the country IS seriously ***** up beyond belief.
- Philbert, on 06/02/2009, -1/+11You'll what?
- directedition, on 06/02/2009, -0/+10I assume you're one of the north koreans who's job it is to post pro-DPRK posts on their official website pretending to be from other countries.

- Awwzm, on 06/02/2009, -0/+9"He's said to be about 5 ft. 9 in. (175 cm) tall, is overweight (nearly 200 lb., or 90 kg) and may suffer from diabetes, according to South Korean press reports."
This is the only picture of him I've seen. He must look like *****. - alexkim804, on 06/02/2009, -3/+12KILL IT WITH FIRE!
- RealmDown, on 06/02/2009, -0/+9"that's like asking a black person how they feel about white cops."
Watched the news lately ? - RealmDown, on 06/02/2009, -0/+9*Yawn* another ***** troll
- prompel, on 06/02/2009, -0/+8The biggest ***** is always the boss.

- NYC10004, on 06/02/2009, -0/+8"When Jong Un shook hands with me," Fujimoto writes, "he stared at me with a vicious look. I cannot forget the look in the Prince's eyes:"
Yeesh. Creepy "Children of the Corn" psychopaths.
Do we really want to let somebody who was this evil as a child have a nuke?! - ThugThrasher, on 06/02/2009, -0/+8youngest son
middle child
not all children are sons.
get it now? - kingpinmicky, on 06/02/2009, -1/+8Unfortunately this North Korean shell game isn't likely to stop anytime soon, regardless which Kim is in power. They just keep pushing back against almost the entire world community, seeing how far they can test their missiles or concealing what in the hell they're really doing with their reactor. You know it's bad when pretty much their only "ally" China is concerned, which makes a lot of sense because they don't want to deal with millions of North Korean refugees if the Kims decide to actually strike militarily. But the North Koreans are in the driver's seat with this because they know none of the world's major players are willing to do anything serious about it, unless they get close to making a number of full scale nuclear weapons with deliverable capability. The North Korean government can't be as stupid as to think that they could win a full-scale war against the South allied along with U.S. help. They know they'd be getting the worst of it, so it's likely they'll just keep at it, blackmailing/collecting some food aid or whatnot to keep their country from completely imploding. Like I heard one analyst say it's all probably just one big act to convince the people in their own country that the government is strong enough to handle another transition to a new leader. I sincerely doubt this stalemate will be seriously changed anytime in the near future.
- sfasu77, on 06/02/2009, -0/+7LOL, come on man crack open a history book or look at a ***** map!
- BohicaTwentyTwo, on 06/02/2009, -0/+6You can't build a cult of personality overnight. It takes years of mind numbing propaganda. If Kim kicks the bucket too soon, North Korea will fall, hopefully inward.
- notoneofus, on 06/02/2009, -0/+6A Japanese person who happens to have been closer to the Kim family than most other outsiders. If you read his accounts, most of them are reasonably even-handed. There's obviously a negative angle to what he relates as he did leave and return to Japan. If it was all sunshine and unicorns, Fujimoto would probably still be in N. Korea making sushi.
- skipvt, on 06/02/2009, -0/+6I wonder what's going to happen to his other son, Long Dong Jong now?
- greeniemeani, on 06/02/2009, -1/+7"Kim regards Jong Chul, Jong Un's older brother, as being "girlish." And their older half brother, Kim Jong Nam, appears to be a flake, having been detained and deported in Japan in 2001 after traveling on a phony passport and claiming he wanted to visit Disneyland."
Wait - which one is girlish again? Not the one sneaking out trying to go to Disneyland? - Cowboy1015, on 06/02/2009, -1/+7Well, let's see how this turns out.
- inajeep, on 06/02/2009, -0/+5Cut and paste much? Don't bother answering your blocked as you have nothing to add to any discussion.
- inactive, on 06/02/2009, -0/+4Give me 5 dollar or die.
- ryanonfire, on 06/02/2009, -0/+4OMG DIGGLET!
- MoralThreat, on 06/02/2009, -0/+4Wait, someone had sex with him?
- NSResponder, on 06/02/2009, -2/+6You can thank Stalin and FDR for that. FDR didn't give a ***** about Korea, so he let Stalin have half of it. Stalin didn't give a ***** about Korea, so he grabbed the first commie from that country he could find and crowned him.
-jcr - Barbarino, on 06/02/2009, -0/+4I saw that too, but they have to act that way or they and their family get sent off to camps...
- andrewh7, on 06/02/2009, -1/+5He's a chip off the old totalitarian dictator. He's gonna make daddy proud by suppressing all dissent and threatening to use nukes every time he wants free money from his neighbors.
- kingpinmicky, on 06/02/2009, -0/+4Yeah icepick I'm not imagining that would look too much better. It's pretty amazing to think about how closed down the North Korean society truly is if this is pretty much the only picture that the international media has of the son of a political leader who's an adult now. It must truly be like living in 1984 over there in North Korea...
- SisyphusFragmnt, on 06/02/2009, -0/+3obvious angry manchild is obvious
