Will there be a name change in N Korea?

Henceforth, will Kim Jong- Il be known as Kim Jong- Dead?



Too soon?

When we were in China we considered going on a tour to NK just to see what it was like. You can only go as part of a tour and you have a minder with you at all times so you only get to see what they want you to see. In particular we wanted to see one of the 'mass games'. These are stadium displays with tens of thousands of performers and relatively few spectators (ratio of 10 to 1) made up of local big wigs and the few tourists who go.

Anyway, we checked a site that dealt with these visits (it was British) and they said you must be very careful when you go there. One Brit asked the guide (typically gorgeous young women with excellent English) why it was that Kim-jung Il was the only fat person in NK. It took the British embassy two weeks to arrange to get him out of jail and thrown out of the country. Apparently in NK, a sense of humor (not to mention the right to speak your mind) is a serious political crime.

Saw some pictures of the new kid/pres today. They were taken while he was just standing there while Daddy was doing something to run the country. He looked as dumb as a post. Hard to imagine him having the brains and ruthlessness to dominate the country the way Dad and Grandpa did. I wonder how you say 'coup' in Korean?

The Incredible Kim Jong-il and his Amazing Achievements - Telegraph

Quote:
Known to his people variously as The Supreme Leader, the Dear Leader, Our Father, the General, Lodestar of the 21st Century or Eternal President, Kim Jong-il has been credited with a mind-boggling series of achievements.

* Even before his birth, the future leader of North Korea was triggering miracles. Official biographers say his birth in a cabin on the slopes of Baekdu Mountain in February 1942 was foretold by a swallow and heralded by a double rainbow. When he was born, a new star appeared in the night sky.

* The first time he picked up a golf club, in 1994, Kim reportedly shot a 38-under par round on North Korea's only golf course, including 11 holes-in-one. He then decided to retire from the sport for ever.

* Kim has the ability to alter the weather simply through the power of thought.

* The fledgling leader was a genius as an infant, with official North Korean biographies stating that he had learned to walk at just 3 weeks and was talking at 8 weeks.

* As a junior high school pupil in Pyongyang, he corrected and chastised his teachers for their incorrect interpretations of history.

* Kim wrote six full operas in two years, "all of which are better than any in the history of music," according to his official biography.

* He designed the Tower of the Juche Idea, a 170-metre tower in the east bank of the River Taedong in central Pyongyang that is topped by a glowing red flame.

* Kim's official biography also claims that he wrote 1,500 books during his time at Kim Sung Il University, from where he graduated in 1964.

* According to the Korea Central News Agency, Kim is an expert on all aspects of the film industry and "improved the scripts and guided the production" of the movie "Diary of a Girl Student." His favourite movies are reportedly "Friday the 13th," "Rambo" and anything starring Elizabeth Taylor.

* Kim reportedly employs a servant to inspect every grain of rice that is served to him. Any with the most minor of flaws is discarded.
