He's going to be embalmed like his dad......and placed in a glass coffin.......:D
At a cost of nearly 1 million dollars a year for each of them. :facepalm:
 
anyone else watching the documentary on bbc four? 'north koreans: a state of mind' follows a couple of school girl gymnasts as they prepare for their performance for the general at the games
 
yeah it was really good but what an arsehole kim jong il was. those kids spent the best part of a year practicing hours and hours every day and he couldnt even be bothered to turn up to watch them.

He was out working for the country, ffs. He was a busy man. :mad:

But yeah. Didn't turn up once. By all accounts the people rarely saw him and never heard him speak. One kind of wonders how much he ever actually did, or even how much he really controlled. Before coming to power, his dad had led the country in the war. He had, um, well, written a couple of operas...
 
Looking forward to this, when it finally gets published.

From this chap.

I wouldn't mind seeing that three-hour guerilla war epic, Sea of Blood, officially directed by the recently departed Dear Leader, but actually made by a left-wing director from the South, who escaped Syngman Rhee's anti-Communist repression. Would also like to have a stab at some DPRK Socialist Realist literature. Or the Korean approximation thereof.
 
No idea if its the true story but anyways...

Theres a hole in your dam, dear leader, dear leader,
Theres a hole in your dam, dear leader a hole.
Fix it you fuckers, you fuckers,
I'm getting quite angry,
grrr ughhh bleurgh I'm dead.

The late North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il, died from a heart-attack brought on by a temper tantrum over sloppy work on a crucial power station, reports in a South Korean newspaper claim.
According to unnamed sources quoted in Chosun Ilbo, a conservative national newspaper, Kim Jong-il died in a fit of rage after being briefed about a leak at a hydro-electric power station.
The reports claim that Kim became violently angry after hearing that there was a leak of water at the power station in Huichon, which is about 120 kilometres (75 miles) north of the capital.
The newspaper quotes a source, who asked to remain anonymous, saying: "After being briefed about the leak, Kim Jong-il lambasted officials and ordered them to repair it
"He rushed to make an on-site inspection of the facility unable to contain his anger and died suddenly."​

This is a good one too... Crossing the Line.

A doc about an American who defected to North Korea during the war and still lives there.


You can watch the whole thing on youtube in parts.
 
There's another good doc about American soldiers who defected to China, after being captured during the Korean War.

They Chose China.
