Kim Jong il dead (ish)

[not-bono-ever]

It was a single-source rumour that half the world's media fleshed out with some further speculation, desperate for an easy story that can be written from home without any need to ring round sources.

the DPRK is a bullshitters dream- they are hardly likely to take anyone to court. Much of the rumour and news that relates to it is heresay and fiction

Was this fake nooz or what?

King John Un is just an attention seeking cunt.

it really shows someone's a nobody when their death is mentioned on someone else's death thread

Google is unconvinced ..

However there seems a lot of media noise around this.

It does seem likely Un is very Ill ..

Read rumours on Chinese social media that he's come here for treatment. (Embedded Tweets don't display here so sorry if that's been said)

More physically preposessing than her brother, so the media will love her.

I remember much optimism at the time in certain newspaper columns that Kim Jong Un would lead the country to democracy, I think solely based on the suggestion that he attended a school in Europe.

Gawd bless the old Imperial tropes, we'll civilize the lot of 'em yet.

Maybe the country just needs a woman's touch.

Is there any way back for any of the Kim gang? It's not like they even have ''liberals'' in the regime who could take over is it.

I suspect there's plenty of corrupt cadre class types who would happily undertake a "reform" programme if they could get their feet under the table.

Down-market Murdoch rag.

Aye, he'd have been paraded on TV just to prove he was alive and kicking otherwise. Wouldn't surprise me really, he's a fat little fuck and I would assume under a lot of stress.

HEADLESS BODY IN TOPLESS BAR

Edited to correct actual headline

 

[gentlegreen]

Bloody hell - only just realised he's only 36.
Presumably genetics comes before lifestyle at that age ?
Unless he was actually getting most of his calories from foie gras...

His sister looks fun

Yes, but now she has a reason to be cheerful. The Vogue and Time photographers and iournalists have probably already checked into their Pyongyang suites
