Kim Jong-Il is dead.

[Anomalocaris]

That was sudden.

His death had been anticipated for about 3 years now, ever since he suffered a stroke and became greatly enfeebled. That it couldn't be far off was appearently because he bypassed the normal grooming process for his 27 year old son and catapulted him directly to the country's top military post

I wonder what douche bag will replace him and if he will be an even bigger ego-maniac holding the world hostage with nuclear weapons.

His son, who is awfully chubby for someone living in North Korea.

Kimjong il wasn't skinny until his stroke. This son is appearently a psychopath who ordered a failed assassination of his own brother in Beijing. I don't foresee him surviving long in this post.
